Ultrasonic emulsifier features

 

Ultrasonic emulsification refers to a process in which two (or more) non-phase solutions are uniformly mixed to form a dispersion system under the action of ultrasonic energy, wherein one liquid is uniformly distributed in another liquid to form an emulsion.

 

1. High emulsification quality

 

The formed emulsion has a small average droplet size of 0.2 to 2 μm, a narrow droplet size distribution range of 0.1 to 10 μm or less, a high concentration, a pure emulsion concentration of up to 30%, and an emulsifier of up to 70%. .

 

2. Emulsified stability

 

Stable emulsion can be produced without or with less emulsifier, and some can be stabilized for several months to more than half a year, with low energy consumption, high production efficiency and low cost.

 

3. Can control the type of lotion

 

Under certain sound field conditions, both o/w (oil-in-water) and w/o (water-in-oil) emulsions can be prepared. However, it is impossible to use mechanical emulsification. Only the properties of emulsifiers can control lactic acid. Types of. For example, emulsifying in water, one type of emulsion can be formed under low sound intensity conditions, and another type of emulsion may be formed under high sound intensity conditions.

 

4. The power required to produce the emulsion is small

 

For example, if a 4.55m3/h emulsion with a droplet size of 1μm is prepared, if a spring pian whistle is used, when the working pressure is 10.5~14.1kg/cm2, only 5-7 horsepower driving power is needed, and a high pressure homogenizer is used. When the working pressure is 70.3 to 351.6 kg/cm2, a driving power of 40 to 50 horsepower is required.
