Ultrasonic Immersible Systems
Our Ultrasonic Immersibles provide the ability to acoustically energize existing tanks and treatment vessels. This technique offers the convenience of a quick ultrasonic installation into your current process loop without major equipment alterations.
The permanent acoustic output performance of our Ultrasonic Immersibles is the envy of worldwide ultrasonic equipment manufacturers. Our Immersibles deliver constant and consistent operational performance, year-after-year. Our solid state transducers and silver-brazed bonds are guaranteed to deliver unmatched process reliability for 10 Years.

Ultrasonic Immersible
Common Immersible Installations Include:
Side Mounted Immersible Systems.
Single
frequency Immersibles may be mounted to direct the ultrasonic sound field
toward the material requiring treatment. The Immersible's lower
mounting bracket could be a saddle to eliminate the need for lower
internal tank access.
Bottom Mounted Immersible
Systems.
The Immersible's conduit may be formed for positioning the
transducers on the tank's bottom surface. Material may be lowered
from above or conveyed through the ultrasonic sound field. Strategic
liquid level depths will strongly influence the processing
characteristics of the material positioned within the sound
field.
Our
Dual-Frequency Ultrasonic Immersible Systems.
Our
Dual-Frequency Technology may be packaged into a simple Immersible
system. The opposing diaphragm plate configuration maximizes the
reaction kinetics within the processing chamber. This arrangement
may be used for batch or continuous treatment dependent upon material flow
characteristics. We offer many additional
Dual-Frequency configurations to adapt to your particular installation
requirements.
The Dual-Frequency Immersible Trough.
The
Dual-Frequency Immersible Trough is a continuous flow system. The
material flows through the center section for effective acoustic
exposure.
Transducers may be attached to the bottom surface for thorough treatment of high density material. Our Ultrasonic Trough provides an effective structure for this purpose.
The basic Immersible System includes a Diaphragm Plate sealed Transducer Cover ultrasonic power cable conduit, and the high-frequency electrical generator.
To
purchase an Ultrasonic Immersible, please specify: The Diaphragm Plate
size and power level; Transducer
Style; Mounting
Tab style and location; and the Conduit
Configuration bent to satisfy your installation
requirements.
Common Immersible mounting configurations include:
Side Mounted Immersibles with various mounting tab arrangements.
The Side Mounted Immersible is also available with a rear entry transducer cable connection.
The Rear Entry Conduit connection allows Side Mounted Immersibles to be stacked vertically for tall processing tank installations. Positioning rails allow each Immersible to slide down tracks attached to the inside wall of the processing tank.
Bottom Mounted Immersibles with a reversed bend or gooseneck conduit.
We also offer a Bottom Mounted Curved Diaphragm Plate Immersible.
The Curved Diaphragm Plate Immersible allows the settling sediment to vibrate off the resonating surface. This configuration eliminates the gradual decay in ultrasonic performance caused by accumulating debris which isolates the diaphragm plate from the process solution.
Top Mounted Curved Diaphragm Plate Immersible.
The Top Mounted Curved Diaphragm Plate Immersible is built to project the sound field downward. The curved surface allows rising coalesced gas bubbles to slide off the vibrating diaphragm plate. Trapped gas/vapor bubbles will prevent the ultrasonic energy from coupling to the process solution and will reduce processing results. The Curved Diaphragm Plate Immersible prevents vapor pocket trapping thereby improving system performance.
Additional transducer power cable connections include:
The flexible Braided Stainless Steel Conduit is ideal for installations requiring complex immersible conduit geometry. The flexible conduit assembly is easily maneuvered around obstacles, simplifying the initial installation.
The Bulkhead Fitting Ultrasonic Immersible
eliminates the need for the conduit by passing the transducer power cable
through a hole in the wall of the process tank. The bulkhead fitting
is equipped with an "O" Ring to seal this penetration for leak tight
operation. The bulkhead fitting is easily serviced for "O" ring maintenance
and replacement.
Ultrasonic Immersibles offer the following processing advantages:
Immersibles provide a large acoustically activated surface for maximizing contact area with the process solution, (the stiff paddle effect versus point source resonators).
Immersibles are easy to install and maintain. Existing storage tanks can easily be converted into an ultrasonically activated vessel/system. In addition, troughs or other material conveyancing hardware can be ultrasonically activated for effective treatment while the product moves to the next location.
The primary source of sound energy is emitted from the Ultrasonic Diaphragm Plate. The high peak-to-peak displacement of the Diaphragm Plate creates the maximum cavitational intensity directly in front of this surface.
The installation flexibility of the Immersible allows the hardware to be transferred from vessel to vessel. Temporary setups are easily moved and reconnected to accommodate expanding systems.
