OVERVIEW
Industrial Sonomechanics, LLC, (ISM) offers bench and commercial-scale ultrasonic liquid processors (also known as ultrasonic homogenizers and sonochemical reactors) able to provide very high ultrasonic amplitudes and cavitation intensities. Application examples include: production of nanoemulsions, nanocrystals and wax nanoparticles for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, ink, paint, coating, wood treatment, metalworking, nanocomposite, pesticide, and fuel industries, extraction of oil from algae, production of biofuels, crude oil desulphurization, degassing, cell disruption, polymer and epoxy processing, and more.
ISM's ultrasonic processors are based on Barbell Horn Ultrasonic Technology (BHUT), which makes it possible to implement high-amplitude ultrasound on any scale, form laboratory to industrial, guaranteeing reproducible and predictable results. The processors utilize patented ultrasonic reactor chambers and provide very uniform ultrasonic treatment with no bypass.
HIGH-EFFICIENCY ULTRASONIC LIQUID PROCESSORS
1200 W Processor with Air-Cooled Transducer
1200 W bench-scale ultrasonic processor system is designed for batch and flow-through process investigations and small-scale production. The system operates at the frequency of approximately 20 kHz. Barbell horns used in this system have output tip diameters of up to 35 mm and can provide stable operation at output amplitudes up to 120 microns in aqueous loads at a normal pressure, corresponding to acoustic power intensities up to 80 W/cm2. This gives investigators a wide range of experimental conditions to determine optimal parameters for even the most challenging ultrasonic processes. The system can be used for small-scale production.
2400 W Processor with Air-Cooled Transducer
2400 W industrial-scale ultrasonic processor system is designed for high-volume continuous-mode commercial production. The system operates at the frequency of approximately 20 kHz. Barbell horns used in this system have large output tip diameters (Ø) and provide very high output amplitudes (A) and output power densities (Pd). For example, for FBH-type horns the following combinations are possible (water up to the nodal point, at 1 bar and 25 ºC):
Ø = 50 mm, A = 120 microns, Pd = 80 W/cm2;
Ø = 60 mm, A = 85 microns, Pd = 55 W/cm2;
Ø = 70 mm, A = 60 microns, Pd = 35 W/cm2.
Other types of Barbell horns can be used as well. These amplitudes and power densities are extremely high and are unprecedented for industrial-scale systems, which are commonly restricted to ultrasonic amplitudes below 25 microns and power densities below 10 W/cm2. ISM's Barbell Horn Ultrasonic Technology (BHUT) utilized in this processor makes it possible to implement even the most challenging ultrasonic processes in the commercial environment.
SPECIAL-REQUEST ULTRASONIC LIQUID PROCESSORS
1000 W Processor with Water-Cooled Transducer
1000 W (output power) bench-top water-cooled ultrasonic system is a "special request" unit, designed for batch and flow-through process investigations and small-scale production. The system operates at the frequency of approximately 22 kHz. FBH-type Barbell horns used in this system have output tip diameters up to 35 mm and can provide stable operation at output amplitudes up to 75 microns in aqueous loads at a normal pressure, corresponding to acoustic power intensities up to 50 W/cm2. The system is based on a water-cooled magnetostrictive transducer.
2000 W Processor with Water-Cooled Transducer
2000 W (output power) industrial water-cooled ultrasonic system is a "special request" unit, designed for flow-through or batch production on a commercial scale. The system operates at the frequency of approximately 18 kHz. FBH-type Barbell horns used in this system have output tip diameters of 60 mm, with larger diameters (up to 75 mm) available upon request. These horns can provide stable operation at output amplitudes up to 85 microns in aqueous loads at a normal pressure, corresponding to acoustic power intensities up to 55 W/cm2. The system is able to directly reproduce any laboratory or bench-scale process optimization study in a commercial production environment and is based on a water-cooled magnetostrictive transducer.

1200 W Processor with Air-Cooled Transducer
Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM)’ 1200 W bench-scale ultrasonic processor system is designed for batch and flow-through process investigations and small-scale production. The system operates at the frequency of approximately 20 kHz. Barbell horns used in this system have output tip diameters of up to 35 mm and can provide stable operation at output amplitudes up to 120 microns peak-to-peak (below, microns) in aqueous loads at a normal pressure, corresponding to acoustic power intensities up to 60 W/cm^2. This gives investigators a wide range of possible experimental conditions to determine optimal parameters for even the most challenging ultrasonic processes. When optimal process conditions are established, the same system can be used for small-scale production. The process can also be transferred to commercial scale utilizing ISM’s 2400 W industrial-scale ultrasonic processor system. |
