Cavitation Technologies, Inc. is a small industrial company that builds machines using a process called hydrodynamic cavitation — essentially using high-speed fluid pressure to mix, clean, or process liquids more efficiently. Its core products are flow-through devices used in industries like food and beverage processing, water treatment, and oil refining. The company sells its technology to industrial customers who want to reduce energy use or improve the quality of their liquid-based processes.

The company earns revenue primarily through equipment sales and licensing agreements, which explains its 100% gross margin on certain deals. It operates mainly in the United States but has pursued international partnerships to expand its reach. Cavitation Technologies is very small, with a market cap near zero, meaning it carries significant financial risk — the deeply negative operating margin signals it spends far more than it earns. The key challenge ahead is scaling commercial adoption of its technology fast enough to reach sustainable profitability before running out of resources.
