The Cavitron 1048 chamber tool is a high-shear reactor system designed for processing solid, liquid, gaseous, fibrous, and pasty media with throughputs of 20 to 240 GPM, powered by 40 to 175 horsepower, and operating at a maximum of 3600 RPM. It uses concentric chambers to compress fluid up to 10 bar before releasing it through narrow nozzles, enabling sub-micron emulsification and efficient chemical reactions. The tool is suited for applications in pharmaceutical, food, biotechnology, chemical, cosmetic, and paper industries. It is shown without a motor in product images.
Operating at up to 13,000 RPM, Cavitron rotor/stator mixers can produce as many as 500 million cavitational episodes per second. Cavitron reactor systems are based on kinematic high-frequency technology. Revolutionary process is remarkably efficient, enabling Cavitron systems to handle throughputs that used to require much larger machines.
Cavitron tools consist of a series of concentric rings containing holes or slots. As the medium enters the center chamber, it is compressed at a pressure of up to 10 bar. One one-thousandth of a second later the chamber opens, and the medium explodes outward into the next chamber.
