Manufactured by Sonic Corporation (sonicmixing dot com) This unit was used for sample batches - it has processed less than 20 gallons of product. It is in Brand New Condition. 316 Stainless steel components. Processes up to 1 gallon per minute Electronics: Hitachi variable frequency drive mounted in a Nema 4X stainless enclosure on the frame. Pressure transmitter. Power disconnect knob, Potentiometer, Start/stop switch. Pump inlet furnished with a 1 gallon stainless steel funnel. This unit came wired for 3 Phase 220 power- it is currently set up to run on Single Phase 220. Can be switched back and forth very easily. This description of the Sonolator is from Sonics website: "All types of mixers achieve mixing by rapidly changing the direction the fluid, accelerating the fluid, or subjecting the fluid to cavitation. Rotating props or high shear rotors force fluids to change direction and cavitate; static mixers use direction change. The Sonolator is an in-line, continuous, high pressure homogenizer that subjects fluids to high pressure, extreme acceleration and ultrasonic cavitation by forcing the material through our engineered Orifice. 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 are violently spun off in the opposite direction of the flow. We harness this cavitational energy by then 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 allow for very effective mixing, homogenizing, emulsifying and dispersing." This unit comes with two different orifice attachments allowing for different specific particle sizes. Original crate was 53" X 42" X 49" - New crate will be similar. Freight should be between $200 and $400 depending on your location. I have all the original manuals and paperwork for all the components This is a VERY nice unit! It works amazingly, and the people at Sonic are FANTASTIC. Im sure that whatever your intended use, the folks at Sonic will advise and direct.
