Operating Principle

The M-110P contains an on-board 2 horsepower (1.5 kw) electric-hydraulic module that powers a single acting intensifier pump. The intensifier pump amplifies the hydraulic pressure to the selected level which, in turn, imparts that pressure to the product stream. Process pressures ranging from 2000 to 30,000 psi may be selected with the simple turn of a knob.

The intensifier pump is designed to supply the desired pressure at a constant rate to the product stream. As the pump travels through its pressure stroke, it drives the product at constant pressure through the interaction chamber. Within the chamber are specially designed fixed-geometry micro-channels through which the product stream will accelerate to high velocities. This creates high shear and impact forces that bring about the desired results as the high velocity product stream impinges on itself and on wear-resistant surfaces.
As the intensifier pump completes its pressure stroke, it reverses direction and draws in a new volume of product. At the end of the intake stroke, it reverses direction and again drives the product at constant pressure, repeating the process.

Upon exiting the interaction chamber, the product flows through an external heat exchanger which regulates the product to a desired temperature. At this point the product may be recirculated through the system for further processing or directed externally to the next step in the process.
