This Half-wave Booster Half-wave Barbell Horn® (HBHB) is designed for the ISP-3000/3600 ultrasonic processor configured in the batch or flow-through mode and has the output tip diameter of 45 mm. Barbell Horns® amplify ultrasonic amplitudes while maintaining large output tip diameters, which makes it possible to directly scale up high-intensity ultrasonic processes.
Lead time to shipping: 1 week.

Q1. How are Barbell Horns® different from other ultrasonic horns, probes or sonotrodes?
Barbell Horn® Ultrasonic Technology (BHUT) makes it possible to directly scale up an ultrasonic process without reducing the amplitude (and the resulting cavitation intensity) provided by a horn. This permits obtaining reproducible post-scale-up results, where productivity rates increase by orders of magnitude while the highest finished product quality is maintained. The below video explains it in greater detail:
Q2. Are ultrasonic horns consumable parts that need to be replaced? How long does a horn last?
Ultrasonic horns are consumable parts that need to be periodically replaced. On average, a horn should last between 100 and 500 hours of processing. Working with aggressive chemicals (e.g., acids), under challenging physical conditions (e.g., with abrasive particles), at high ultrasonic amplitudes or at elevated pressures, however, can shorten a horn's lifetime significantly. On the other hand, horns used with most organic solvents, oils or waxes generally last much longer.
If you are operating in production mode, we recommend that you keep a spare horn.
Q3. Can I use this HBHB horn for both batch and flow-through processing with a reactor chamber (flow-cell)?
Yes. This HBHB horn is designed for batch-mode processing in a reservoir containing 1 - 10 L of liquid as well as for flow-through processing with a compatible reactor chamber.
Q4. Can I use this HBHB horn with one of your other systems (LSP-600 or BSP-1200)?
No. This HBHB horn can only used with the ISP-3000/3600 ultrasonic processor.
