30L Bottom Homogenizer Vacuum Emulsifying Mixer – Laboratory and Pilot-Scale Emulsification Solution
The 30L Bottom Homogenizer Vacuum Emulsifying Mixer is a compact yet powerful emulsification system designed for R&D laboratories, pilot plants, and small-batch production. This equipment features a unique bottom-mounted homogenizer design that offers superior processing capabilities for high-viscosity materials compared to traditional top-mounted homogenizers. The complete 3-in-1 system integrates the main emulsifying pot with oil phase and water phase pots, providing a comprehensive solution for developing and producing high-quality creams, lotions, ointments, and other emulsion-based products.
Product Overview
The 30L Bottom Homogenizer Vacuum Emulsifying Mixer is manufactured by Wuxi Maxwell Automation Technology Co., Ltd., a company with over 18 years of experience in industrial mixing and filling equipment manufacturing . The equipment features a bottom-mounted homogenizer positioned at the lowest point of the vessel, allowing materials to flow naturally into the shear zone under the influence of gravity. For high-viscosity, highly thixotropic pastes, this design is more effective at achieving fine particle sizes than top-mounted homogenizers, typically achieving D90 ≤ 5 microns or even nanoscale particles .
The complete system comprises three integrated vessels: the main emulsifying pot, the oil phase pot, and the water phase pot. The cover of the pot is of automatic lifting type, and materials in the water and oil pots can directly enter the emulsifying pot under vacuum through the conveying pipeline. The discharging mode includes the emulsifying pot turning type and the bottom valve discharging type . The heating of materials is realized through electric heating pipes heating the heat-conducting medium in the pot mezzanine, with heating temperature arbitrarily settable and automatically controllable .

Why Choose Bottom Homogenizer Design?
The bottom homogenizer configuration offers distinct advantages over traditional top-mounted homogenizers for specific applications:
| Feature | Bottom Homogenizer | Top-Mounted Homogenizer |
|---|---|---|
| Homogenizer Position | At the lowest point of the vessel | At the top of the vessel |
| Material Flow | Gravity-assisted flow into shear zone | Requires pumping or suction to reach shear zone |
| Ideal For | High-viscosity, thixotropic pastes | Lower-viscosity emulsions |
| Particle Size Achievement | D90 ≤ 5 microns or nanoscale | Typically micron-scale |
| Discharge Efficiency | Complete drainage; minimal residue | May leave residual material |
With a bottom-mounted design, the homogenizing head is positioned at the lowest point of the vessel. Under the influence of gravity, the material flows naturally into the shear zone. For high-viscosity, highly thixotropic pastes, this design is more effective at achieving fine particle sizes than top-mounted homogenizers .
Three-Pot System Configuration
The 30L Bottom Homogenizer Vacuum Emulsifying Mixer features a complete 3-in-1 system comprising three integrated vessels, as detailed in the core product page FAQ :
Main Emulsifying Pot Functions:

Frame Scraper Mixer: With VFD to adjust speed (10-120 rpm).
Vacuum: Vacuum decreases bubbles during processing.
Homogenizer: High-speed shear and emulsifying (0-3000 rpm).
Oil Phase Pot Functions:
Heating: Same as main pot, with its own heating system and control system.
Impeller Mixer: 0-1200 RPM with adjustable speed.
Water Phase Pot Functions:
Heating: Same as main pot, with its own heating system and control system.
Impeller Mixer: 0-1200 RPM with adjustable speed.
Performances and Features
According to the core page and manufacturer documentation, the equipment offers the following key features:
All-Round Wall Scraping Mixing with Frequency Speed Adjustment: The all-round wall scraping mixing adopts the frequency converter for speed adjustment, so that high quality products of different processes according to customer requirements .
Diversified High-Speed Homogenizer with Powerful Mixing: The diversified high-speed homogenizer can powerfully mix solid and liquid raw materials and can rapidly dissolve many insoluble materials such as AES, AESA, LSA, etc. during the liquid detergent production process so as to save energy consumption and shorten production period .
Three-Layer Stainless Steel Tank with Mirror Polishing: The pot body is welded by imported three-layer stainless steel plate. The tank body and the pipes adopt mirror polishing, which fully conforms to GMP requirements .
Flexible Heating and Cooling with Convenient Discharge: According to customer requirement, the tank can heat and cool materials. The heating way including steam heating and electric heating. Easy to discharge, bottom direct discharge or by transfer pump .
Two-Way Wall Scraping Mixing: Mix materials quickly, and it is very easy to clean, saving cleaning time .
Homogenizer with 0-3000 rpm: High-speed shearing to obtain high-quality products .
PLC or Button Control: Control vacuum, temperature, frequency, and time setting system .
Working Process
The "WORKING PROCESS" section of the core page describes the standard operating procedure in detail:
Put the materials into premix tank oil phase tank and water phase tank, after heated & mixed in water tank and oil tank, it can draw the materials into emulsifying tank by vacuum pump. Adopting the middle stirrer & Teflon scrapers residues in emulsifying tank that sweep the residues on the wall of the tank to makes the materials wiped off become the new interface constantly .
Then the materials will cut off, compressed and fold by the blades to stir, mix and run to the homogenizer. By the strong cutting off, impact and turbulent current from the high-speed shear wheel and fixed cutting case, the materials are cut off in interstices of stator and rotor and turn to particles of 2-6um promptly. Because the emulsifying tank is working under the vacuum state, the bubbles that produces in the process of mixing is taken away in time .
