Bench-Scale Processor
The BSP-1200 ultrasonic liquid processor is designed for procedure optimization and medium-scale production. It is capable of continuous 24/7 operation and can handle unlimited liquid volumes.
- The BSP-1200 ultrasonic liquid processor comes standard with: 1200 W ultrasonic generator, water-cooled transducer, half-wave Barbell Horn®, flow-through reactor chamber (flow cell), heavy-duty support stand, spanner wrench set, and noise reduction ear muffs. Optional items include: full-wave Barbell Horn®, storage/mixing tank with integrated mixer, peristaltic pump, water chiller, magnetic stirrer with hotplate, jacketed beaker, NanoStabilizers®, and filters.
- The BSP-1200 processor can be used in batch and flow-through configurations (see schematics on the left). Details are available under the SPECIFICATIONS tab.
- The BSP-1200 processor utilizes patented Barbell Horn® Ultrasonic Technology (BHUT), which makes it possible to generate extremely high ultrasonic amplitudes at any scale of operation. By upgrading to our larger BHUT-based unit, the ISP-3000, any process optimized with the BSP-1200 can be directly scaled-up to an industrial production environment, while maintaining the same processing conditions and reproducible results.

- Productivity rates
- Productivity rates are highly dependent on the nature of each process and range from about 1 L/h for challenging tasks (e.g., top-down nanocrystallization of active pharmaceutical compounds) to over 50 L/h for fast processes (e.g., degassing, deagglomeration).
- 5 times faster processing than with the LSP-600
