A pressurized product is subjected to turbulent and laminar forces in a very narrow ring-shaped gap. In this process, fat globules or agglomerates are broken up and evenly distributed.
This physical energy input results in stability, color intensity, flavour, consistency and a long shelf life, thereby reducing the use of stabilizers.

The product characteristics make it necessary to carefully select suitable materials and generate the right design. The components used by GSS were developed with practical application in mind and can be modified depending on the specific application.
All values supplied by GSS are highly efficient and service-friendly, and they have low-noise levels. A choice of valve materials is available, e.g. high-tensile stainless steel and sintered materials, to homogenize a wide range of different products.
The materials used on our pistons can be chosen to match the particular product characteristics. We have large range of material and different coatings for any particular specification. Ask us about our special GSS coating system which greatly extends service life.
Aseptic homogenizing technology, i.e. homogenizing after heat treatment, is often used to process UHT or sterile products, and you can significantly increase creaming stability. GSS homogenizers are available as septic or aseptic versions.
The new GSS packing system greatly extends service life. Ask us about our special GSS system.
