Hielscher has introduced the UIP1000-Exd, a 1.0kW ultrasonic mixer for the ultrasonication of flammable liquids.
It is used for applications such as emulsifying, dispersing and particle fine milling, or homogenising.
The Atex and FM-certified UIP1000-Exd is manufactured for ultrasonic processing applications in hazardous areas.
The UIP1000-Exd is a turnkey ultrasonication system for process research and development or industrial processing.
The transducer, and the flow cell are constructed in stainless steel.
The sonotrode is made of titanium.
Due to its explosion-proof construction it can be used for the efficient inline mixing and dispersing of solvents, for example, in the production of biodiesel, or for the dispersing of solvent-based paints or inks.
The flow cell geometry can easily be adapted to the process requirements in terms of pipe/hose connections, internal volume or sonotrode size.
The flow cell is pressurisable to up to 5.9 bar/g (100psi/g) in order to work at higher cavitation intensities.
The flow cell is jacketed for temperature control during ultrasonication and is located inside a stainless steel noise-insulating chamber.
Typical processing capacities of the UIP1000-Exd range from 1 to 5m (220 to 1100 gallon) per day.
The UIP1000-Exd is designed to require very little space.
The complete ultrasonic system is 1.7m (67in) high and the footprint is approximately 0.25m (2.7ft/2).
The operational ultrasonic unit weighs 110kg (243lbs).
The UIP1000-Exd is available for 115V~ or 230V~ (single phase).
