Abstract
A device for treatment by high frequency sound waves that has at least one enclosure and at least one ultrasound transducer and methods for cleaning foodstuffs in the device. The waves produced by the ultrasound transducer in the enclosure filled with a cleaning liquid have a frequency greater than 100 kHz, preferably greater than 200 kHz.
Claims23
A device for treatment by high frequency sound waves, comprising:
- an enclosure comprising a liquid, and at least one ultrasound transducer,
- wherein the waves produced by the ultrasound transducer in the enclosure have a frequency greater than 100 kHz.
11-16. (canceled)
A method for cleaning and/or decontaminating by high frequency sound waves, the method comprising:
- providing an enclosure comprising a liquid and at least one ultrasound transducer, wherein the waves produced by the ultrasound transducer in the enclosure have a frequency greater than 100 kHz;
- placing a product to be cleaned and/or decontaminated from at least one pollutant particle in the enclosure;
- generating high-frequency sound waves, greater than 100 kHz in said in the enclosure by the ultrasound transducer;
- wherein the high-frequency sound waves propagate within the enclosure and reach the product to be cleaned and/or decontaminated;
- and
- recovering a cleaned and/or decontaminated product from the enclosure.
