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!

Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM) is excited to announce our participation in MJBizCon 2025 on December 2-5 in Las Vegas, NV! Join us at booth #C23520 to explore our ultrasonic technology, including turn-key systems used for extraction and nano-emulsification, and an array of  NanoStabilizer® formulation solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of our cannabis and nutraceutical customers.

Our team will be showcasing ISM's high-amplitude ultrasonic processors, NanoStabilizer® products (including some exciting new ones), accessories, and finished nano-formulations.  Whether you are looking to extract from kratom, mushrooms or cannabis plants, or to create water-soluble liquid or powdered nano-formulations from the corresponding extracts and/or other bioactives, this is the ideal opportunity to discover how ISM can support your business goals.

We are excited to announce that Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM) been awarded a $306,865 Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH).

The Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM) team had a great time at CAMX 2025 last month showcasing and discussing how ISM's Continuous Ultrasonic Homogenizer and Bubble Eliminator (CuhBE) can significantly enhance a wide range of manufacturing processes. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth!

We also want to thank everyone who attended Dr. Alexey Peshkovsky's presentation!
