Vortex reactor characteristics
● High-intensity fl ow-through sonication by targeted rotary movement
of the sonication medium in the reactor
● High process yield through cavitation-intensive ultrasonic near fi eld in
a narrow reaction gap
● Effi cient omnidirectional characteristic through extensive
exterior assembly of the reactor tube
● Wide range of uses due to single-frequeny or TwinSonic ® versions for
25 kHz and/or 40 kHz ultrasound operating frequency
● Easy scale-up for extendable series or parallel operation through
modular construction
● Simple installation and versatile use due to Victaulic connection
technology; optionally with thread, fl ange or Tri-Clamp connections
● Long life time due to
2.6 mm thick stainless steel tube material AISI 316 Ti
● Reproducible results due to power control via a microprocessorcontrolled
HF generator
Applications
● Intensifying of industrial, biotechnological and chemical processes,
disintegrating, degassing and disagglomerating
● Intense degassing of dye solutions and photographic emulsions
● CO2 degassing of aqueous reactants
● Support of disinfection (bacterial elimination) in water and
wastewater treatment
● Disinfection of organic contaminant material in industrial rinsing
liquids for recycling
● Support of disinfection of bacteria- and parasite-burdened fi shbreeding
circulating waters
● Producing of finest polishing pastes for water industry
● Homogenizing of pigments in oil (producing of ink)
Scale-up operation of the sonoreactors
Parallel operation
For sonication of large quantities, e.g. 400 l/min
with multiple reactors (also possible in combination
with parallel operation).
…
Serial operation
For high-intensity, continuous sonication with
multiple reactors (also possible in combination
with parallel operation).
…
Medium in the narrow reaction gap

Characteristics of SONOBLOC ® tube reactors
● Large-volume fl ow-through sonication across the entire
tube cross section of the reactor.
● Advantageous intensive sonication of thin and/or fi brous products due
to distinctive focus zone in the reactor tube
● Space-saving narrow design for tight parallel installations
● Optimised design 25 kHz or 40 kHz ultrasound operating frequency
● Easy scale-up for extendable series or parallel operation through
modular construction
● Simple installation and versatile use due to
Victaulic connection technology; optionally with thread, fl ange or
Tri-Clamp connections
● Extra long life time due to 3.6 mm thick stainless steel tube
material AISI 316 Ti
● Reproducible results due to power control via a microprocessorcontrolled
HF generator
Applications
● Ultrasonic intensive treatment of fl exible fi brous products and wireor
band-shaped endless profi les
● Support of industrial and biotechnological processes
in cleaning, disintegrating, degassing and disagglomerating
● Effi cient cleaning by removing grease, oil, emulsions and/or crack
residues with single- and multiple-wire cleaning
● CO2 degassing of aqueous reactants
● Support of disinfection (bacterial elimination) in water and
wastewater treatment
● Acceleration of disintegration and/or decomposition of organic
contaminant material in treatment of sludge
● Disinfection of organic contaminant material in industrial rinsing
liquids for recycling
● Support of disinfection of bacteria- and parasite-burdened fi shbreeding
circulating waters
● Dispersing of solid particles in liquids (medicine production)
Ultrasound generators LG … for scale-up operation
To operate the reactors, high-performance,
microprocessor-controlled ultrasound generators
LG of up to 9000 W are used.
LG … F up to max. 6000 W LG … D up to max. 9000 W
Medium in the reaction tube
Generators are controlled directly at the
generator or externally via the RS 232 serial interface
or the remote control connection.
