Ultrasonic Processor

Ultrasonics is the science of sound waves above the limits of human audibility. The frequency of a sound wave determines its tone or pitch. Low frequencies produce low or bass tones. High frequencies produce high or treble tones. Ultrasound is a sound with a pitch so high that the human ear cannot hear it. Frequencies above 18 Kilohertz are usually considered to be ultrasonic.
OERATING PRINCIPLE----
High frequency vibrations are produced by the velocity horn- generally made out of S.S.316, which is immersed in the liquid to be processed. These vibrations produced millions of microscopic vacuum bubbles. Which form and implode at a high rate. The normal frequency is twenty-two thousand cycles per second. This phenomenon is known as a CAVITATION. Cavitation gives rise to intense local pressure waves & micro streaming of the liquid around the
point of collapses. This in turn leads to high shear gradients that are responsible for the chemical process such as homogenization.
Ultrasonic Processor finds its application in -----------
