High-shear ultrasonicators for inline mixing processes offer various advantages when compared to conventional colloid homogenizers. Using high-power ultrasound for mixing enables Hielscher ultrasonic high-shear mixers to produce uniformly dispersed colloidal suspensions and emulsions in the nano-range. Ultrasonic inline homogenizers can process any volume and viscosity and can even handle very abrasive particles.
High-Shear In-Line Mixing with Power Ultrasound
Inline homogenization of solid-liquid or liquid-liquid suspensions is a necessary application in the production of manifold materials and goods. Ultrasonic high-shear inline mixers are used in many industries including the manufacturing of paints, pigments & inks, polymers & composites, fuels, foods & beverages, nutritional supplements, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics & personal care amongst others. Ultrasonic high-shear inline homogenizers are used for mixing, dispersing, deagglomerating, emulsifying, wetting, dissolving and micro-grinding of particles. A particular strength of ultrasonic high-shear inline mixers is the capability of reliable processing of nano-materials (e.g. nano-dispersions, nano-emulsions).
Ultrasonic high-shear inline mixers handle high volumes, high solid concentrations and abrasive particles.
How Does Ultrasonic High-Shear Mixing Work?
Ultrasonic high-shear mixing and homogenization is based on the working principle of acoustic cavitation. When liquids are sonicated at high intensities, the ultrasound waves propagate through the liquid medium and result in alternating high-pressure (compression) and low-pressure (rarefaction) cycles. High power ultrasonicators operate at a frequency of around. 20kHz. This means 20,000 vibrations per second. During the low-pressure cycle, high-intensity ultrasound waves create small vacuum bubbles in the liquid. When the cavitation bubble attains a size at which its cannot absorb any further energy, it collapses violently during a high-pressure cycle. This phenomenon of bubble implosion is known under the technical term “cavitation”. During the implosion very high temperatures (approx. 5,000K) and pressures (approx. 2,000atm) are reached locally. The implosion of the cavitation bubble also generates liquid jets of up to 280m/s velocity. (cf. Suslick 1998)
These highly intensive and disruptive forces provide sufficient energy to mill, deagglomerate and disperse particles in fluids and turn ultrasonic high-shear mixers into the processing technology par excellence. Therefore, they are used as fabrication and processing technique, especially in sectors where nanotechnology and nano-materials play a crucial role for performance and product quality.
Superior Process and Energy Efficiency with Ultrasonic Mixers
Hielscher ultrasonic processors have an outstanding energy efficiency of >85%. This reduces operational electricity costs and results in higher processing performance. Kusters et al. (1994) resume in their study that ultrasonic fragmentation is equally efficient as conventional grinding.
By applying pressure and optimizing the ultrasonic process, the ultrasonic mixing technology often excels conventional mixing methods such as rotary blade mixers, high-pressure homognenizers or ball mills by far.
In another study, Pohl et al. (2004) compared the processing efficiency of ultrasonic dispersion of silica with other high-shear mixing methods, such as with an IKA Ultra-Turrax (rotor-stator-system). Pohl et al. compared the particle size reduction of Aerosil 90 (2%wt) in water using an Ultra-Turrax (rotor-stator-system) at various settings with that of a Hielscher ultrasonic high-shear mixer UIP1000hd with flow cell in continuous mode. The study of Pohl et al. concludes, that “at constant specific energy EV ultrasound is more effective than the rotor-stator-system” and that “the applied ultrasound frequency in the range from 20 kHz up to 30 kHz has no major effect on the dispersion process.”
