Hielscher ultrasonic devices are used worldwide for homogenizing, dispersing and emulsifying as well as for disagglomerating, suspending, extracting, degassing and spraying. Mechanical applications, s
uch as cutting, punching, welding, tinning, sieving, coating and ironing are possible, too. In the industry, the enormous sound intensity serves for the sonication of large volumes in flow or batch. For example, systems with 60,000 watts are used for the industrial sonication of sewage sludge, serving a community of over 500,000 people. Innovation resulted in unique processes, such as ultrasonic wire cleaning, that became industry standards.
