Do You Know What Mechanical Effects The Ultrasonic Mixer Has?
Jul 16, 2023
The ultrasonic mixer is a kind of equipment that applies the ultrasonic extraction technology to the actual production process. Four ultrasonic vibration plate boxes are pasted around the tank. The ultrasonic Mechanical wave emitted by the ultrasonic transducer uniformly acts on the plant cells, causing the cell wall molecules to rearrange, the cell wall to break, the contents to dissolve, and dissolved in organic solvents. The equipment has the advantages of low operating cost, short time, simple and easy operation It has the characteristics of easy maintenance, low impurities, easy separation and purification, high efficiency, low temperature, and wide adaptability.
The main applications of ultrasonic mixer:
1. Extraction of traditional Chinese medicine, fragmentation of cells, bacteria, and viral tissues. For example, the extraction of cell contents.
2. The dispersion and uniformity of material particles, as well as the emulsification of products. For example, the dispersion of nanomaterials (silica, carbon dioxide, carbon nanotubes, Graphene, etc.).
3. Accelerate dissolution, accelerate chemical reactions. For example, used in chemical synthesis.
Mechanical effects of ultrasonic mixer:
1. Mechanical stirring: the high-frequency vibration and radiation pressure of ultrasonic can form effective agitation and flow in gas and liquid. The strong jet and local jet generated by cavitation bubble vibration on the solid surface can significantly reduce the surface tension and friction force of the liquid, and damage the boundary layer of the solid-liquid interface, thus achieving an effect that ordinary low-frequency mechanical agitation cannot achieve. This function is the physical basis for applications such as drug penetration, introduction of beauty products into the skin, ultrasonic degassing, and blending and refining of food and cosmetics.
2. Mutual diffusion: Utilizing the pressure and high-temperature effects of ultrasonic vibration and cavitation, it promotes the mutual penetration of molecules between two liquids, two solids, or liquid-solid, liquid-gas interfaces, forming new material properties. Ultrasonic welding of metals or plastics, such as ultrasonic emulsification, cleaning, and atomization, can be classified as such effects.
3. Homogenization: The local shock wave generated after the closure of cavitation bubbles can crush particles in the liquid and refine them; Unify crystallization; Disperse large and uneven milk droplets into small uniform agents (such as medical contrast agents, cancer drugs, etc.); It has functions such as dissolving blood clots.
4. Coagulation: ultrasonic vibration can make Particulates in gas and liquid medium move at different speeds, increasing the chance of phase collision; Alternatively, standing waves can be used to make them tend towards the antinodes, leading to a condensation process. Flue dust collection and Cloud seeding can belong to this category.
5. Mechanical cutting effect: Due to the high acceleration of ultrasonic vibration and the acoustic corrosion effect of cavitation, it can perform special precision machining on hard and brittle materials (gemstones, ceramics, glass, magnetic steel, etc.).
6. Mechanical crushing effect: the ultrasonic extractor can crush Kidney stone disease and gallstones in the human body without damaging soft tissue by using high intensity ultrasonic pulse.
