USED NIRO NS3037-H

Manufacturer Information
Niro Soavi / GEA
Niro Soavi, now associated with GEA, is a recognized manufacturer of high-pressure homogenizers used in food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemical, and specialty processing applications. High-pressure homogenization is commonly used for particle and droplet size reduction, emulsification, dispersion, product stabilization, and improving product consistency.
This Niro Soavi NS3037-H system was rebuilt by GEA in 2022 and includes a separate feed skid with an Alfa Laval positive displacement pump, bubble trap, heat exchanger, and control panels.
Description
Available for sale is a used Niro Soavi Model NS3037-H high-pressure homogenizer featuring 2507 stainless steel construction and a broad operating range for demanding homogenization and emulsification applications.
The homogenizer has reported capacities ranging from approximately 3,170 gallons per hour at 1,500 PSI to approximately 211 gallons per hour at 22,000 PSI, providing substantial flexibility between high-throughput and ultra-high-pressure processing applications.
Power is provided by a 40 HP, 3-phase, 60 Hz, 230/460V motor operating at 1,190 RPM.
The package includes a mobile feed skid equipped with an Alfa Laval GHPD positive displacement pump, Model SRU-4NLS, powered by a 5 HP gear motor. Additional equipment includes an L.J. Star bubble trap, an Allegheny Bradford shell-and-tube heat exchanger, and two control panels.
The heat exchanger is rated at 150 PSI from -20°F to 350°F on both the shell and tube sides. Both the homogenizer and feed skid are mounted on casters, providing flexibility for positioning within a processing facility.
Originally built in 1993, the homogenizer was rebuilt by GEA in 2022, making this a particularly attractive system for processors seeking a high-pressure homogenizer with supporting feed and thermal-processing equipment.
