The UIP1000hdT (1000W, 20kHz) is a powerful and adaptable probe-type sonicator for lab testing and industrial processing of liquids. It is used for applications, such as emulsification, dispersing, particle fine milling, lysis, extraction, dissolving and sonochemical reactions. Color touch display, browser remote control, automatic data recording, integrated SD Card and pluggable temperature and pressure sensors allow for precise process control and operation comfort.

Sonicator UIP1000hdT – From Bench-top to Production

The UIP1000hdT is the powerful link between laboratory testing and the industrial processing of liquids. It combines the flexibility and easy handling required in the research and development with an outstanding performance in heavy-duty operation. For this reason, this single device is used for lab scale feasibility testing, process optimization, and process demonstration for ultrasonic liquid processes.

Versatile Sonicator to Fulfill R&D Needs

Since the probe-type sonicator UIP1000hdT is very flexible and adaptable, this ultrasonicator is used in many R&D facilities and universities all around the world. The flexibility of the UIP1000hdT results from an extensive list of manifold accessories, such as sonotrodes, boosters and flow cells. In combination with a sonotrode and the stand, you can sonicate sample beakers (click to enlarge picture) to test various liquid formulations for their response to sonication. For the processing of batches larger than 5 liters, we generally recommend to sonicate using a flow cell reactor (flow mode) in order to obtain a better processing quality. When used with a flow cell (right picture) you can run larger samples in recirculation to establish the correlation between parameters, such as amplitude, pressure and liquid composition, and the process results and efficiency. When used for the sonication of liquids in flow mode, the UIP1000hdT can typically process between 0.5 and 4.0L/min (The actual rate will depend on your process). Of course, the UIP1000hdT fulfils the standards of industrial grade and can be operated 24 hours per day (24h/7d). A UIP1000hdT can typically process approx. 1 to 5m³ per day. For higher production throughput, we recommend using either multiple units or one of the larger ultrasonic devices:

• UIP1500hdT (1500W, 20kHz)
• UIP2000hdT (2000W, 20kHz)
• UIP4000hdT (4000W, 20kHz)
• UIP10000 (10000W, 20kHz)
• UIP16000 (16000W, 18kHz)

High-Power Ultrasound with Full Process Control

Powerful sonication is the process solution for manifold liquid processing applications, such as

• Emulsifying
• Dispersing
• Milling
• Dissolving
• Cell Disruption and Lysis
• Extraction of Botanicals
• Sonochemistry
• Biodiesel production

The UIP1000hdT provides intense ultrasound waves to fulfill demanding tasks without problems. To ensure a consistent process quality, not only the power delivered is essential, the control and monitoring of all important process parameters is key. The new generation of hdT ultrasonicators enables the operator to pilot the ultrasonic device via touch display or browser remote control. All relevant process parameters – such as amplitude, sonication time, temperature and pressure – are automatically recorded and saved as CSV file on the integrated SD Card.

Thereby, the new UIP1000hdT provides the same ultrasound power as the predecessor UIP1000hd, but excels with a broad range of additional features, which makes the ultrasound process much more user-friendly. From the operational view, the precise control of all ultrasonic process parameters are absolute key functions.

Full Colour Touch-Screen

The colored touch-screen is a great enhancement making the device even more user-friendly. The touch- and stylus-sensitive screen allows for easy handling and guarantee the accurate setting of operating parameters and the display of the ultrasound power setting. The digital control menu is intuitive to use and features a clearly structured settings menu. The amplitude/ power setting and the pulse mode can be adjusted by a colored touch-slider (with 1%, 5% or 10% snap). The user decides, if he prefers the display of amplitude and power as colored bargraphs or numerical representation. The display can be changed from regular view mode into BIG NUMBER mode, where a high contrast and big font-size ease its readability.

Operate your Sonicator via Browser Remote Control

Due to its new LAN web interface, the UIP1000hdT can be controlled using any common browser, such as Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Mozilla, mobile IE/Safari. The LAN connection is a simple plug-n-play setup that requires no software installation. The ultrasonic device acts as DHCP server/client and requests or assigns an IP automatically. The device can be operated directly from the PC/MAC or using a switch or router. Using an optional pre-configured wireless router, the device can be controlled from most smartphones or tablet computers, e.g. the Apple iPad. Using the port-forwarding of a connected router, you could control your UIP1000hdT via internet from anywhere in the world – using your smart-phone or tablet as remote control.

Built-In Network

The UIP1000hdT can be operated and controlled via LAN (local area network, see right box) which facilitates the operation and allows for high processing flexibility. All information of the sonication process is recorded on SD data card, automatically. A plugable sensor measures the temperature permanently. An optionally available pressure sensor can be additionally plugged to record the pressure.

Automatic Frequency Tuning for Optimum Efficiency

All Hielscher ultrasonic devices are equipped with an intelligent automatic frequency tuning. When the device is switched on, the generator will sense the optimal operational frequency and ensures that the device operates at this frequency. The automatic frequency tuning improves the overall energy efficiency and reliability of our ultrasonic devices.

UIP1000hdT – 1kW Sonicator with Industrial Grade and Outstanding Efficiency

The UIP1000hd is designed and built for commercial production. It proves its solid, durable design in more than thousand commercial installations worldwide where it is being used in everyday production. This ultrasonic processor requires little maintenance, is easy to setup and simple to clean and to sanitize. Special flow cell reactors meeting the advanced CIP (clean-in-place) and SIP (sterilize-in-place) requirements are available, too. The transducer of the UIP1000hdT is IP64 grade, so that it can be installed in demanding environments (dirt, dust, moisture, outside operation etc.), while the generator can be placed remotely in another area.
Since Hielscher sonicators have a very high efficiency in the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical oscillations of the sonotrode, our transducer can be built into closed housings. There are no louvers in the transducer case. As the energy loss, which would cause a heat-up in the closed transducer housing is very low, no forced cooling, such as compressed air or water is needed. More important this means, that more energy is transmitted into the liquid, resulting in a better sonication. The overall energy efficiency of the UIP1000hdT is approx. 80-90% from the power plug into the liquid (click at the image above to enlarge the chart).

UIP1000hdT – Sonicator with Full Amplitude Control and High Performance

The UIP1000hdT can be run at 1000W continuously. The power is transmitted at a controlled amplitude, so that the magnitude of the mechanical ultrasonic vibrations at the sonotrode is constant under all load conditions. You can change the amplitude from 20 to 100% at the generator and by using various booster horns. The chosen amplitude is being held constant, while sonicating any material at any pressure. This feature gives you full control over the most important sonication parameter: the Amplitude.
