Ultrasonic cleaners quickly remove contamination from part surfaces, but using the right frequency is important. If the ultrasonic frequency of the cleaning system is too high, cleaning could be less effective and take longer. If it is too low, delicate parts could be damaged. Ultrasonic cleaning systems are extremely versatile and can excel at most […]

Ultrasonic generators produce the high-frequency electrical signal that powers the ultrasonic transducers immersed in the cleaning solution. The transducers are passive in the sense that they merely convert the electrical signal into sound waves. The generator handles all the control functions and is responsible for determining the frequencies used, the power output and the frequency […]

Machined parts come out of production contaminated with a variety of substances. If they have been machined using lubricants, traces of these may remain on the part. The parts may pick up dirt from the shop environment and machining sometimes leaves particles on the machined surfaces. Such contamination is especially harmful if the machined part […]

While selecting the right operating frequency for industrial ultrasonic cleaners is important, the equipment size and options are critical for obtaining excellent cleaning performance. Depending on the cleaning application, either a flexible system or a system designed for one particular task may be best, and selecting the corresponding options will influence how the system can […]

Ultrasonic cleaning is an excellent solution to many cleaning applications. The ultrasonic process removes contaminants from a variety of parts and works without strong, aggressive chemicals. It is compact, needing only a tank slightly larger than the parts to be cleaned, and it works more rapidly than other cleaning methods. Ultrasonic cleaning is completely safe […]

The term “Precision Cleaning” describes processes that require a clearly defined maximum allowable level of particle, film or impurity contamination on the surfaces to be cleaned. Usually precision cleaning is performed with reference to a standard, such as a particle count or film contamination. Ordinary cleaning means that a substantial amount of the contaminants on […]

While ultrasonic cleaning systems include generators, transducers and a cleaning tank, it is the ultrasonic generator that determines the main characteristics of the system. Therefore, choosing the properultrasonic generator is important for obtaining the specified performance. The generator has to have the right operating specifications and capabilities required for the cleaning application. The transducers and […]

Metal finishing involves applying coatings or treatments to metal part surfaces, changing the metal part’s characteristics, hardening the surfaces or inhibiting corrosion. For the metal finishing process to be successful, the underlying metal surfaces have to be completely clean. If contaminants such as grease or oil are present, the metal coatings may not adhere properly […]

Flat panel glass is used in many flat screen products and its processing relies on a wide variety of manufacturing steps that apply coatings, add semiconductor functions and carry out special treatments of the glass. The manufacturing steps often leave process residues and the glass itself can pick up dirt and contaminants from the shop […]

When you set out to find the best possible cleaning solution for your industrial application, you’re likely to come up against two common choices: agitation cleaning and ultrasonic cleaning. These methods work on a shared principle — the ultrasonic method involves cleaning action that is best characterized as a form of agitation. Nevertheless industrial ultrasonic […]
