Fig. 34 Strobe photograph and ultrasonic homogenization. (From Ref. 35.) These units have seen application in both a two-step premix-homogenization pro-cedure and true multicomponent continuous processing. Capacities and pressures of systems range from laboratory units, producing 4-10 L/min at 1200-1700 psig requir-ing 2-5 horsepower, to full-scale production units with capacities of up to 450 L/min operating around 350 psig and requiring 60 horsepower. Figure 35 presents the dual-feed system, in which the two separately prepared components are metered volumetrically into the area of the vibrating knife, where the intense cavitational effects occur.
