Principles of Ultrasonic Processors

Ultrasonic processors are primarily used for applications such as the extraction of traditional Chinese medicine; the disruption of cells, bacteria, and viral tissues; and the dispersion, homogenization, and emulsification of materials. Capable of accelerating dissolution and chemical reactions, they serve as vital pieces of equipment.

Ultrasonic vibration achieves specific objectives by harnessing the cavitation effect within a liquid. Ultrasonic cavitation refers to the phenomenon where intense ultrasonic waves generate a multitude of bubbles in the liquid. These bubbles grow and expand in response to the ultrasonic vibrations before suddenly collapsing and fragmenting. This continuous cycle of expansion and collapse generates high temperatures and pressures, as well as intense localized shock waves. Simultaneously, the rapid influx of liquid into the collapsing bubbles creates localized high-pressure and high-temperature zones, thereby enabling processes such as ultrasonic pulverization and emulsification.
