CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The typical operating pressure range is 1500–3000 bar, as listed in the directory. Higher pressures within this range produce finer emulsions, with 3000 bar used for nano-emulsions. However, the exact pressure capability depends on the specific model and application, so verify with the manufacturer.
Wetted parts are constructed from 316L stainless steel, with PTFE seals and EPDM O-rings. These materials provide corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility. For products with pH outside 2–12, alternative materials like Hastelloy may be required, but this must be confirmed with the manufacturer.
The recommended product temperature range is 5–90 °C. Below 5 °C, viscosity increases and pressure drop rises; above 90 °C, protein denaturation and valve damage may occur. The flow rate range is 10–10000 L/h, depending on the model. Outside these ranges, performance may be inadequate or cause equipment damage.
The directory lists standards such as ASME B31.3 for pressure piping, ASTM A240/A276 for stainless steel, DIN 11851 for connections, IEC 60034 for motors, and ISO 3744 for noise measurement. These are procurement references; actual compliance must be verified with the manufacturer or supplier.
