Water-Cooled Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Transducers for Continuous Industrial Processing

[fa icon="calendar'] Sep 29, 2026, 3:57:58 PM / by Alexey Peshkovsky, Ph.D. posted in Ultrasonic Transducer

[fa icon="comment"] 0 Comments

At industrial power levels, an ultrasonic transducer must manage the heat generated in it during electrical-to-mechanical energy conversion. If the heat cannot be removed continuously, the transducer’s operating time and production capacity will be limited. ISM developed its patented SWCT-series sealed water-cooled piezoelectric transducers to support continuous high-power operation while protecting high-voltage internal components from humidity and potentially flammable process vapors.

What Is an Ultrasonic Processor? A Beginner’s Guide

[fa icon="calendar'] Jun 26, 2026, 7:11:34 AM / by ISM Team posted in Ultrasonic Processing Systems, Theory of Ultrasonic Processing

[fa icon="comment"] 0 Comments

An ultrasonic processor is a device that uses high-frequency sound waves to create intense microscopic agitation in liquids. This process—called ultrasonication—is commonly used to mix, break apart, emulsify, extract, disperse, or process materials at a microscopic level.

Ultrasonic processors are widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food and beverage, cosmetics, cannabis extraction, nanotechnology, and chemical manufacturing.

What Is Ultrasonic Cavitation and How Is It Used in Liquid Processing?

[fa icon="calendar'] Jun 26, 2026, 7:03:12 AM / by ISM Team posted in Ultrasonic Degassing, Liquid Degassing, Theory of Ultrasonic Processing, Cavitation

[fa icon="comment"] 0 Comments

Ultrasonic cavitation is a physical phenomenon where tiny vacuum bubbles form, grow, and then violently collapse in a liquid due to high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound).

 

How it works

  • Ultrasound waves (typically above 20 kHz) travel through a liquid.
  • These waves create alternating high-pressure and low-pressure cycles.
  • During low-pressure phases, microscopic bubbles form (this is called cavitation).
  • During high-pressure phases, the bubbles collapse or “implode.”
