ULTRASONIC CLEANING

WHAT IS ULTRASONIC CLEANING?

Ultrasonic cleaning is a highly effective method for removing contaminants such as grease, dirt, oils, and particles from a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, glass, and ceramics. It uses high-frequency sound waves, typically in the range of 20–40 kHz, to create microscopic bubbles in a liquid cleaning solution. These bubbles implode upon contact with surfaces, generating tiny but powerful cleaning forces that reach into even the smallest crevices.

    • Thorough cleaning: Reaches into tiny holes, grooves, and crevices for complete removal of contaminants.

    • Non-destructive: Gentle on delicate or intricate components that may be damaged by manual cleaning.

    • Time-efficient: Cleans multiple items simultaneously, reducing labor and processing time.

    • Versatile: Effective on a wide range of materials and contaminants.

    • Environmentally friendly: Uses biodegradable cleaning solutions and reduces the need for harsh chemicals.

    • Consistent results: Delivers uniform cleaning across parts for enhanced quality and reliability.

  • Typical Ultrasonic Cleaning Process

    1. Preparation:

      • Select the appropriate cleaning solution for the material and contaminants.

      • Fill the ultrasonic cleaning tank with the solution.

    2. Loading:

      • Place items in the cleaning basket or directly into the tank, ensuring they are not touching each other to allow full exposure to the sound waves.

    3. Cleaning:

      • Activate the ultrasonic machine, setting the required frequency and time based on the material and level of contamination.

      • The machine generates ultrasonic waves that create cavitation bubbles to clean the surfaces.

    4. Rinsing:

      • Remove the items and rinse them with water to eliminate any residual cleaning solution.

    5. Drying:

      • Dry the cleaned items using air drying, heat, or other methods to prevent water spots or residue.

    6. Inspection:

      • Check the items to ensure they are fully cleaned and meet the required standards
