Abstract
In a process for sterilization and homogenization of a liquid or fluid, these operations are carried out by subjecting the liquid or fluid to ultrasonic frequency vibrations for a predetermined period of time. In a device for carrying out the process, the liquid taken in from a tank (10) is sent by a pump (11) to a chamber (1), inside of which or in proximity to which is arranged a sonotrode (5) connected to a converter-generator (14). As it travels through this chamber (1), the liquid is subjected to vibrations and is sterilized or homogenized.
Claims10
Device for sterilization and homogenization of a liquid or a fluid of low or medium viscosity, comprising:
- a tank (10);
- a pump means (11) for taking in the liquid or fluid from the tank (10) and sending it out;
- an inlet pipe (2) connected to the pump means (11);
- a chamber means (1), connected to the inlet pipe (2), for receiving the liquid or fluid;
- a means (5), installed inside of the chamber means (1), for transferring high-frequency vibrations to the liquid or fluid;
- an outlet pipe (3) for the liquid or fluid circulating inside of the chamber means (1);
- a high-frequency vibration converter-generator (14) arranged coaxially with said transferring means (5);
- and
- a collection container (13) into which the liquid or fluid continues from the outlet pipe (3).
