Ultrasonic Process Laboratory

The effect of ultrasonication on various materials can be tested easily. Hielscher Ultrasonics offers its laboratory equipped with ultrasonic devices, process accessories and analytic equipment.

If you would like to expose a certain material to ultrasonication and analyze the result, you can either buy an ultrasonic device for your laboratory, or you can use our process lab. At our plant in Teltow, Germany, we offer you a laboratory equipped with a full range of devices for the testing and optimization of various ultrasonic processes. This includes all our ultrasonic laboratory devices and industrial devices, pumps, tanks, controls, and analytic equipment. Of course, our lab is equipped with accurate scales, centrifuge, glassware and solvents as well as goggles and gloves, lab coats. Our well experienced lab manager can assist in the process trials and in the analysis.

Ultrasonication

In our process lab, we offer devices for the sonication of liquid volumes from 0.1mL to approx, 1000 liters per hour. Equipment for inline refrigeration or heating of the process material is available to control the sonication temperature. The sonication pressure can be increased to approx. 30 bar. Our pumps can handle high viscosity, high solids concentration materials at adjustable flow rates.

Analysis

For the analysis of the process results, a microscope with digital CCD camera and PC-interface can be used for the visual inspection of particles larger than 2 micron.

For particles in the range from 0.024 to 2800 micron, the Microtrac S3500 measures the particle size and distribution accurately. The Microtrac S3500 employs the patented Tri-laser technology to provide accurate, reliable particle size information. Even in the sub-micron range, measurements are made without typical sample-to-sample variation evident in many other systems. By increasing the number of light sources, the unique Tri-laser technology makes more effective use of photo-detection devices, while maintaining maximum stability and alignment of the optical system. Microtrac S3500 complies with or exceeds ISO 13320-1 Particle Size Analysis- Laser Diffraction Methods. More information about the S3500 can be found at the Microtrac web site.
