FAQ

Ultrasonic technology works by generating high-frequency sound waves (typically above 20 kHz) using a device called a transducer. These sound waves travel through a medium (like air, water, or solid materials) and reflect when they hit an object. The returning echoes are then analyzed to measure distance, detect flaws, or create images, depending on the application.

Ultrasonic technology is very important across many industries due to its non-invasive, precise, and efficient capabilities.

The frequency of an ultrasonic machine typically ranges from 20 kHz to 40 kHz, depending on its application.

Works on various materials – Can be used on metals, plastics, liquids, and more. No damage to the object – Suitable for delicate or valuable components.

Liquid sonication is a process that uses ultrasonic waves to agitate particles in a liquid. It’s often used to mix, disperse, or break down substances at the microscopic level. The high-frequency sound waves create rapid pressure changes, forming small bubbles that collapse violently (a process called cavitation). This releases energy that helps break apart particles, clean surfaces, or accelerate chemical reactions.

Liquid sonication is commonly used in:

❑ Nanomaterial dispersion

❑ Emulsion and suspension preparation

❑ Cell lysis and biological sample processing

❑ Chemical reactions and formulation development

❑ Cleaning and degassing of liquids

A probe sonicator is an ultrasonic device used for liquid sonication, where high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations are transmitted directly into a liquid through a solid probe (horn). This process creates cavitation bubbles in the liquid, which collapse and generate intense energy. Probe sonicators are widely used for mixing, dispersion, emulsification, cell disruption, deagglomeration, and homogenization of liquid samples.

A laboratory probe sonicator is designed for small to medium-volume liquid processing. It is commonly used in R&D laboratories, academic institutes, and quality control labs.

An industrial probe sonicator is designed for large-scale and continuous liquid processing. It is used in production environments where high power and long operating hours are required.

The choice depends on:

❑ Liquid volume to be processed

❑ Application type (research or production)

❑ Required power and throughput

❑ Operating duration and scalability need

Liquid volume to be processed – Laboratory sonicators are suitable for small volumes, while industrial sonicators handle large-scale processing.

Application type – Laboratory models are ideal for research and testing; industrial systems are designed for production use.

Required power and throughput – Higher power and continuous throughput requirements favor industrial sonicator.

Operating duration – Laboratory units are typically used for short or intermittent operations, whereas industrial sonicators are designed for long, continuous runs.

Scalability needs – Industrial sonicators are better suited for scaling up from pilot to full production.

Food cutting through ultrasonic technology utilises high-frequency waves to power a blade that cuts food with precision. The ultrasonic vibrations reduce friction, allowing the blade to move smoothly through sticky, soft, or delicate items without damaging or tearing them.

An ultrasonic manual food cutter is a handheld cutting device that uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations to cut food products cleanly and precisely. The vibrating blade reduces friction, allowing smooth cuts without crushing or deforming the food.

An ultrasonic customised food cutting machine is a tailor-made cutting solution that uses ultrasonic vibration technology to cut specific food products according to customer requirements, such as product shape, size, thickness, and production speed.

Ultrasonic plastic welding is a process that uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations to join two pieces of plastic together. The vibrations are applied to the plastic parts under pressure, causing the material to heat up and melt at the contact points. Once cooled, the plastics are fused, creating a strong and clean bond—without the need for glue, screws, or solvents.

PP box welding through ultrasonic technology is a process used to join polypropylene (PP) sheets or components to manufacture strong, leak-proof, and durable boxes. This method uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations to generate heat at the joint area, melting the PP material locally and fusing the parts—without the need for adhesives, screws, or external heat sources.

Poultry manure belt welding through ultrasonic technology is a joining process used to bond plastic manure belts by applying high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations along with controlled pressure. The ultrasonic energy creates friction at the joint interface, allowing the belt material to fuse strongly without external heat, adhesives, or mechanical fasteners.

Spot welding through ultrasonic technology is a joining process that uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations along with controlled pressure to weld materials at a specific point. The ultrasonic energy creates localised friction at the joint interface, allowing the materials to bond without melting or using additional heat sources.

Fabric sealing through ultrasonic technology is a process that uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations combined with pressure to bond and seal fabrics without stitching, adhesives, or thermal heating. The ultrasonic energy creates localised friction that fuses the fabric layers, forming a clean and durable seal.

A generator in ultrasonic technology is the core electronic unit that produces and controls high-frequency electrical signals, which are then converted into mechanical ultrasonic vibrations by the transducer. It ensures stable and precise energy delivery for consistent ultrasonic processing or welding.

Poultry Manure Belt Welding using ultrasonic technology is a process used to join or repair manure removal belts installed in poultry farms. The method uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations to generate heat at the joint area, melting and fusing the belt material together without the need for adhesives, stitching, or external heating.

A transducer in ultrasonic technology is a critical component that converts high-frequency electrical energy from the ultrasonic generator into mechanical vibrations. These vibrations operate at ultrasonic frequencies and are used for welding, cutting, sealing, cleaning, or liquid processing applications.

A booster in ultrasonic technology is a mechanical component positioned between the ultrasonic transducer and the tool (such as a horn or sonotrode). Its primary function is to modify and control the amplitude of ultrasonic vibrations transmitted to the application.

A sonotrode, also known as a horn, is a key component in ultrasonic technology that transmits high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations from the transducer to the material being processed. It acts as the working tool that directly delivers ultrasonic energy to the application area.

The sonotrode is precisely engineered to amplify, focus, or modify vibration amplitude according to the process requirements. It is widely used in applications such as ultrasonic plastic welding, metal welding, cutting, sealing, and liquid sonication.

Typically manufactured from materials like titanium, aluminum, or hardened steel, the sonotrode is designed to match the operating frequency of the ultrasonic system. Proper sonotrode design ensures efficient energy transfer, consistent performance, and high-quality results in ultrasonic processes.

A roller in ultrasonic technology is a rotating component used in ultrasonic welding, sealing, or cutting systems. It works together with an ultrasonic horn (sonotrode) to apply continuous ultrasonic vibrations while moving over the material, enabling uniform bonding, sealing, or cutting along a line or surface.

A fixture in ultrasonic plastic welding is a specially designed support tool that holds and positions plastic parts accurately during the welding process. It ensures proper alignment, stability, and consistent contact between the parts while ultrasonic energy is applied.

In ultrasonic liquid sonication, the probe (also called an ultrasonic horn or tip) is the component that delivers high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations directly into the liquid medium. It is connected to the ultrasonic transducer and transfers ultrasonic energy efficiently into the liquid. Ultrasonic probes are typically made from titanium due to its high strength, corrosion resistance, and excellent vibration transmission. Probes are available in different diameters and designs to suit varying volumes, viscosities, and application requirements, ensuring controlled, efficient, and reproducible liquid sonication results.

An ultrasonic food cutter is a cutting device that uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations to slice food products cleanly and precisely. The ultrasonic vibrations reduce friction between the blade and the food, allowing smooth cutting without crushing, sticking, or deforming the product.
