Ultrasonic extraction, simplified.
High-intensity ultrasound disrupts plant cell structures and rapidly releases target compounds—using water or alcohol as solvents. The result? High yields, short processing times, and excellent scalability.
With systems like the Hielscher UIP2000hdT, batches from 10 to 120 L can be processed continuously, 24/7. In practice, a 30 L botanical extraction can be completed in ~8 minutes. Mechanical stirring keeps material in the cavitation zone, maximizing mass transfer and efficiency.
From herbs and spices to hops, cannabinoids, and other sensitive compounds—ultrasonication delivers speed, control, and reproducibility.
