High Speed Batch Mixing mat Ultraschall High Shear Forces
Ultrasonic High-Shear Batch-Mëschung representéiert e wesentleche Fortschrëtt iwwer konventionell Technologien wéi Rotor-Statormixer, Jetmixer, an UltraTurrax Systemer, déi eng super Prozesseffizienz a Produktqualitéit ubidden. Wärend traditionell Methoden op mechanesch Schéier vertrauen, benotzen Ultraschallmixer héich-Energie-Schallwellen fir akustesch Kavitatioun ze induzéieren, en eenzegaartegt Mikro-Mëschungsëmfeld ze kreéieren, definéiert duerch extrem lokal Konditiounen. Dëst Phänomen generéiert Schockwellen an Héichgeschwindeg Flëssegjets, déi bis zu 280 m / s erreechen, déi déi intensiv Mikro-Agitatioun déi néideg ass fir d'rapid Befeuchtung vu Puder, direkt Deagglomeratioun vu Sub-Mikronen an Nano-Partikelen, an d'Schafung vu perfekt homogene Emulsiounen.
Beyond these micro-mixing advantages, ultrasonic systems are notably more energy-efficient, handle abrasive materials with ease, and allow for fast, destruction-less cleaning (CIP/SIP), making them the ideal choice for demanding industrial applications.

If your process demands reproducible results, completely linear scale-up from lab to production, and lower energy consumption compared to traditional rotor-stator systems, ultrasonic high-shear batch mixing is engineered to meet your exact specifications.
akustesch Kavitatioun – The Working Principle of Ultrasonic Shear Forces and Mixing
Wann héich energesch Ultraschallwellen a Flëssegkeeten a Schläim gekoppelt sinn, generéieren alternéierend Héichdrock- / Déifdrockzyklen (z. Dës Bubbles wuessen iwwer e puer Zyklen bis se gewalteg zesummeklappen well se net méi Energie absorbéiere kënnen. Wärend der Blasenimplosioun entsteet lokal extrem Bedéngungen: Temperaturen vu bis zu 5.000K, Drock vu bis zu 2.000atm a Flëssegjets vu bis zu 280m/s Geschwindegkeet. Dëst Phänomen gëtt Kavitatioun genannt. Ultraschall Kavitatioun gëtt erfollegräich applizéiert fir vill Vermëschung, Fräsen a Schleifapplikatiounen z'erfëllen, z. fir Kolloiden, Puder, Flëssegkeeten, Ueleger, Fett, Harz, Epoxien, Pigmentpaste, Tënten, Faarwen, Silikonen, Cremes, Gelen, Polymeren, Urethanen a vill méi ze veraarbecht.
Firwat Ultraschall? – Fir voll Prozess Kontroll
Ultrasonic Mëschung erlaabt Iech all wichteg Prozessparameter präzis ze kontrolléieren. Dëst ass entscheedend fir optimal Prozessresultater z'erreechen wärend déi effizientst funktionnéiert.

D'Verschiebung vun den horizontalen Gebidder an der Sonotrode (Ultraschallhorn / Sonde) kann op d'Prozessbedéngungen ugepasst ginn duerch d'Muechtastellung vum Ultraschallapparat, d'Auswiel vun der Sonotrode an duerch d'Benotzung vun engem Boosterhorn.
Den Drock op den Sonikatiounsprozess opdroen wierkt Prozessverstäerkung, a gëtt als Manosonicatioun (MS) bekannt. D'Ultraschallkavitatioun ënner erhöhten Drock gëtt méi intensiv a gewalteg erop. Dofir bitt Hielscher pressurizéierbar zouenen Batchreaktoren.
Als allgemeng Regel, wat méi laang d'Sonicatiounsdauer ass, dest méi Fortschrëtter am Prozess, z.B. vun Gréisst Reduktioun, Dispersioun etc – virausgesat datt genuch Intensitéit applizéiert gëtt fir de Prozessmedium ze beaflossen.
Ultrasonic is a non-thermal, mechanical processing technique. Due to the law of thermodynamics, though, energy coupled into matter will always end up in heat. However, the outstanding energy efficiency of Hielscher sonicators ensure that up to 90% of the energy from the plug will converted into ultrasound waves and are coupled into the process medium.
The viscosity of the process medium is an important factor for ultrasonic processing. For applications such as particle size reduction, milling, and dispersion, the inter-particle collision caused by cavitation shockwaves is one of the main process effects that causes particle breakage, a high particle load is beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ultrasonic High-Shear Batch Mixing
What are the primary applications of ultrasonic high-speed batch mixers?
Ultrasonic high-speed batch mixers are versatile tools used for wetting, hydration, homogenization, grinding, dispersion, emulsification, and dissolving. They are particularly effective for incorporating solids, preparing homogeneous dispersions, deagglomeration, particle size reduction, and rapid blending of solid/liquid and liquid/liquid mixtures.
How does ultrasonic cavitation work in batch mixing?
Ultrasonic cavitation involves coupling high-energy ultrasound waves into liquids, creating alternating high and low-pressure cycles. This generates vacuum bubbles that grow and collapse violently, producing locally extreme conditions such as temperatures up to 5,000K, pressures up to 2,000 atm, and liquid jets reaching 280 m/s. These intense forces facilitate effective mixing, milling, and grinding.
What are the key advantages of Hielscher’s ultrasonic batch mixers?
Key advantages include highly uniform dispersion, the ability to process nano-particles, and the capability to handle abrasive materials and high viscosities (such as pastes and high particle loads). Additionally, these mixers offer time savings of up to 90%, full process control, completely linear scale-up, and full reproducibility.
What types of materials can be processed using ultrasonic batch mixers?
Ultrasonic cavitation is successfully applied to process a wide variety of substances, including colloids, powders, fluids, oils, grease, resins, epoxies, pigment pastes, inks, paints, silicones, creams, gels, polymers, and urethanes.
How is process control achieved during ultrasonic batch mixing?
Process control is achieved by precisely adjusting parameters such as amplitude, pressure (manosonication), sonication duration, temperature, and viscosity. Hielscher’s ultrasonicators are highly energy-efficient, converting approximately 95% of energy into ultrasound waves to ensure optimal results with minimal energy input.
Can ultrasonic batch mixing processes be scaled up from laboratory to industrial production?
Yes, Hielscher offers full process control and completely linear scale-up. This allows results achieved in lab and bench-top scales to be exactly reproduced and scaled up to production size. Additionally, with sonication a transfer from batch to inline processing can be simply and reliably realized.
