Golf Club Cleaners

Golf Club Cleaners

Ultrasonic golf club cleaners are not intended for cleaning large particles such as grass blades or dirt clods but is effective at eliminating dirt and grime buildup from the grips, grooves and club face. Dirt that builds up on the face of a golf club can take backspin off the ball and affect the angle and distance of the golfer's shot. As a result, golf club cleaners are a necessary part of the game. Golf club cleaners can get rid of dirt in as little as two minutes. Some golf club cleaners are portable and can be roughly the same size as a golf bag. Many are capable of cleaning up to ten club heads and handles at the same time. Others are larger and often seen used in pro shops to clean a larger amount of clubs. They are often box-like in form and have a tank made out of metal such as stainless steel or aluminum where the clubs are placed in the cleaning solution. A control board and display allow the operator to easily access the power button and set the timer. Simple to install and use, golf club cleaners reach all parts of clubs for a faster and more effective cleaning solution.

All ultrasonic cleaning equipment is at minimum equipped with a transducer, a generator and an immersion tank. The golf club or clubs that require cleaning are placed into the tank which contains an ultrasound conductive fluid. There are three different cleaning mediums commonly used: hot water cleaning, which uses a heated water stream; aqueous cleaning, which uses a water-based ultrasonic cleaning solution; and solvent or vapor cleaning, in which the solvent is evaporated then condensed onto the surface of the parts. The ultrasonic cleaning process begins when there is cavitation. Cavitation is caused by the transducer which for golf club cleaners is attached to the tank. They may also be lowered into the fluid. When the transducer introduces ultrasonic sound waves into the tank, innumerable minute and intense imploding bubbles release both energy and heat to provide a highly efficient method of scrubbing both exposed and concealed surfaces of the immersed parts. There is a direct connection between how the frequency and the number of implosions which allows for a high level of control; high frequencies ideal for the removal of very small particles without harming the surface of the golf club.
