Hielscher UIP1000hdT Ultrasonic Homogenizer from China

Hielscher's UIP1000hdT is an industrial ultrasonic processor for emulsification, dispersion, and wet milling through high-intensity ultrasonic cavitation that removes material at a microscopic level. Classified under HTS 8456.20.5000 for 'other' ultrasonic-operated machine tools performing material removal processes beyond semiconductor wafers. Commonly used in food processing, chemicals, and biofuels for particle size reduction.

Import Tips

Provide cavitation frequency specs (typically 20-40 kHz) and power output in invoices to distinguish from non-material-removal ultrasonic cleaners

Comply with FDA or EU food contact regulations if for food/pharma; pitfall is inadequate material certificates delaying food-grade imports

Declare explosion-proof ratings for solvent-based applications to prevent reclassification as hazardous location equipment
