VietSonic Applying Ultrasonic Technology to Solve Oil and Water Mixing in Fish Feed Production

1. Introduction to the problem in fish feed production

In many manufacturing industries, especially food, aquaculture, or chemicals, enterprises often have to process complex solution systems, including:

  • Heterogeneous liquids (e.g., oil and water)
  • Solutions with varying component ratios
  • Systems containing powdered solids that need dispersion

Common problems include:

  • Components being insoluble or difficult to mix evenly
  • Mixtures easily separating into layers after stirring
  • Uneven distribution of solids
  • Direct impact on final product quality

In reality, traditional stirring methods are often insufficient to create a homogeneous mixture, especially with multiphase systems.

2. Practical case at a fish feed manufacturing enterprise

A fish feed manufacturing enterprise encountered the following situation:

  • The solution consisted of various nutritional components
  • Included oil, liquids, and powdered ingredients
  • The mixture was uneven after mixing

When spraying the solution onto the product:

  • Some feed pellets absorbed too much, others too little
  • Inconsistent amount of adhered powder
  • Unstable product quality

This is a typical problem regarding solution homogenization in industry.

3. Solution: Applying ultrasonic technology for homogenization

After surveying and analyzing, VietSonic proposed using ultrasonic technology to solve the problem.

Core principle:

Ultrasonic technology creates high-frequency vibrations in the liquid medium, thereby:

  • Breaking the separation structure between phases
  • Reducing the size of liquid droplets
  • Evenly dispersing solid particles in the solution
  • Creating a more homogeneous mixture compared to mechanical stirring

As a result, a solution system, despite comprising many different components, can be effectively homogenized.

Effectiveness after testing:

When applied in practical testing, the ultrasonic solution delivered:

  • A significantly more uniform solution mixture
  • Reduced layer separation phenomenon
  • Substances dispersed evenly throughout the solution
  • Improved uniformity when sprayed onto the product

The results show that ultrasonic technology is not only suitable for oil – water but is also effective with complex multiphase systems.

4. Deployment into the production line

After confirming the effectiveness, VietSonic and the enterprise collaborated to:

  • Design a suitable ultrasonic mixing system
  • Integrate it into the existing production line
  • Develop schematic diagrams and installation plans

The solution was designed toward overall integration, ensuring stable and continuous operation.

5. Applications of ultrasonic technology in homogenization

This technology can be applied to various systems:

  • Oil – water mixing (emulsification)
  • Powder dispersion in liquids
  • Homogenization of multi-component solutions
  • Solution processing in food, chemicals, and environmental sectors

Conclusion

Solution homogenization in industrial production, especially with multi-component systems (liquid – liquid – solid), is always a challenge. With ultrasonic technology, VietSonic has delivered an effective solution, helping to improve product quality and stabilize production processes.
