Micro and nano sizer
Rhino homogenizers and radial colliders
GEA Rhino High-pressure Homogenizers and Radial Colliders with Zero-Gasket execution option are for heavy duty industrial applications requiring high abrasion, adhesion and solvent resistance coming from challenging products (eg. Carbon, Cellulose, Industrial Bio cell disruption)
Whether dealing with abrasive or adhesive products or strong solvents and concentrations, GEA Rhino is equipped to handle pressures up to 2000 bar, setting a benchmark in the industry.
GEA Rhino is offered as both high-pressure homogenizer and high-pressure radial collider. The design includes option to eliminate all elastomeric and plastic seals including dynamic plunger seals that are typically sensitive to high pulsating pressure, solvents, and temperatures, thus enhancing operational reliability, reducing production downtime and maintenance frequency.
GEA Rhino is designed for heavy duty applications in the chemical industry, including products like conducting carbon (carbon black, graphite, graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNT)) slurry for battery production, Cellulose slurry for Nano Fibrillation, Industrial Bio cell disruption for biodegradable plastic production.
Main features and benefits
Zero-Gasket - No elastomeric or plastic gaskets (including dynamic plunger seals)
- More resistant to pressure, solvents, and abrasive and adhesive products
- Less frequent maintenance
- Less down time
- Lower TCO
All metallic or Sintered seals
- Elimination of seal extrusion, damage and failures caused by inherent pulsating pressure and cavitation (when occurring)
Truly aligned plunger with its seals system allows use of novel metal and advanced sintered material, without elastomers or plastic.
Open drive end
- Easier maintenance
- No need for ventilation and cooling of drive compartment
- More compact and easier to fix to foundation if needed
Modular Lightweight Piped discharge manifold
- No need for lifting heavy parts for maintenance of suction and discharge pump check valves and valve seats
Feed system with Air operated double diaphragm pump (AODDP) and one dampening equalizer for each plunger
- High abrasion, adhesion, and chemical resistant feed system
- All flow pulsations are balanced, and high frequency (10~15/s) flow variations are compensated

GEA Insights
The next era of food production with GEA NEXUS
Climate change and a growing world population put increased pressure on the energy-intensive food industry to feed more people without further impacting the planet. George Shepherd, GEA’s Global Technical Sustainability Manager, explains how GEA uses its engineering know-how to help processors produce more sustainably yet increase productivity.
Making milk production more sustainable for a growing world
The world's population is growing and with it demand for milk. Dairy is an essential component of many global diets. However, its production can be resource-intensive and impact the environment. GEA’s Christian Müller, Senior Director Sustainability Farm Technologies, sheds light on how technological innovations powered by GEA make milk production more efficient and profitable.
Clean machines safe food: The power of hygienic design
Every safe beverage and bite of food is a victory against invisible microbial threats – a battle shaped by a century of hygienic process design. With more than 100 years of engineering and hygienic design know-how, GEA sets the industry standard for processing equipment that protects food and saves lives.
