The Cavitron 1020 nozzle tool is a high-shear homogenizer designed for continuous in-line processing of solid, liquid, gaseous, fibrous, and pasty media, with a capacity range of 4 to 66 GPM, power requirements of 10 to 40 hp, and a maximum speed of 7500 RPM. It uses concentric chamber nozzles as small as 500 microns to generate cavitation events, enabling efficient emulsification, dispersion, and chemical reaction control without rheological limitations. The tool is built for applications in pharmaceutical, food, biotechnology, chemical, and cosmetic industries. It shares core design principles with the Cavitron series, including up to 10 bar compression and up to 500 million rotor/stator contacts per second. The part is mounted for in-line use and does not specify physical dimensions or mounting details beyond its functional configuration.
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.
