Homogenizers - Used and Surplus Inventory | IPP

Used homogenizers are high-pressure or high-shear mechanical systems that break down particles and blend immiscible phases into stable mixtures. Whether producing creams, sauces, pharmaceutical suspensions or biotech samples, homogenizers are critical for creating uniform particle size and improving stability. With more than 47 years of experience, IPP offers used, secondhand and surplus homogenizers from 20 global plant sites and a massive inventory of over 15,000 ready-to-ship process systems.

IPP stocks both laboratory and production-scale homogenizers from leading manufacturers like APV Gaulin, GEA Niro Soavi, Microfluidics, IKA and Kinematica.

Primary uses across industries

In pharmaceutical and biotech, for emulsifying ointments, reducing particle size, and cell disruption
In food and beverage, for milk homogenization, sauces, dressings and flavor dispersions
In cosmetics and personal care, for lotions, gels, and creams with stable textures
In chemical and specialty applications, for emulsions, suspensions, and dispersion of solids into liquids

Types of materials processed

Liquid-liquid emulsions such as oil and water
Liquid-solid suspensions such as pigment dispersions
Cell-based media in biotechnology and microbiology

Common materials of construction

Homogenizers must handle pressure, shear, and chemical compatibility:

316L stainless steel for sanitary and corrosive applications
Hastelloy or ceramic internals for abrasive or highly reactive processes
FDA- and cGMP-compliant designs for regulated industries

Key features of industrial homogenizers

High-pressure (up to 20,000 psi) or high-shear rotor/stator designs
Multi-stage homogenization for fine-tuning particle size
PLC integration for pressure control and repeatability
Sanitary construction with CIP/SIP options
Skid-mounted or bench-scale units for flexible deployment

FAQ

Homogenizer FAQ

Have questions about Homogenizers or our services? Learn more about our products and why customers choose IPP.

What’s the difference between high-pressure and high-shear homogenizers?

High-pressure homogenizers force fluid through a narrow valve to reduce particle size, while high-shear models use rotor–stator mechanisms to mix and shear ingredients at high speed.

Can a used homogenizer meet FDA or cGMP standards?

Yes – many of IPP’s homogenizers are built for regulated environments and include CIP/SIP features. We can help verify compliance.

What should I consider when selecting a homogenizer?

Key factors include the required particle size, viscosity of the product, sanitary requirements, and whether batch or continuous operation is needed.

What are the benefits of buying used or secondhand process equipment from IPP?

With over 47 years in the industry, IPP offers fast delivery, significant cost savings and expert support tailored to your production goals.
