- Emulsification: Produce fine emulsions and nanoemulsions with controlled energy input.
- Dispersing and deagglomeration: Break agglomerates and distribute particles, pigments or nanomaterials uniformly.
- Wet milling and particle size reduction: Apply intense shear forces for micronization and fine milling.
- Extraction and cell disruption: Intensify mass transfer for botanical, algae, microbial and food extraction processes.
- Olive oil malaxation: Support efficient extraction in extra virgin olive oil production.
- Sonochemistry: Promote sono-synthesis, sono-catalysis and other cavitation-driven reactions.
6000 Watts Ultrasound Power for Industrial Processing
The UIP6000hdT is built for demanding industrial applications where strong cavitation intensity, high energy input and continuous processing reliability are required. Its robust design makes it suitable for production environments exposed to dust, dirt, temperature variation and humidity.
The system does not require additional cooling media such as water or compressed air. Titanium and stainless steel components support reliable operation, while the oscillation-free flange simplifies integration into machines, process skids and production lines.
With its compact footprint and movable cabinet on wheels, the UIP6000hdT can be installed in production areas with limited space. The modular concept keeps the generator and transducer separate and connected by cables. This self-contained design reduces installation, operation and maintenance effort. Multiple UIP6000hdT modules can be combined to build higher-capacity ultrasonic clusters.

6 kW Power Ultrasound – Processing Capacity and Flow Rates
Throughput depends on viscosity, solids content, target particle or droplet size, extraction target, temperature, pressure, flow-cell geometry and required ultrasonic energy input. The values below are indicative starting points for equipment sizing.
| Process | Typical Flow Rate with UIP6000hdT |
|---|---|
| Biodiesel transesterification | 1.5 to 4 m³/h |
| Emulsification, e.g. oil/water | 0.5 to 2.5 m³/h |
| Cell extraction, e.g. algae | 0.15 to 1 m³/h |
| Dispersing / deagglomeration | 0.025 to 0.5 m³/h |
| Wet milling and grinding | 0.01 to 0.025 m³/h |
For most industrial installations, the flow cell and ultrasonic transducer are installed in a double-walled stainless steel cabinet with effective sound insulation. If required, the UIP6000hdT can also be configured for custom reactors and process-specific flow-cell geometries. Like other Hielscher industrial ultrasonic systems, the UIP6000hdT is designed for continuous operation at full power output.

Industrial Precison Control, Data Logging and Process Reliability
The UIP6000hdT is part of Hielscher’s industrial hdT series and combines high ultrasonic output with digital control and automatic process documentation. Hielscher industrial sonicators can deliver very high amplitudes. Amplitudes of up to 200 µm can be run continuously in 24/7 operation. Customized ultrasonic sonotrodes are available for processes that require even higher amplitudes or specialized geometries.
Full Color Touchscreen
The color touchscreen simplifies operation and parameter adjustment. Operators can set amplitude, power and pulse mode using an intuitive menu and a color touch-slider with 1%, 5% or 10% snap increments. Process values can be shown as bar graphs or numerical values. The BIG NUMBER display mode improves visibility with high contrast and large fonts.
Browser Remote Control
The UIP6000hdT can be controlled via a standard web browser using the LAN web interface. No software installation is required. The ultrasonic device acts as a DHCP server/client and requests or assigns an IP address automatically. The system can be operated directly from a PC or Mac, through a network switch or router, or with an optional pre-configured wireless router from smartphones and tablets.
Built-In Network and Data Recording
The LAN interface supports flexible operation and integration into production environments. Process data are recorded automatically to the SD/USB data card. Recorded values include power, amplitude, sonication time, temperature and pressure, allowing better process comparability, documentation and reproducibility. A pluggable temperature sensor is included; an optional pressure sensor can be connected when pressure monitoring is required.
Automatic Frequency Tuning
Like all Hielscher ultrasonic devices, the UIP6000hdT includes intelligent automatic frequency tuning. When the system is switched on, the generator detects the optimal operating frequency and drives the transducer at that frequency. This improves energy efficiency, stability and reliability. The frequency tuning is performed automatically within a fraction of a second.
FAQ: UIP6000hdT Industrial Sonicator
What is the UIP6000hdT used for?
The UIP6000hdT is used for industrial ultrasonic homogenization, emulsification, dispersing, deagglomeration, wet milling, extraction, dissolving, malaxation and sonochemical reactions. It is suitable for liquids, slurries and pastes that require high ultrasonic energy input.
Is the UIP6000hdT suitable for continuous production?
Yes. The UIP6000hdT is designed for heavy-duty 24/7 operation and can be used in batch, recirculation or continuous inline flow-through configurations.
What flow rate can the UIP6000hdT process?
Flow rate depends on the application, viscosity, solids content, target particle or droplet size and required ultrasonic energy input. Indicative flow rates range from approximately 1.5 to 4 m³/h for biodiesel transesterification and 0.5 to 2.5 m³/h for emulsification. More energy-intensive processes such as wet milling typically require lower flow rates.
Can the UIP6000hdT be integrated into industrial production lines?
Yes. The modular design, separate generator and transducer, LAN control, flow-cell options and stainless steel cabinet make the UIP6000hdT suitable for integration into machines, skids and production lines.
How does the UIP6000hdT support process documentation?
The digital generator records process parameters such as amplitude, power, sonication time, temperature and pressure to SD/USB storage. This supports process comparison, scale-up, quality control and reproducible production.
When should I choose the UIP6000hdT instead of the UIP4000hdT?
Choose the UIP6000hdT when your process requires higher ultrasonic power, higher throughput or more cavitation intensity than a 4 kW system can provide. For moderate industrial production, the UIP4000hdT may be sufficient; for very large production capacities, multiple UIP6000hdT units or larger systems can be configured.
