Product catalog summary
Overview of Ultrasonic Food Processing
Ultrasonic food processing is a highly efficient method for cutting, slicing, forming, diverting, aligning, or transferring various food products. The technology utilizes ultrasonic blades that vibrate at high frequencies (20 kHz, 30 kHz, or 40 kHz), creating a nearly friction-free surface that minimizes product sticking and build-up on the blades. This results in increased productivity and reduced downtime due to less frequent cleaning requirements.
Benefits of Ultrasonic Technology
  • Increased productivity and reduced downtime.
  • Improved cut quality with clean cuts through multi-layers and densities without smearing.
  • Effective cutting of particulates like nuts and fruits without displacement.
  • Minimized sticking of products to the blades.
  • Ultrasonic components can be cleaned in place and easily integrated into existing production lines.
  • Reduced cutting force required.
Applications
Ultrasonic food processing is applicable in various sectors including confectionery, cheese, and baked goods.
Technical Components
  • Ultrasonic Generator/Power Supply: Converts line voltage into a high-frequency signal sent to the converter, which then transforms it into mechanical motion using piezoelectric crystals.
  • Sealed Ultrasonic Converter: Can be cleaned in place and is used to maintain, decrease, or increase the amplitude of the cutting blade/horn.
  • Ultrasonic Cutting Blades: Made from titanium, these blades are used for guillotining or slitting products and can be custom-designed.
Dukane Ultrasonic Components
  • Half Wave Guillotine: Cuts products up to 2” thick with standard widths ranging from 6” to 14”.
  • Half Wave Wedge Guillotine: Cuts products up to 3” thick with similar width options.
  • Full Wave Guillotine: Suitable for cutting products up to 6” thick.
  • Full Wave Wedge Guillotine: Can cut products up to 7” thick.
  • Slitters: Available in side, end, or arrowhead designs, with customizable configurations.

Ultrasonic Food Processing - Cutting-1

ltrasonic Food processing is an efficient way tocut, slice, form, divert, align or transfer a variety of food products. The ultrasonic blade(s) vibrateat high-frequencies of 20 kHz, 30 kHz, or 40 kHz.Thisoscillating/vibration motion of the blades produces a nearly friction-free surface. Problems with product sticking and build-up on the blade/tools are minimized. Users have increased productivity by minimizing theproduction time previously lost cleaning the machinery.Others have discov- ered they can totally eliminate procedures necessary with conventional cutting, such as chilling the productbefore the cutting operations, or realigning the product after cutting prior to the packaging operation.35 years of ultrasonic experience has allowed us to continuously improve the technology to its current advanced level.We offer technical assistancefor application evaluations, in-plant demonstrations and consultations. > ?
