Abstract
The present invention is a high pressure homogenizing apparatus and a method for dividing a fine solid material or fibrous cellulose of chemical, medical, and resin products in suspension as a dispersion or emulsification, or dividing by crushing cell membranes of fungi with high efficiency. The apparatus is free from valve damages to simplify maintenance and control. The high pressure homogenizing apparatus to finely divide a raw material in suspension includes a high pressure homogenizing device having an orifice, a raw material receiving passage connected to the high pressure homogenizing device, a processing piston, and a processing recess disposed in a receiver. A front end of the processing piston is inserted into the processing recess with a pressure intensifier and a volume compression inside the processing recess pressurizes the suspension in the processing recess to lead the suspension into the raw material receiving passage for dividing the raw material.
