The Sonic Sonolator is an in-line, high-pressure homogenizer that subjects fluids to extreme acceleration and ultrasonic cavitation in a single shot by forcing the material through our specially engineered orifice and impinging the fluid across our knife-like blade. The material is forced by a PD pump through the orifice and is accelerated to greater than 300 ft/sec. The fluid cavitates as vortices of material are violently spun off in the opposite direction of the flow. We push this cavitational energy even further by forcing the material to strike a knife-like blade set in its path. Vortices of material are spun off simultaneously forming a pulsating cavitational field around the blade.  This extreme fluid acceleration and cavitation allows for highly-effective mixing, homogenizing, emulsifying and dispersing.

By itself, the Sonolator is actually quite small with no moving parts, but when coupled to a PD Pump it makes for a powerhouse of a homogenizing system. All model Sonolators house the orifice and blade discussed previously and can handle pressures up to 5,000 psi. The key to custom engineering Sonolator systems is choosing the right pump! This is where our experience and technology shine because we can choose from a host of commercially available pumps including high-pressure plunger pumps, gear pumps, progressing cavity pumps, as well as many others.
