The Sonicprep™ Ultrasonic Homogenizer

The Sonicprep™ offers a wide range of techniques, such as extraction, infusion, homogenization, emulsification, suspension, degassing and rapid barrel-aging.

The advantage of the Sonicprep™:

Since it applies insignificant amount of heat and can finish the process in less than 2-3 minutes, it maintains vivid flavor and aroma, causes no loss of nutrition, maintains bright colors of ingredients and creates a rounder and smoother flavor. Because of short processing times, it provides maximum flexibility for chefs.

The system is comprised of 4 major components: generator, converter, probe and sound box. Through the probe, it applies 20,000 cycles of high-frequency ultrasonic waves. In liquid, the probe tip releases rapid vibrations that cause expansion and collapsing of microscopic bubbles.

Features included with the Sonicprep™:
  • Ultrasonic processor with 400 Watt
  • Power output control to match power to the application
  • Continuous or timed (0-15 minutes) operation
  • Pulsed mode to minimize heat generation
  • Broad process range from 1 ml to over 500 ml per sample
  • Power output meter to monitor power and permit reproducability
  • Includes a high-efficiency converter which requires no internal cooling
  • Supplied with a standard 1/2" titanium probe
  • Supplied with a sound box with transparent door to reduce high noise level

MORE INFORMATION

Examples of Sonicprep™ applications:

  • Stable Emulsions: create a very fine suspension of liquids that don't mix (vinaigrette) without using an emulsifying agent.
  • Aging calvados with wood chips in less than 2 minutes with a flavor effect that would usually take 2 years.
  • Degas and homogenize wine: wine treated for 1-2 minutes will appear with a much fuller and rounder mouth feel.
  • Infusions and extractions: volatile aromas of fresh herbs or spices can be quickly infused into a liquid, such as a cocktail.
  • Intensifying fruit or vegetable pulp for sauces and purée by cell disruption
  • Tenderizing and marinating meat
  • Intensify stocks: apply Sonicprep™ to shrimp stock and achieve more intense flavor without overcooking the delicate protein.
