Industrial Ultrasonic Cutters: 20–40 kHz Handheld, Rotary & Food Cutting Systems

Sino Sonics builds industrial ultrasonic cutters that slice rubber, plastic, composites and food with clean edges and minimal deformation. Vibration does the cutting, not pressure, so sticky, elastic and frozen materials do not smear or crack.

Compare Sino Sonics Ultrasonic Cutter Models

Start with the shape of the part and the way it will be fed into the cutter. The handheld unit suits lab work and industrial jobs where an operator guides the blade. The rotary cutter has a cylindrical body for robot arms and plotters, and its 360° rotation is useful when the cut has to follow a contour. For a food production line, start with the food blade and the required cutting width. For continuous production or a PLC-controlled line, request a quote for an integrated system.

Which Frequency Should You Choose?

Use the table as a starting point. Heavy rubber, tyre materials and honeycomb generally point toward 20 kHz. For general-purpose work in plastics or non-woven material, start with the 25–30 kHz range. If precision trimming or low noise is the priority, look at 40 kHz. For a material that is difficult to classify, tell us the thickness and send a sample so we can check the cut before recommending a system.

Frequency Typical materials Why
20 kHz Rubber, tyre material, honeycomb, thick composites Larger amplitude, heavy-duty cutting
25–30 kHz ABS, PE, PVC, PC, acrylic, non-woven, fibreboard General purpose, default choice
40 kHz Thin films, fine textiles, precision trimming Smaller amplitude, lower noise

Technical Specifications

Standard Handheld Cutter

The handheld cutter combines automatic resonance tracking with automatic amplitude compensation. It offers continuous, pulse and timed continuous modes. When you ask about a replacement blade, include the material you cut and the blade shape you need. The 3–6 month service-life figure is approximate.

Item Specification
Frequency tracking Automatic resonance tracking, 19–26 kHz
Amplitude Automatic compensation when material load changes
Modes Continuous · Pulse · Timed continuous
Power options 600 / 800 / 900 / 1000 W
Blade Replaceable tungsten carbide, service life about 3–6 months

Rotary 30 kHz Cutter

The rotary model is the starting point when the cutter needs to turn as it follows the workpiece. The 42 mm cylinder is intended for robotic or plotter mounting. Tell us how the cutter will be mounted and what material it will follow so we can discuss the blade and power configuration. The listed maximum and standard power are separate specifications.

Item Specification
Input 100–240 V, 50–60 Hz
Frequency 30 kHz, real-time display
Power 1200 W max (600 W standard), adjustable 1%–100%
Control 4.7″ touch screen, 10 user programs, Pulse / Time / Continuous
Body 42 mm diameter cylinder, 360° rotation
Blade High-speed steel or titanium alloy, replaceable
In the box 30 kHz / 1200 W generator, cutter with blade, power cord, 3 fuses, 3 m cable

Food Cutter Blade

Choose the blade width to match the product and cut pattern. A bakery line cutting cake or biscuits may need a different shape from a line cutting blocks of cheese or frozen food. When requesting a food cutter quote, tell us the width and shape you need and whether you want an assembly or a complete system.

Item Specification
Frequency 20 kHz
Blade width 150 / 170 / 200 / 250 / 305 mm
Blade tip Titanium alloy or Teflon non-stick coating
Supply Transducer + booster assembly, or complete cutting system. Custom blade sizes available.

What Materials Can You Cut?

Use the material examples below to start a conversation about your application. Where you have several materials or thicknesses, identify which samples you want us to test and the cut you want to achieve on each. This gives you a direct basis for comparing the returned samples and video.

What it cutsABS, PE, PVC, PC, acrylic, PP, nylon, polyurethane, neoprene, rubber and silicone, non-woven fabric, Kevlar, fibreglass resin, corrugated board, plywood, honeycomb aluminium, plus cake, cheese and frozen food.
What it does not cutSolid aluminium sheet. Honeycomb aluminium is fine.

Warranty, Trial Cutting and Ordering

Send the material name, part thickness and expected production volume with your enquiry. If you are replacing a cutter on an existing line, include whether the blade is guided by hand, mounted on a robot or used in a PLC-controlled system. For an OEM or ODM request, share the blade shape and the point where the cutter will fit in your process.

How the Free Trial Cut Works

Tell us what you want to check before sending material. If edge quality is your priority, describe the edge you need. For a shaped part, identify where the blade should enter and leave the material. Our team uses those details to select the frequency and blade shape for the trial.

Prepare Your Cutting Enquiry

For a handheld job, describe the part and tell us which materials you cut most often. For a rotary or integrated machine, tell us whether you are using a robot, a plotter or a PLC-controlled line, and whether the cut follows a straight edge or a contour. For food cutting, include the product shape, the blade width you need and whether the product is frozen.

If you are comparing several models, send the same material and thickness for each trial. Review both the video and the returned samples before choosing. You can discuss the edge quality, frequency and blade shape with us when requesting a quote.
