Hielscher - Ultrasound Technology

The ultrasonic processor UP400S (400 watts, 24kHz) is our most powerful laboratory device. With sonotrodes of a diameter range from 3 to 40mm the device is suited for sample volumes from 5 to 2000ml. In flow approx. 10 to 50 liters per hour can be treated. For example, it is used for liquid treatment methods, such as homogenizing, dispersing, extracting and degassing, or for the breaking-down of cells. For the preparation of test portions the UP400S is mainly used for bigger volumes. It is suited for the practical process development in the laboratory but also in the college of technology as well as for the production of small quantities.

For production quantities a PC-control or a connecting lead to a central control of the user’s plant is recommended in order to raise the process safety. With special flow cells and flange connections liquids can also be sonicated at high temperatures and pressures.

High power generates the intensive cavitation required, but this results in unwanted noise. For operating the UP400S we recommend to use the sound protection box.

Several accessories are available for the UP400S. Below, you will find its technical specifications.
