The Cavitron model 1060 is a cone-type reactor system designed for high-shear processing of solid, liquid, gaseous, fibrous, and pasty media, with a capacity range of 20 to 260 GPM, a power requirement of 40 to 175 horsepower, and a maximum RPM of 3000. It utilizes a series of nozzles that decrease in size to break down the medium as it passes through concentric chambers, enabling efficient emulsification, dispersion, and cell disruption. The tool is constructed from abrasion-resistant steel, with an optional super-hard silicon carbide variant available for enhanced durability in grinding and dissolving applications.
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.
