Clamp-On ultrasonic systems

 

These systems overcome one of the most important limitations of conventional industrial ultrasonics: the need for custom-designed sonotrodes resonant at the appropriate frequency for the system. Instead, MPIs clamp on ultrasonic tools fit onto your existing pipes (or reactors, pressure vessels, extruder heads etc. - almost anything up to several hundred kg) and drive it efficiently with ultrasonic power ranging from 300W to 100Kw!

Small scale laboratory sono-reactor uses a simple stainless steel flask glass also possible and clamp-on sonotrode Benefits of clamp-on ultrasonic systems
Conventional fixed-frequency systems drive the acoustic system (converter & reactor) at a frequency optimized for the converter without full consideration of how the reactor frame changes the resonant frequency of the system as a whole. Rather than fighting physics our systems adapt to the new resonant frequency when an un-tuned mass (the reactor vessel) is attached to the converter.

Key features of clamp-on MMM ultrasonic systems:

 

  • Applicable to almost any pipe, reactor, pressure vessel, or large tooling component including irregular, thick walled and heavy parts.
  • Drives high and low viscosity liquids, powders and solids (plus mixtures such as food products).
  • Digital signal processing plus advanced programmed controls give optimum results in all process conditions.
  • Ultrasonics can be fitted without removing or draining existing parts - zero downtime installation.
