Ultrasonic Cleaning Equipment
Ultrasonic cleaning equipment consists of a number of specialized cleaning machines that are used in order to clean a variety of parts and products. This ultrasonic cleaning equipment uses millions of tiny bubbles to create a form of scrubbing. The scrubbing action reaches into grooves and hidden parts of products that are immersed into an agitated fluid, either pure water, solvent, or vapor. The frequencies of the sound waves are used in the ultrasonic cleaning equipment to adjust the size and amount of cavitation, which is the formation and collapse of the bubbles.
Ultrasonic cleaning equipment is used in a variety of both commercial and industrial applications. Jewelry cleaning, window blind cleaning, and golf club cleaning are completed with commercial ultrasonic cleaning equipment. Industrial applications include automotive parts, critical and precision cleaning, and pre- and postproduction cleaning. Generally, ultrasonic cleaning systems are used to clean, rinse, and dry batches of parts.
Important advantages of using ultrasonic cleaning equipment are their accuracy, consistency, and speed. Ultrasonic cleaning equipment is also more environmentally-friendly than using chemical solvents or hazardous chemicals. Unfortunately, tightly bonded soils, greases, and contaminants cannot always be removed with the use of ultrasonic cleaning equipment alone, but combining aqueous cleaning techniques with ultrasonic cleaning technology has been found to be an effective and environmentally-safe method of cleaning.
