Product description  

The SONOPULS ultrasonic homogenizer is essentially made up of two components: 
the  HF generator, the  ultrasonic transducer, and the working tip ( probe). The individual 
components can be varied using a multitude of options and  accessories. The type speci

fi

 cation 

and serial number are found on the type plate.

Product features:

•  

HF generator (1) in low-maintenance, robust plastic  housing, with connections for the  ultrasonic 
transducer (2). 

•  Operating and display panel (3) with LCD display (4)
•  

Ultrasonic transducer (5) with Start/Stop  button (5a) and ventilation slits (5b)

•  

Probe (6)

Product features on the rear side of the  HF generator:

•  

Mains switch (7)

•  Mains socket (8) with  fuse  holder
•  Recessed grip with storage (9)
