OVERVIEW
The Branson Pentagonal Ultrasonic Liquid Processor is a production tool designed specifically around the need to process higher volume liquids in a continuous flow environment. It is a five-sided process tube with 6.4" from flat side to opposite apex. The Pentagonal processor assembly uses ultrasonic transducer elements bonded to each of the five sides of the process tube. This design assures uniform ultrasonic activity throughout the volume of the processor. Liquids to be processed are passed through the tube and exposed to a very high intensity ultrasonic field. This methodology can significantly enhance throughput and improve productivity while often improving processed product.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Ultrasonic exposure can be used to enhance a variety of physical and chemical routines used daily in industry. Typical applications for this processor include:
- Degassing
- Disintegration
- Dispersion
- Mixing
- Emulsification
- Extraction
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Pentagonal processor assembly utilizes highly efficient 40 kHz piezoelectric transducers to assure maximum energy in the process tube. The tube is constructed of type 316 stainless steel for compatibility with a broad range of liquids. FDA standards may be met by using a TeflonÒ or ExcelonÒ inner process tube. Multiple processors can be used in series to increase ultrasonic exposure and, therefore, throughput. Stainless steel flanges and gasket systems are available to facilitate multi-head use. Branson Pentagonal processors are driven by our S-8540 ultrasonic generators. These generators are equipped with a number of features which bring flexibility to liquid processing applications. They include line/load power control, amplitude control and several frequency options to optimize processing.
