Ultrasonic Homogenizer

As industrial production and daily life continue to evolve, industries across the board are demanding higher standards for raw materials, production processes, and final products. Consequently, ultrasonic liquid processing technology is finding increasingly widespread application. This technology encompasses processes such as homogenization, dispersion, extraction, emulsification, mixing, and surface spraying of liquid materials.

Ultrasonic liquid processing relies primarily on the phenomenon of acoustic cavitation. An ultrasonic probe vibrates 20,000 times per second, creating alternating cycles of high and low pressure within the liquid. During the low-pressure phase, tensile forces pull the liquid apart to form countless micro-bubbles, which grow under the influence of continuous sound waves. Upon reaching the high-pressure phase, these bubbles become unstable and undergo instantaneous collapse (implosion). This collapse generates powerful micro-jets, shockwaves, and shear forces. The explosive energy released by this cavitation facilitates processes such as dispersion, homogenization, extraction, and emulsification.

Ultrasonic emulsifiers, meanwhile, are predominantly used in the food, beverage, and cosmetics industries. Ultrasonic emulsification ensures the thorough blending of oil and water phases in products such as lotions, creams, serums, sunscreens, and liquid foundations; this results in stable emulsions resistant to separation, fine particle sizes, and excellent absorption, while preventing an unnatural "white cast" and ensuring a smooth, natural finish.

In the beverage industry, emulsification facilitates the refinement of fat and protein particles, thereby enhancing both mouthfeel and absorption rates.

Ultrasonic extraction equipment can accelerate the extraction process for traditional Chinese medicinal herbs by at least 200-fold; furthermore, it enables extraction at low temperatures using eco-friendly solvents like water or ethanol, thereby better preserving the active ingredients and therapeutic efficacy of the medicinal materials.
