UIP500hdT – Lavorazione industriale su piccola scala
The ultrasonic processor UIP500hdT (20kHz, 500W) is an industrial grade device for pilot testing and small scale processing of liquids. Amongst the most common applications of the UIP500hdT are homogenization, dispersing, emulsification, cell disintegration and sonochemical reactions. A full color touch display, browser remote control, automatic data protocoling on an integrated SD-Card as well as temperature and pressure sensors gives you full process control and a high operation comfort.
UIP500hdT Sonicator – Bridging the Gap between Lab and Pilot Scale
The UIP500hdT is a 500 watts powerful probe-type sonicator that operates at an ultrasonic frequency of 20kHz and fulfils all common industrial standards for mixing equipment. Thereby, the UIP500hdT sonicator closes the gap between ultrasonic lab homogenizers and industrial ultrasonicators.
Ultrasonic waves in the frequency range of 20kHz and higher create intense cavitation in liquids. The cavitational effects can be used for manifold applications, such as: emulsifying, dispersing, homogenizing, cell disruption, extraction, deagglomeration, degassing and sonochemical reactions.
The UIP500hdT can be used with a lot of accessories, such as various sonotrodes, boosters, and flow cells. For the processing of batches larger than 5 liters, we generally recommend to sonicate using a flow cell reactor (flow mode) to achieve a higher processing consistency. When used for the sonication of liquids in flow mode, the UIP500hdT can typically process between 0.25 and 2.0L/min. Please note that the actual flow rate will depend on the application. As all our devices, the UIP500hdT can be operated 24 hours per day (24h/7d). Therefore, this setup could process approx. 0.5 to 3m3 per day.
For higher production throughput, we recommend using either of the following devices:
- UIP1000hdT (1000W, 20kHz)
- UIP1500hdT (1500W, 20kHz)
- UIP2000hdT (2000W, 20kHz)
- UIP4000 (4000W, 20kHz)
- UIP10000 (10000W, 20kHz)
- UIP16000 (16000W, 18kHz)
Power Ultrasound with Full Process Control
Power ultrasound is the process solution for various liquid applications, such as
- la emulsione
- la dispersione
- fresatura
- dissoluzione
- Cell Disruption and Lysis
- Extraction of Botanicals
- sicochimica
- produzione di biodiesel
The UIP500hdT delivers intense ultrasonic waves generating strong cavitation. Ultrasonic cavitation and the resulting shear forces fulfill demanding tasks without problems. To guarantee a consistent process quality, not only the actual ultrasound power delivered is essential, instead all important process parameters must be controlled. The new generation of hdT ultrasonic processors enables the user to operate the ultrasonic system 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/USB ComboCard.
Thereby, the new UIP500hdT provides the same ultrasound power as its predecessor UIP500hd, 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.
The UIP500hdT features:
- 500 watts power ultrasound
- built for heavy-duty operation
- runs 24/7
- industrial standard
- color touch display
- Telecomando del browser
- data recording
- ComboCard SD/USB integrata
- Sensore di temperatura
- pressure sensor (optionally available)
- Connessione LAN
- Connessione Ethernet
- nessuna installazione di software
- Sintonizzazione automatica della frequenza
Sonicator with Colour Touch-Screen
Il touch-screen colorato è un'ottima miglioria che rende il dispositivo ancora più facile da usare. Lo schermo sensibile al tocco e allo stilo consente una facile manipolazione e garantisce l'impostazione precisa dei parametri operativi e la visualizzazione della potenza degli ultrasuoni. Il menu di controllo digitale è intuitivo e presenta un menu di impostazioni chiaramente strutturato. L'impostazione dell'ampiezza/potenza e la modalità di pulsazione possono essere regolate da un cursore a sfioramento colorato (con scatti dell'1%, 5% o 10%). L'utente decide se preferisce la visualizzazione dell'ampiezza e della potenza come grafici a barre colorate o come rappresentazione numerica. Il display può essere cambiato dalla modalità di visualizzazione normale alla modalità BIG NUMBER, dove l'elevato contrasto e le grandi dimensioni dei caratteri ne facilitano la leggibilità.
Operate the UIP500hdT via Browser Remote Control
Due to its new LAN web interface, the UIP500hdT 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 UIP500hdT via internet from anywhere in the world – using your smart-phone or tablet as remote control.
Rete integrata
The UIP500hdT 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/USB data card, automatically. A plugable sensor measures the temperature permanently. An optionally available pressure sensor can be additionally plugged to record the pressure.
Sintonizzazione automatica della frequenza
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.
Sonicator with Industrial Grade and Outstanding Efficiency
The UIP500hdT is built for commercial production and fulfills industrial standards. Its robust, durable design has been proven in many commercial installations worldwide where it is used for production and heavy-duty applications. This ultrasonic processor requires only very little maintenance, is easy to install and simple to clean and sanitize. Special flow cell reactors that comply the advanced CIP (clean-in-place) and SIP (sterilize-in-place) requirements are available, too. The transducer of the UIP500hdT is IP64 grade, so that it can be installed in demanding environments. The transducer can handle dirt, dust, moisture, outside operation etc., while the generator can be placed remotely in another area.
I nostri dispositivi a ultrasuoni hanno un'efficienza molto elevata nella conversione dell'energia elettrica in oscillazioni meccaniche del sonotrodo, per cui i trasduttori dei nostri ultrasuoni da banco hanno un involucro chiuso. Non ci sono fessure di ventilazione nell'involucro del trasduttore. Poiché la perdita di energia, che causerebbe un riscaldamento nell'alloggiamento chiuso del trasduttore, è molto bassa, non è necessario un raffreddamento forzato, come aria compressa o acqua. Tuttavia, il fatto più importante è che una maggiore quantità di energia viene convertita in onde ultrasonore nel liquido, con conseguente sonicazione più intensa. L'efficienza energetica complessiva dell'UIP500hdT è di circa l'80-90% dalla presa di corrente al liquido (clicca sull'immagine qui sopra per ingrandire il grafico).
Sonicator with Full Amplitude Control and Outstanding Performance
The UIP500hdT can be run permanently at 500W. La potenza viene trasmessa a un'ampiezza controllata, in modo che lo spostamento delle vibrazioni meccaniche a ultrasuoni sul sonotrodo sia costante in tutte le condizioni di carico (ad esempio, in presenza di pressioni, viscosità e altro variabili). È possibile modificare l'ampiezza dal 20 al 100% sul generatore e montando una delle varie trombe di amplificazione. L'ampiezza scelta viene mantenuta costante, mentre si sonorizza qualsiasi materiale a qualsiasi pressione. In questo modo si ha il pieno controllo del parametro ultrasonoro più importante: l'ampiezza.
