An Overview Of ResonantAcoustic® Mixing: Mixing Solids-Loaded And Viscous Liquids

Resodyn Acoustic Mixers has developed and demonstrated a new and innovative technology that provides a significant contribution to the development and manufacture of advanced complex mix products. The technology applies a consistent shear field throughout an entire mixing vessel and has proven to mix materials with very consistent results. Trade marked ResonantAcoustics®, the technology efficiently substitutes low-frequency sonic energy for traditional mechanical mixing impellers, leading to significant performance, environmental and economic improvements in the manufacture of many industrial products. The use of ResonantAcoustics® will greatly enhance development and production efforts of new and existing products by ensuring the most complete mix possible while incorporating real time monitoring of important physical characteristics.

Technology
ResonantAcoustic® mixing (RAM) technology is a new approach to solving mixing and dispersion problems that is distinct and superior to either conventional impeller agitation or ultrasonic mixing. Rather than mix by inducing bulk fluid flow, like impeller agitation, ResonantAcoustic® agitation mixes by inducing microscale turbulence through the propagation of acoustic waves throughout the medium.
