[0020] [Example 1] The inventor of this solution found that in the prior art, the flow rate of the high-pressure microfluidizer is small, which is far from meeting the needs of customers in many fields, and lacks the liposome extrusion function, which leads to excessive particles and precipitation in the product, affecting the product quality. The embodiment of the present invention provides the following solution: like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a high-pressure microfluidic homogenization system, including a pneumatic diaphragm pump 101, a first plunger pump 102, a second plunger pump 103, a diamond interactive cavity 104, a heat exchanger 105, and a material storage container 106.

[0021] It should be noted that the material homogenization pipeline is used to homogenize the material, and the flow rate is increased by the coordinated operation of the first plunger pump 102 and the second plunger pump 103. The liposome extrusion pipeline reduces particles and precipitation in the product, thereby meeting the needs of customers in many fields. The CIP cleaning pipeline is used to wash and clean the entire system pipeline after the material is homogenized, and the SIP sterile heating pipeline is used to heat and sterilize the entire system pipeline.
[0022] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, the material homogenization pipeline also includes a feed port 201, a feed container 110, a first valve 301, a second valve 302, a third valve 303, a fourth valve 304, a fifth valve 305 and a discharge port 202.

The third valve 303 is opened, and the material enters the storage container 106.
[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, after the material enters the material storage container 106, the fourth valve 304 is opened to perform material circulation and high-pressure micro-jet homogenization.

[0027] It should be noted that the cooling water enters from the heat exchange cooling inlet 209, and after the twenty-first valve 321 is opened, the cooling water enters the heat exchanger 105, and after the twenty-second valve 322 is opened, the cooling water flows out of the cooling cycle through the heat exchange cooling outlet 210, and finally the twenty-third valve 323 is opened, and the coolant is discharged from the discharge port 203.

The pneumatic flow valve 108 is used to control the flow of the coolant in the above-mentioned heat exchange cooling pipeline. The twenty-seventh valve 327 is opened to supply air to the pneumatic diaphragm pump 101.
[0030] In some embodiments, the output port of the pneumatic diaphragm pump 101 and the input port, output port, and cooling water outlet of the heat exchanger 105 are all equipped with temperature sensors 109, so that their real-time temperatures can be monitored, the temperature control of the entire pipeline can be improved, and the stability of material homogeneity can be increased.

[0032] It should be noted that when the material is circulated and homogenized by high-pressure microfluidization, the sixth valve 306 is opened, and the material is extruded through the liposome extruder 107 to reduce the particles and precipitation after the material is homogenized, and then the eighth valve 308 is opened for circulating liposome extrusion.
[0033] like Figure 6 As shown, after the liposome cyclic extrusion is completed, the third valve 303 is closed, and the material after the liposome extrusion is discharged from the discharge port 202.
[0034] In some embodiments, the system further includes a plunger cooling circuit, which includes a plunger cooling water inlet 205, a nineteenth valve 319, a twentieth valve 320, and a plunger cooling water outlet 206.

[0064] [Example 2] The embodiment of the present invention further provides a high-pressure microfluidic homogenization process method, including the high-pressure microfluidic homogenization system of embodiment 1, the method comprising: Step 401, when the exhaust of the material homogenizing pipeline is completed, the material is fed, the material is circulated and homogenized through the material homogenizing pipeline, the material is heat exchanged through the heat exchange cooling pipeline, the material is liposome extruded through the liposome extrusion pipeline, and the plunger of the plunger pump is cooled through the plunger cooling pipeline.
[0065] It should be noted that when the material is homogenized, the flow rate is increased by the coordinated operation of the first plunger pump 102 and the second plunger pump 103, and the liposome extrusion pipeline reduces particles and precipitation in the product, thereby meeting customer needs in many fields.
[0066] In some embodiments, the output port of the pneumatic diaphragm pump 101 and the input port, output port, and cooling water outlet of the heat exchanger 105 are all equipped with temperature sensors 109, so that their real-time temperatures can be monitored, the temperature control of the entire pipeline can be improved, and the stability of material homogeneity can be increased.
[0067] Step 402, after the material is homogenized, the high-pressure micro-jet homogenization system sequentially cleans through the CIP material homogenization cleaning pipeline, the CIP material circulation homogenization cleaning pipeline, the CIP plunger cleaning pipeline, the CIP plunger jacket cleaning pipeline, and the CIP cavity cleaning pipeline. The water pressure during cleaning is greater than 3 bar, and the cleaning time is 1-10 minutes.
[0068] It should be noted that the overall cleaning times can be set according to the user. For example, the user can choose to clean once or more times, and each cleaning is performed in accordance with the above pipeline sequence.
[0069] In some embodiments, detergent is added to the CIP material circulating homogenization cleaning pipeline for circulating washing, thereby further cleaning the entire pipeline. Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, detergent is added to the storage container 106, and the second valve 302 and the third valve 303 are opened respectively to perform cyclic washing.

[0070] Step 403, the high-pressure microfluidic homogenization system performs pipeline segment preheating through the first SIP preheating pipeline, the second SIP preheating pipeline, and the third SIP preheating pipeline. When the three pipelines are preheated to above 100 degrees Celsius, the three pipelines are simultaneously preheated to 121 degrees Celsius while maintaining pressure. When all pipelines are preheated to above 121 degrees Celsius, they are sterilized by heat preservation for 30 minutes. After the heat preservation and sterilization is completed, the high-pressure microfluidic homogenization system performs pipeline cooling through the first SIP cooling pipeline, the second SIP cooling pipeline, and the third SIP cooling pipeline, and is filled with pressure-maintaining gas.
[0071] It should be noted that in the first SIP preheating pipeline, the pipeline of the pneumatic diaphragm pump 101, the pipeline of the first plunger pump 102 and the second plunger pump 103, and the front pipeline of the diamond interaction chamber 104 are preheated, and the preheating time can be set as needed so that the coldest point in the pipeline is heated to above 100 degrees Celsius. In the second SIP preheating pipeline, the rear section of the diamond interaction chamber 104 is preheated, and the preheating time can be set as needed so that the coldest point in the pipeline is heated to above 100 degrees Celsius. In the third SIP preheating pipeline, the pipeline of the first plunger pump 102 and the second plunger pump 103 are preheated, and the preheating time can be set as needed so that the coldest point in the pipeline is heated to above 100 degrees Celsius. When the coldest point of all pipelines reaches above 121 degrees Celsius, 30 minutes of heat preservation and sterilization are performed. When preheating is completed, the steam is discharged and sterile air is blown in for cooling, and finally nitrogen is filled in to maintain pressure in preparation for the next production.
[0072] In summary, Examples 1-2 of the present invention provide a high-pressure microfluidic homogenization system and process method, which greatly increases the flow rate of the high-pressure microfluidic homogenizer by using a double-plunger pump, and reduces the particles and precipitation in the product by setting a liposome extrusion pipeline, thereby improving the product quality.
