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.

Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM) was honored to participate in the 4th International Process Intensification Conference (IPIC4) in Montreal, Canada, this June 2026. We would like to thank the organizers and attendees, many of whom ISM's President and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Alexey Peshkovsky, had the pleasure of meeting. ISM was proud to support this event as a Silver Sponsor, as it continues to bring together leading researchers, industry professionals, and innovators in the field of process intensification.

Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM) had a great time exhibiting at the Adhesives and Bonding Expo 2026. It was a pleasure connecting with manufacturers, researchers, and industry professionals to discuss the latest advancements in ultrasonic processing technology and the many ways our solutions can support adhesive, coating, and materials manufacturing applications.

We are excited to spotlight theUltrasonic Extractor Pro-Lite™— a semi-automated ultrasonic extraction system from Industrial Sonomechanics, purpose-built for users scaling from R&D to pilot-scale production.

Whether you are extracting alkaloids from kratom, cannabinoids from cannabis, polyphenols from botanicals, or bioactives from mushrooms, the Pro-Lite™ delivers the consistent, high-yield results you need — with minimal operator involvement.

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.

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.”
  

Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM) was honored to participate in the 1st International Conference in Ultrasonics Food and Technology hosted by TEAGASC in Dublin, Ireland, this past week.

We extend our sincere thanks to the organizers for hosting a successful inaugural event and to all the attendees, many of whom ISM President and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Alexey Peshkovsky, had the pleasure of meeting throughout the conference.

We are pleased to announce the launch of All-In-One NanoStabilizer®-LSSP — the newest addition to our product line.

Building on the success of our All-In-OneNanoStabilizer®-LTand LSO, the Industrial Sonomechanics R&D team continues to push the boundaries of innovation in the production of water-soluble bioactive nanoemulsions. This new formulation is specifically designed to enable the production of water-soluble liquid and powdered kratom, kava, and mushroom extract nanoemulsions, opening new possibilities for the food, beverage, and supplements industries.

We are proud to announce thatIndustrial Sonomechanics (ISM) is celebrating its 20th anniversary!
