Choose The Right Homogenizer When Emulsifying Distillate and Terpenes
Raw CBD distillate is extremely viscous and is challenging to work with at ambient temperatures, typically rock hard. Distillates must be heated to about 65° C (149° F) or more to facilitate transference to vape cartridges or other media. Even then, this substance is highly viscous. During the distillation process the terpenes are vaporized off…
Read MoreCannabis Infusions: Homogenizer vs. Overhead Stirrer
Products featuring cannabis infusions should be manufactured using laboratory-grade high shear homogenizers. While overhead stirrers are adequate for many simple laboratory mixing tasks, they are generally not capable of generating the necessary particle size reductions required to produce high-quality cannabis-infused products that consistently feature stated amounts of active ingredients. Uniform particle size reduction, and uniform…
Read MoreInherent Flexibility: Boost Capacity by Making the X1740 an Inline Homogenizer
The X1740 is our highly capable homogenizer, adept at processing up to 20 liters of fluid per batch. In fact, it is our highest-power homogenizer drive. You can already use it with any number of rotor-stator dispersing shaft assemblies, ranging from the diminutive T20 dispersing shaft to the large G40 shaft. From Modest Batch Processing…
Read MoreHomogenizer Generator Shafts: How to Determine Efficiency
Homogenizers from CAT Scientific are extremely efficient. In this video we demonstrate how easy it is to thoroughly homogenize 800 mL of oil — in less than two minutes — using our X1000 Homogenizer with G20 sealed shaft fitted with a normal generator. A less sophisticated mixing method might take up to an hour or…
Read MoreX1740 Homogenizer: How To Insert Shaft into Motor Coupling
Learn how to properly insert the generator shaft into the motor coupling to complete the X1740 Homogenizer from CAT Scientific. Although designed for flexibility and simplicity of use, it helps to review this simple process to avoid any snags.
Read MoreHomogenizer Shafts: How To Properly Install Generators
Review the proper procedure for installing CAT Scientific generators on our homogenizer shafts. This basic operation is relatively simple, but it also requires a bit of finesse. Learn what can go wrong, and how to avoid problems.
Read MoreVideo – The Assembly and Disassembly of the DK 30
In these videos, our expert demonstrates the steps involved in properly assembling — and then disassembling — the DK30 Flow-Through-Chamber with the new G30 shaft. Watch for helpful tips, such as applying a thin layer of food-grade silicone grease to the unit’s two O-rings, so they seat snugly. View the proper sequence of…
Read MoreBe Prepared: Use the Right Tools to Infuse Cannabis Extracts into Products
Preparing CBD extracted from hemp, and other cannabis-related products, typically involves infusing an extract featuring active compounds into a carrier liquid. In the case of popular CBD tinctures, the carrier is often an edible oil, such as olive oil. Like any food-grade oil, olive oil is considerably more viscous than water. Unlike some edible oils,…
Read MoreOur Homogenizer Tools are Interchangeable to Meet Changing Needs
The elegance of CAT Scientific’s laboratory homogenizers derives from their flexibility and supreme utility. No two particle size reduction tasks are exactly the same. Nor do all mixing tasks feature the same challenges. The liquid medium, for instance, often ranges from a simple aqueous solution to a thick, viscous medium, such as an oil or…
Read MoreHow to Disassemble, Clean, and Reassemble the G40 Rotor-Stator Shaft
In this video, we demonstrate the precise steps you’ll need to take after every use of your G40 rotor/stator shaft assembly. Cleaning immediately after every use is crucial to prevent potential cross contamination of subsequent samples or procedures. Given the exceptionally fine stator slots and rotor geometries, fine particles can become lodged in these precision devices.…
