High Volume Continuous Flocell

Flocells offer inline or continuous, large volume, batch sample processing. Flocells are ideal for mixing and dispersing applications. Batch volumes can be recirculated through the system multiple times if increased sonication time is needed. Multiple units can be used in series to reduce processing time and/or maintain an even higher flow rate.

The liquid sample is pumped into the Flocell through the inlet at the bottom of the unit. As the sample passes through the cavitation field, it is processed. The processed liquid exits the unit through an outlet port. The degree of processing can be controlled by adjusting the intensity of sonication as well as flow rate.

The High Volume Flocell (HVF) is available for use with either the Q1375 or Q700 system. The Flocell (#4549) is equipped with 1/2" sanitary connections, a water jacket and a 1” diameter probe (#4625). The water jacket can be used to recirculate cold water around the exterior of the flocell body. This helps reduce the heat generated during ultrasonic processing.

The HVF is recommended for processing batch volumes of 5L or more. Routine applictions include cell lysis, mixing, solubilizing and deagglomerating/dispersing nanoparticles.

Flocells require long processing times so air cooling of the Converter is required at all times.  Customer must provide approximately 5-10psi of clean, dry air to prevent overheating of the Sonicator.

*Peristaltic pump and associated tubing are not included. Customer must select their own pump based on their particular product requirements. A variable speed pump is recommended.
