OVERVIEW
 The Branson WF3-16 Ultrasonic liquid processor is a lab or production tool designed specifically around the need to process flowing liquids in an ultrasonic field. The WF3-16 processor assembly uses ultrasonic transducer elements arrayed radially around the circumference of a 3.0" diameter process tube. Process solution is passed through the tube and exposed to a very high intensity ultrasonic field. This methodology is an improvement over batch processing and generally significantly enhances throughput while improving product uniformity.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Ultrasonic exposure can be used to improve a variety of operations used daily in the process industries. Typical applications for this processor include:
- Degassing
- Disintegration
- Dispersion
- Mixing
- Emulsification
- Extraction
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The WF3-16 processor utilizes highly efficient 40 kHz piezoelectric transducers to assure maximum energy in the process tube. The tube is constructed of Schedule 80, type 316 stainless steel for compatibility with a broad range of liquids. Multiple WF3-16 transducer head assemblies 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 WF3-16 processors are driven by our S8540 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.
