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 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. This innovation enhances productivity by reducing downtime for cleaning and eliminates the need for certain conventional procedures, such as pre-chilling products before cutting.
Benefits of Ultrasonic Technology
  • Increased productivity and reduced downtime.
  • Improved cut quality, capable of handling multi-layers and densities without smearing.
  • Clean cutting of particulates like nuts and fruits without displacement.
  • Minimized sticking of products to blades.
  • Components can be cleaned in place and easily integrated into existing production lines.
  • Reduced cutting force required.
Ultrasonic Components and Functionality
  • Ultrasonic Generator/Power Supply: Converts line voltage into a high-frequency signal (20, 30, or 40 kHz) sent to the converter, typically mounted remotely in electrical panels.
  • Sealed Ultrasonic Converter: Converts the generator signal into mechanical motion using piezoelectric crystals, with a stainless sealed design for easy cleaning.
  • Booster: Adjusts the amplitude of the cutting blade/horn and serves as a mounting point, available in titanium or aluminum.
  • Dukane Ultrasonic Cutting Blades: Customizable blades for various cutting needs, including guillotining and slitting, with replaceable slitting blades available in different designs.
Applications
Ultrasonic food processing is applicable in various sectors, including confectionery, cheese, and baked goods.

Ultrasonic Food Processing ltrasonic Food processing is an efficient way to cut, slice, form, divert, align or transfer a variety Benefits of Ultrasonics of food products. The ultrasonic blade(s) vibrate • Increased productivity at high-frequencies of 20 kHz, 30 kHz, or 40 kHz. This oscillating/vibration motion of the blades produces a • Reduced down time nearly friction-free surface. Problems with product • Improved cut quality sticking and build-up on the blade/tools are minimized. • Multi–layers & densities are cut without smearing Users have increased productivity by minimizing the production time previously lost cleaning the machinery. • Particulates such as nuts & fruits are Others have discovered they can totally eliminate procecut cleanly without displacement dures necessary with • Minimized sticking of product to conventional the blades cutting, such as chilling the product • Ultrasonic components can be before the cutting cleaned in place 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 assistance for application evaluations, in-plant demonstrations and consultations. Intelligent Assembly Solutions • Easily adapted into existing production lines • Reduced cutt

Dukane Ultrasonic Components for Food Cutting Ultrasonic Generator/Power Supply • Converts line voltage into 20, 30, or 40kHz signal that is sent to the converter via a coax cable. Typically they are remote mounted in equipment electrical panels. Sealed Ultrasonic Converter Booster • Used to maintain, decrease or increase the amplitude of the cutting blade/ horn. Also acts as mounting point for integration. Offered in titanium or aluminum. Ultrasonic Cutting Blades • Connected to the booster. They are made from titanium and can be used for guillotining or slitting products. • Custom cutting blades...
