Introduction
TRILOS ND500 is the pilot-scale production model homogenizer. It is suitable for pilot-scale production and process validation. Its flow rate reaches maximum 60L/h when the pressure keeps at 3000bar. The position of inlet and outlet are at the right side of the homogenizer for cyclic homogenization. The upper inlet is customizable if required. TRILOS ND500 is available for TRILOS Automated Homogenization System.

Performance:Ultra-high pressure&Sub-Micron Homogenization
The maximum working pressure of the TRILOS UHP Nano Homogenizer Series achieves 4000bar. They are capable of reducing the particle size down to sub-micron level and nano level, ensuring uniform particle distribution and particle stability.
Microfluidics: X/Y/Z-type Diamond Interaction Chamber
The interaction chamber is made of 316L stainless steel outside and made of synthetic diamond inside, which has high pressure resistance and wear resistance. As the material passes through the interaction chamber, it is exposed to intense shear, turbulence, cavitation, and impact forces generated by ultra-high pressure and the fixed geometry. The fixed geometry is X/Y/Z-type. Each type has a different characteristics and a wide range of application. The following table demonstrates the differences among them. These combined effects effectively reduce particle size, break down agglomerates, and create highly uniform dispersion or emulsification.
TRILOS uses special design on the microchannels within the interaction chamber to adapt particle size and ultra-high pressure. Therefore, it does not block when large particles pass under high pressure.

Smart: Touchscreen & IoT Platform
TRILOS UHP Nano Homogenizer series use a 10 inch digital touchscreen, displaying a pressure-time graph and real-time parameter on the homepage. Pressure is controlled by a rotary. Historical data can be saved and viewed.
TRILOS IoT platform pioneers in the high pressure homogenizer industry. The IoT platform is a key medium to automation, where enables the connection between homogenizer and tablet via the internet and bluetooth. TRILOS IoT platform allows users to remotely control and view the historical data.
Versatile: A Wide Range of Application
TRILOS UHP Nano Homogenizers are essential in industries where nano-scale control, high stability, and consistent product quality are critical. The equipment achieves nano-dispersion, nano-emulsion, deagglomeration, cell disruption, efficiently improving uniformity and stability of the material and narrowing particle size distribution.
Cooling: Circulating Water Bath
TRILOS circulating water bath can transport the low-temperature cooled water into the UHP Nano Homogenizers to take away the heat generated by the operation of intensifier pump. The high-temperature hot water is then transported to the water bath for cooling. This cyclic cooling exchange achieves temperature control of the pump.
Cleaning: CIP/SIP
TRILOS UHP Nano Homogenizers support CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place). The port for CIP or SIP is external. The dead corners can even be cleaned and sterilized.
Resistance: Acid & Alkali/High Temperature
TRILOS UHP Nano Homogenizers are resistant to acid and alkali solution (less than 3%). They are temporarily resistant to strong acid and alkali and high temperature (lower than 600℃).
Portable: Movable Design
TRILOS uses a vertical and portable design on the UHP Nano Homogenizer series. They are installed with leveling casters for transport convenience.
Scalable:Horizontal Scalability
The ND500 and ND1000 are available for horizontal scalability. We can add more machines to the production line to fulfill yield and quality requirement.
