Abstract: The invention relates to an improved homogenisation valve, and more particularly, but not exclusively, to a homogenisation valve for use in homogenising emulsion explosives. The homogenisation device comprises a body having a flow passage therethrough, opposing first and second homogenisation members located in the flow passage; the homogenisation members having opposing homogenisation surfaces that form a flow restriction of the flow passage therebetween. At least one of the homogenisation surfaces has a flow resistance being suitable to cause at least part of the flow passing through the flow restriction to be diverged in a non-linear path across the homogenisation surface.
