Hielscher Ultrasonics has introduced the UIP1500hd (20kHz, 1,500W) industrial ultrasonic processor, designed for use under difficult conditions and continuous high-power operation.
The UIP1500's transducer meets the IP65 standard.
The ultrasonic processor can be used in research and development and industrial production of smaller volumes.
Typical flow rates are between 0.5 and 6.01/min (or 1 to 8m/day).
It is suitable for the sonication of different materials in many process application, such as for nanomaterials, paint and ink, food, cosmetics and biodiesel production.
The UIP1500hd is commonly used for inline sonication (single pass or loop) in order to obtain better processing quality.
It can also be used for batch sonication.
The UIP1500hd allows for running at a wide range of ultrasonic parameter sets.
Users can vary ultrasonic amplitude, liquid pressure and liquid composition, such as: sonotrode amplitudes of up to 170 micron; liquid pressures of up to 10 bar; liquid flow rates of up to 15 litres/min (depending on the process); liquid temperatures of up to 80C (other temperatures on request); and material viscosity of up to 100,000cp.
The UIP1500hd is said to offer exact reproducibility and linear scalability.
Any sonication setup can be reproduced and can be used at continuous operation or can be scaled up to any larger unit.
Hielscher offers a range of accessories, such as sonotrodes, boosters, flow-cell reactors and sound protection boxes.
The PC-Control (optional software interface) allows for the recording of the individual test runs.
