Density modification |
摘要 |
The present invention relates to a method for modifying the density of a flowable material in need thereof comprising applying highly propagating ultrasonic energy at frequency of between about 16 kHz to about 40 kHz to the material wherein the highly propagating ultrasonic energy is uniformly distributed throughout the material thereby modifying the density of the material. |

1. A method for increasing the density of a flowable material in need thereof comprising:
applying highly propagating ultrasonic energy at a frequency of between about 16 kHz to about 30 kHz to the material, at an amplitude of from about 1 micron to about 20 microns and at an energy density of from about 0.001 watt/cm3 to about 10 watts/cm3, and wherein the highly propagating ultrasonic energy is uniformly distributed throughout the material thereby increasing the density of the material by between about 1% to about 20% compared to the density of the material before the application of the highly propagating ultrasonic energy; wherein said flowable material comprises a liquid material and the highly propagating ultrasonic energy is applied to the material as it flows in a filler or packaging line, and wherein application of the highly propagating ultrasonic energy to the material results in decreased gas levels and increased density in the material. |
