Regardless of which type of generator probe is being used, the follow-
ing factors can affect processing efficiency:
• Size and Type of Material Being Processed:
Solid particles, in any dimension, should be no more than half the
diameter of the rotor-stator generator probe for optimal process-
ing. This is extremely important when using the Omni Tip™ dis-
posable generator probes. Stainless steel generator probes with
extended blades and/or wide windows are available for processing
large, solid samples.
• Processing
Speed:
Omni Tip Homogenizing Kits include a handheld Omni TH
Homogenizer with motor speeds up to 35,000rpm. Operating at
the top speed enhances processing efficiency of the generator
probes (both plastic and stainless steel) supplied with the Omni
Tip™ Kits.
• Container Geometry and Size:
Round vessels encourage swirling. Fluted or cornered vessels
disrupt flow patterns, allowing for more effective mixing/process-
ing.
Should further information or assistance be required for using Omni
Tip™ Homogenizing Kits, please contact Omni International, Inc.
