Compact Structure Low Power Ultrasonic Processor

Further Details

The Ultrasonic generator is of solid-state version, the latest card type is compact, lightweight, high efficient found to be most suitable for cell disruption. The transducer, consisting of piezoelectric crystals, converts the electrical output of the generator into mechanical vibrations at the same frequency (20 KHz). This energy from the transducer concentrated and intensified by a stainless steel step horn is passed at the tip. The energy radiates from the tip to the material being treated.

Acoustic energy irradiated from probe tip forces the fluid to extremely high pressures and is responsible for the physical phenomenon called cavitation. Cavitation is caused for the sudden formation and collapse of high-pressure bubbles within the fluid. Extremely high pressures, temperature variations and shock waves are involved in the process.
