What are the Components of Ultrasonic Food Cutting System?

 

Ultrasonic generator (power supply)

 

The ultrasonic generator converts 110VAC or 220VAC current into high-frequency, high-voltage electrical signals.

 

 

Ultrasonic transducer (converter)

 

Ultrasonic transducers utilize high-frequency electrical signals from generators and convert them into linear, controllable, and controllable signals. This conversion is achieved through the use of piezoelectric ceramic sheets, which expand when a voltage is applied. The converter used in food cutting systems is specially designed to be completely sealed for operation in a cleaning environment. Transducers are specifically designed for operation in cleaning environments and include air input and output ports for cooling.

Ultrasonic amplitude lever

 

The ultrasonic amplitude lever is an adjusted component that can mechanically adjust the linear vibration motion of the converter to the desired level. The linear vibration motion of the converter is used to generate optimal cutting performance for specific applications. The ultrasonic amplitude lever also provides a safe, non vibrating position to clamp the cutting tool. The amplitude lever used in the food cutting system is an integrated and solid titanium design to achieve maximum cutting accuracy and repeatability. In addition, the single piece design allows for thorough cleaning, unlike the multi piece ultrasonic amplitude lever, which may harbor bacteria.

Ultrasonic cutting blade

 

Ultrasonic cutting blade is a customized tool designed to vibrate at a specific frequency. These tools are carefully designed using computer modeling techniques to achieve optimal performance and lifespan.

The ultrasonic cutting blade must be tuned to match the frequency of the system. This tuning program needs to consider the quality, length, and geometric shape of the blade. Titanium is the preferred material for ultrasound tools due to its resonance and fatigue resistance properties. Titanium also meets the hygiene requirements of the food processing industry. Due to the inherent high stress in the geometry of the thin blade required for ultrasonic cutting blade. The high stress required for the cutting head should be achieved through wire cutting technology and subsequent stress relief processes during manufacturing, in order to facilitate the subsequent stress relief process and maximize the tool's service life.

 

Material processing system

 

Automated machinery is needed for proper positioning and movement of food and ultrasonic tools. Automation is the key to achieving the correct position, direction, and cutting speed. Usually, these processing systems utilize servo drive mechanisms to precisely control the speed and position of food and/or cutting tools.
