ISP-3600 ultrasonic processor

Industrial-Scale Processor

The ISP-3600 ultrasonic liquid processor is designed for industrial-scale production. It is suitable for working with liquid volumes above 1 L, with no upper limit.

The ISP-3600 ultrasonic liquid processor comes standard with: 3600 W ultrasonic generator, water-cooled transducer, half-wave booster half-wave Barbell Horn®, flow-through reactor chamber (flow cell), heat exchanger, heavy-duty support stand, spanner wrench set, and noise reduction ear muffs. Optional items include: storage/mixing tank with integrated mixer, sound enclosure, magnetic stirrer with hotplate, peristaltic pump, water chiller, jacketed beaker, NanoStabilizers®, and post-processing filters.
The ISP-3600 processor can be used in batch and flow-through configurations (see schematics on the left). Details are available under the SPECIFICATIONS tab.
The ISP-3600 processor utilizes patented Barbell Horn® Ultrasonic Technology (BHUT), which makes it possible to generate extremely high ultrasonic amplitudes at any scale of operation. With the ISP-3600, any process optimized with our smaller units, the LSP-600 or BSP-1200, can be directly scaled-up to an industrial production environment, while maintaining the same processing conditions and reproducible results. Further scale-up is possible by placing several ISP-3600 processors in parallel and/or in series (see schematics on the left).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Materials of wetted parts:
- Reactor chamber — 316 stainless steel. Food compatible.
- Horns (HBHB, HBH) — Ti6Al4V. Food compatible.
- Gaskets — Buna-N or Teflon. Food compatible.
- O-rings — Buna-N. Food compatible.
Noise level:
- 106 – 109 dBa at 2′ away. Noise reducing earmuffs or sound enclosure required.
Capacity
- 1 L – 10 L — with HBHB (batch mode)
- 2 L – unlimited — with HBHB or HBH + reactor chamber (flow-through mode)
Productivity Rates
- Productivity rates are highly dependent on the nature of each process and range from about 5 L/h for challenging tasks (e.g., top-down nanocrystallization of active pharmaceutical compounds) to over 250 L/h for fast processes (e.g., degassing, deagglomeration).
- 4 – 5 times faster processing than with the BSP-1200
- 20 – 25 times faster processing than with the LSP-600
