Ultrasonic Processors
make your own nanoformulations
on any scale
ISM is a research & development, equipment design and process consulting firm, specializing in scalable high-intensity ultrasonic technology. We focus on providing the tools to make nanoemulsions, nanocrystals, and liposomes to the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, medical cannabis, and food & beverage industries. Other target applications include cell disruption, aqueous and solvent-based oil extraction, liquid degassing, nanoparticle deagglomeration, and sonochemistry. Our mission is to enable our clients to optimize these ultrasonic processes and implement them in commercial production.

How to Formulate Cannabis Extract Nanoemulsions with a Long Shelf Life

"We recently purchased a BSP-1200 system from ISM and were very impressed with its performance. The word got out, and one of our customers came to our facility to perform CBD-oil emulsion tests with the system. Though he was initially skeptical, after running the machine for only 1 min he got far better results to what he was able to achieve in over an hour with his conventional ultrasonic processor. He absolutely loved the BSP-1200 and bought it off from us that same day to take to his facility in CA! We have now decided to go straight for ISM's production-scale ISP-3000 processor."
EFFICIENT COOLING OF PIEZOELECTRIC TRANSDUCERS
United States Patent # 9,142,751, September 22, 2015
Alexey S. Peshkovsky, Sergei L. Peshkovsky
Abstract: A sealed piezoelectric transducer having a single, uniform, electrically insulating, heat-conducting layer of a soft, rubbery material filled with a fine, homogeneously-dispersed powder having high thermal conductivity. The material is placed in contact with the surfaces of the transducer and conducts the heat from the surfaces to an external heat sink. Since the thermally conductive powder is fully encapsulated in the rubbery material, its abrasive properties are neutralized.
High ultrasonic amplitudes able to generate intense acoustic cavitation are required for most processes.
Unlike conventional ultrasonic devices, our patented Barbell Horn Ultrasonic Technology (BHUT)-based processors make it possible to produce extremely high ultrasonic amplitudes at any scale, from laboratory to industrial, guaranteeing reproducible results after scale-up.
