How Microfluidizer® Processors work - Learn more about our fixed-geometry Interaction Chambers

How our Microfluidizer® Processors Work Product enters the system via the inlet reservoir and is pulled into a constant pressure pumping system which pushes the material through a fixed geometry Interaction Chamber™ at up to 30,000psi (2068 bar) where it experiences consistent, high shear rates and impact forces. All material receives the same treatment to achieve consistent, reliable results. After passing through the Interaction Chamber™, the product is effectively temperature-controlled and collected. The combination of the constant pressure pumping system and exclusive fixed-geometry Interaction Chamber™ is what makes our Microfluidizer® Technology superior and enables our customers to achieve unparalleled success.Microfluidizer Interaction Chambers Microfluidics designs, develops, and builds to the highest standard, anticipating that you will push our equipment to its limits, whilst maintaining consistent and high-quality product output. Our Microfluidizer® Processors are the gold standard in the industry for applications that require high shear. The fluids that are processed inside the Interaction Chambers™ can travel at velocities of up to 500 m/s, faster than the speed of sound (343 m/s). In addition to the high shear forces, impact forces from collisions with the micro channel walls and with the fluid itself are the other primary forces that assist in particle/globule size reduction. A change of velocity in magnitude or direction exposes the fluid to a high shear field. High turbulence inside the microliter volumes is also responsible for mixing on the nano scale. Y-Type Interaction Chamber™ Used for emulsions (oil in water), liposomes, and polymer encapsulations. Microfluidics Y-type chambers are available with a microchannel range of 75 to 125 μm with varying shear rates optimized for each application. Please speak to our team to identify which chamber is best- suited to your application. Z-Type Interaction Chamber™ Microfluidics® technology delivers not just the highest shear forces but also applies them uniformly, ensuring that every mL of material undergoes the same high shear rates, whether 1mL at a time or many liters per minute, to achieve nanoemulsions with a tight particle size distribution. Over time and after prolonged use, Interaction Chambers™ will begin to wear; their flow rates will gradually increase until they are unable to reach the maximum pressure. Microfluidizer® Processors are designed to compensate for 20% wear before the maximum pressure can no longer be maintained. To ensure optimal performance, we recommend replacing these chambers with genuine OEM parts. There are many reasons to select guaranteed genuine Microfluidics parts, from maintaining optimum performance and efficiency whilst also reducing/eliminating downtime.
