Aug 03, 2021

The emulsification ability of ultrasonic emulsification equipment in the laboratory has been well known and used for a long time. In fact, it also has many applications in life, which provides some guarantees for our beautiful life.


Industrial field

In the pharmaceutical industry, the ultrasonic emulsification technology of emulsion medicine and daily necessities industry is used to manufacture cosmetics and leather shoe polish. Ultrasonic emulsification can also be used to make emulsified combustion products of oil (gasoline, diesel, etc.) and water or pulverized coal to improve the combustion value of unit fuel. This technology has been promoted and used in a limited range, and the economic benefits are obvious.


Medical field

In the treatment of cataract, a phacoemulsification device is used. Through a 3-5mm corneal or scleral incision, the lens nucleus is crushed by ultrasound to make it chylous, and then sucked out together with the cortex. After the operation, the posterior capsule of the lens is preserved, and a posterior chamber intraocular lens can be implanted at the same time. Compared with traditional cataract surgery, phacoemulsification has better surgical results and has become the most advanced and reliable cataract treatment method currently recognized.


Food field

Ultrasonic emulsification is one of the earliest technologies in which ultrasonic waves are used in food processing. For example, soft drinks, ketchup, mayonnaise, jam, artificial milk, baby food, chocolate, salad oil, oil-sugar water and other mixed foods used in the food industry have been tested and used at home and abroad, and have improved The effect of product quality and production efficiency, and water-based carotene emulsification has been successfully tested and used in production.
