Application of high-power ultrasound for treating materials and enhancing manufacturing processes. 

Eurecat’s Ultrasound Laboratory has been set up to deliver services which require the application of high-power ultrasound in manufacturing processes.

Its main role is polymer processing by ultrasonics (ultrasonic moulding, welding, cutting, sonication, etc.).

The laboratory also has the capability to manufacture its own ultrasonic equipment and apply it to all kinds of processes and materials. It consists of ultrasonic generators for industrial use plus the instrumentation required for process measurement and characterisation.

Service types

  • Ultrasonic polymer moulding
  • High-power multi-material ultrasonic welding
  • Liquid sonication for particle dispersion/defragmentation
  • Ultrasonic cutting of all types of materials
  • Applying ultrasound to injection moulding, extrusion, degassing and any industrial process required
  • Advice on optimising industrial processes and designing and manufacturing customised sonotrodes.

Methods and techniques available

  • Ultrasonic moulding
  • Finite element design and manufacture of sonotrodes
  • Experiment design application

Standout technologies

Ultrasonic moulding is a globally unique technology, an alternative to conventional microinjection moulding.
