ALUPRO-MPI Ultrasonics Inc. has developed a new technology that applies high power ultrasonic energy to large, heavy irregular mass or un-tuned mechanical systems such as extruder, drawing die, mold tools, metal melt mixer, continuous casting, homogenizing, degassing with using a sialon (silicon nitride) sonotrode, alloying, very fine and homogenous micro-crystallization, sintering, etc.

Alupro-MPI Ultrasonics is looking for partners who are willing to invest in the manufacturing of a new ultrasonic degassing box for the molten aluminum industry.

 The project would include:

• Development of a new ultrasonic electronics and a system feedback concept that allows real-time adaptation to continuously evolving acoustic conditions.
• Capability to ultrasonically drive any arbitrary shape or large mechanical system at high energy if needed.
• Ultrasonic driving of system harmonics and subharmonics gives a wideband multi-frequency effect that improves stimulation of the system.
• Elimination of ultrasonic standing waves gives uniform treatment of material.
