Acoustic Enclosure for the Sonifier® Homogenizers
Although ultrasound is above the audible range of the human ear, mechanical noise occurs when liquids are treated ultrasonically. The noise may be disturbing in a room with low ambient noise level if exposed for prolonged periods of time. Operating the Sonifier® in the Soundproof Enclosure can minimize mechanical noise produced by ultrasonic processing. The sturdy cabinet is lined with waterproof, sound-absorbing material, which is impervious to most solutions or laboratory regents and can be easily cleaned. A fully-transparent door enables viewing of the process while limiting the noise to an acceptable level. This acoustic enclosure lowers the decibel rating 20-25db. (For reference, a 25db decrease would lower the noise emitted by an average lawnmower to about that of a normal speaking voice.) Openings at the top and bottom of enclosure make for easy access for use with either a cup horn or standard probes. A storage panel on the side allows for placement of horns, tips and manuals
