Ultrasonic Processing Applications

Introduction

Since the last 20 years, Ralsonics has been manufacturing ultrasonic processors for developing new applications in emerging sectors. With Ralsonics, you can develop the required process for your application with the help of our lab scale processors. We will then help you scale up to industrial scale processors that are designed for your specific process. Ralsonic’s industrial processors have hundreds of applications, all of which lead to cost savings, higher quality products and increased productivity.

Food and Beverages Industry

Processing of food and beverages is one of the largest emerging sectors in the world economy. Due to most countries having adopted a global supply chain, food and beverage processing has taken on increased importance. This growth is spurred by large FMCG firms looking to expand their global presence.

 

Ultrasonic processing has a lot of applications in this sector. Mixing, emulsification, spraying, degassing, defoaming, crystallization, dispersion, encapsulation, homogenization, nano-emulsification, disintegration, extraction and digestion are all important processes that use ultrasonic processing.

“Ralsonics’ sonicator is commonly used in the food and beverages industry as an ultrasonic homogenizer, as well as for ultrasonic mixing, ultrasonic extraction and ultrasonic cell disruption”
