HOMOGENIZERS
Homogenization & Emulsification
Homogenization or homogenization is any of several processes used to make a mixture of two mutually insoluble liquids the same throughout. This is achieved by turning one of the liquids into a state consisting of extremely small particles distributed uniformly throughout the other liquid.
Our partner, Kinematica, has a wide range of products for the purpose of homogenization and emulsification offering Quality without compromises, in-depth expertise, and continuous innovation. Attention to details, transparency, and a genuine consultancy approach allows APICAL & Kinematica to offer tailor-made solutions for every application – even the most difficult ones.
The legendary POLYTRON® brand that is encompassing the line of Rotor/Stator technology Homogenizers Disperse and homogenize for batch processing in laboratories, pilots plants, and production.
We also offer powerful Stirring and Dry Milling solutions under the POLYMIX® brand. If you’re looking for highly-customizable reactors they can be found under the REACTRON® brand.

Apical has taken years of validated field experience and product trials to develop practical technologies that work every day. We combine academic principles with cutting-edge design to provide equipment that can be relied on for years to come with safe, easy operation, high throughputs and consistent product. The same can certainly be said for Kinematica AG.
Together, we work to master the finer points,and deliver high throughputs, successful process development, facility safety and efficient commercialization.
Systems are built to DIN and cGMP standards for consistent production as well OSHA guidelines for safety. Apical takes industry guidelines seriously to ensure limited downtime, straight-forward audits and predictable operation.
No myths about residence time, degradation or physics, no designs with built-in obsolescence, no exaggerations about system capabilities or pay-to-play obstacles to efficient processing.
Apical has tested a wide range of designs under production settings to pierce the veil and remove the mystique around chemical processing so business operators can focus on the customer and not a daily headache.
