Hielsche - Model UIP1000hdT - Powerful and Versatile Biodiesel Homogenizer
From Small and Medium Scale Biodiesel Reactors
The UIP1000hdT (1000W, 20kHz) is a powerful and adaptable ultrasonic device for lab testing and industrial processing of liquids. It is used for applications, such as emulsification, dispersing & particle fine milling, lysis & extraction, dissolving or sonochemical reactions. Color touch display, browser remote control, automatic data recording, integrated SD Card and plugable temperature and pressure sensors allow for precise process control and operation comfort.

Details
The UIP1000hdT is the powerful link between laboratory testing and the industrial processing of liquids. It combines the flexibility and easy handling required in the research and development with an outstanding performance in heavy-duty operation. For this reason, this single device is used for lab scale feasibility testing, process optimization, and process demonstration for ultrasonic liquid processes..
Adaptable System To Fulfill R&D Needs
Since the UIP1000hd is very flexible and adaptable, it is being used in many R&D facilities and universities, today. The flexibility of the UIP1000hd results from an extensive list of manifold accessories, such as sonotrodes, boosters and flow cells. In combination with a sonotrode and the stand, you can sonicate sample beakers (click to enlarge picture) to test various liquid formulations for their response to sonication.
For the processing of batches larger than 5 liters, we generally recommend to sonicate using a flow cell reactor (flow mode) in order to obtain a better processing quality. When used with a flow cell you can run larger samples in recirculation to establish the correlation between parameters, such as amplitude, pressure and liquid composition, and the process results and efficiency. When used for the sonication of liquids in flow mode, the UIP1000hd can typically process between 0.5 and 4.0L/min (The actual rate will depend on your process). As the UIP1000hd is full industrial grade, it can be operated 24 hours per day (24h/7d). A UIP1000hd can typically process approx. 1 to 5m³ per day. For higher production throughput, we recommend using either multiple units or one of the larger ultrasonic devices.
One Device For All Tests From Lab To Production
Using only one device for lab testing, bench-top optimization and process demonstration saves time and is more cost effective. In addition to that, this single unit covers the widest range of possible ultrasonic configurations, e.g. in terms of amplitude and pressure. The standard accessories allow for:
- sonotrode amplitudes of up to 170 micron
- liquid pressures of up to 10 bars
- liquid flow rates of up to 10L/min
(depending on the process) - liquid temperatures of up to 80 degC
(other temperatures on request) - material viscosity of up to 100.000cP
Of course, the UIP1000hd and all accessories are available in our process laboratory, too.
Interdisciplinary Use
The input of ultrasonic power such parameter configurations creates intense cavitational effects. It is its versatility, why the same UIP1000hd can be used in the process development for:
- nanomaterials
- paint & ink
- coatings
- food & beverage
- pharmaceutics and cosmetics
- chemical processes
(e.g. sonochemistry, biodiesel conversion or petrochemistry) - biological processes
The adaptability benefits in particular interdisciplinary R&D. Therefore, much research done in universities in the field of ultrasonics is conducted with this versatile ultrasonic device. Another reason is the exact reproducibility and linear scalability of the obtained results. After testing various setups, the configuration found to be best can be used to run continuously (24h/7d) under production conditions. The UIP1000hd does not only give you full control of all sonication parameters; the PC-Control (optional software interface) also facilitates the recording of the individual trials. For the sonication of flammable liquids or solvents in hazardous environments (ATEX, FM) the UIP1000hd is available in an ATEX-certified version: UIP1000-Exd.
Industrial Grade And Outstanding Efficiency
The UIP1000hd is designed and built for commercial production. It proves its solid, durable design in more than thousand commercial installations worldwide where it is being used in everyday production. This ultrasonic processor requires little maintenance, is easy to setup and simple to clean and to sanitize. Special flow cell reactors meeting the advanced CIP (clean-in-place) and SIP (sterilize-in-place) requirements are available, too. The transducer of the UIP1000hd is IP65 grade, so that it can be installed in demanding environments (dirt, dust, moisture, outside operation etc.), while the generator can be placed remotely in another area.
A very high efficiency in the conversion of electr...
A very high efficiency in the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical oscillations of the sonotrode makes a closed transducer housing possible. There are no louvers in the transducer case. As the energy loss, which would cause a heat-up in the closed transducer housing is very low, no forced cooling, such as compressed air or water is needed. More important this means, that more energy is transmitted into the liquid, resulting in a better sonication. The overall energy efficiency of the UIP1000hd is approx. 80-90% from the power plug into the liquid.
Full Amplitude Control And High Performance
The UIP1000hd can be run at 1000W continuously. The power is transmitted at a controlled amplitude, so that the magnitude of the mechanical ultrasonic vibrations at the sonotrode is constant under all load conditions. You can change the amplitude from 50 to 100% at the generator and by using various booster horns. The chosen amplitude is being held constant, while sonicating any material at any pressure. This feature gives you full control over the most important sonication parameter: Amplitude.
Automatic Frequency Tuning
The UIP1000hd is equipped with an intelligent automatic frequency tuning. The generator finds the optimal operational frequency of the attached transducer-booster-sonotrode configuration, automatically. This results in a higher overall energy efficiency and reliability.
