[0002] In dairy products, fat exists in the form of fat globules. These fat globules are usually quite large and may separate into layers due to gravity during storage, forming a creamy layer. The basic principle of homogenization is to break down large fat particles in the emulsion into smaller fat particles through high pressure, so that the fat is evenly distributed in the emulsion and prevents it from separating in the product. Homogenization is usually carried out using a homogenizer, which sprays the emulsion through small holes under high pressure, breaking down the fat particles and dispersing them into smaller particles in the emulsion.

[0003] In the prior art, the homogenization of dairy products is completed by a homogenizer. When the existing homogenizer stirs and crushes the dairy products, it only stirs and crushes the dairy products by stirring shaft, which is difficult to homogenize the dairy products quickly and effectively.
