How ISM's Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) Systems Work
-
A biomass–solvent slurry is circulated through an ultrasonic processing chamber containing a high-amplitude Barbell Horn®.
-
Patented Barbell Horn® Ultrasonic Technology (see below) maintains high ultrasonic amplitudes from laboratory through industrial scale, enabling direct process scale-up.
-
The Barbell Horn® generates intense acoustic cavitation and powerful microscopic solvent jets throughout the passing slurry.
-
Microjets disrupt and penetrate cellular structures, rapidly releasing bioactive compounds into the solvent.
-
Repeated circulation through the ultrasonic zone provides uniform treatment and enables the extraction process to continue until the desired endpoint is reached.
-
Precise temperature control supports the extraction of heat-sensitive compounds.
-
Sealed, water-cooled transducers enable continuous 24/7 operation and support processing with flammable organic solvents.
TRUSTED BY LEADING COMPANIES AND RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS
The effectiveness of an ultrasonic extractor is largely determined by its acoustic horn—the component that transmits high-amplitude vibrations into the biomass–solvent slurry.
Conventional Horns Have Scale-Up Limitations
Conventional horns are able to produce high vibration amplitudes only when their output tip diameters are small. Ultrasonic extractors based on these devices are, therefore, appropriate only for small-scale laboratory use but not for commercial production.
Barbell Horns®: The Right Way to Scale-Up
Barbell Horns®, developed and patented by Industrial Sonomechanics, can produce extremely high vibration amplitudes in liquids while having large output tip diameters. This enables ISM ultrasonic extractors to reproduce high-intensity processing conditions from laboratory development through industrial production.
