Why Ultrasonic Cleaners Are Used in the Medical Industry
October 23, 2019
Because medical devices are often delicate but have to be cleaned to a high standard, ultrasonic cleaners are an ideal solution, offering gentle cleaning and complete removal of contaminants. Many medical devices can’t be exposed to the heat, chemicals and mechanical scrubbing used in traditional cleaning methods. This means that either costly disposable devices and […]
Read MoreSelecting the Right Ultrasonic Tank and Transducer for Your Application
October 10, 2019
Ultrasonic cleaning systems are made up of an ultrasonic generator to produce the electric ultrasonic frequency, a transducer to convert the electric signal to sound waves and a tank to hold the cleaning solution. The choice of the transducer and cleaning tank influences how the ultrasonic cleaning system can be used and what parts can […]
Read MoreHow Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems Eliminate Manufacturing Production Delays
September 24, 2019
Incomplete cleaning of tools and parts used in manufacturing production lines can lead to down times and slow operation. When parts such as injection molds are not cleaned completely, products may be defective, and the molds might be damaged. Finding and solving such cleaning problems reduces manufacturing line productivity and results in production delays. The […]
Read MoreWhat Are the Advantages of Turn-Key Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems?
September 10, 2019
The three major components of an ultrasonic cleaning system are the ultrasonic generator, the transducers and the cleaning tank. Customers can buy these components separately but they have to make sure the various characteristics and specifications match. If the frequencies, power, tank size and other variables are not chosen correctly, the performance of the system […]
Read MoreHow Megasonic Cleaners Improve Semiconductor Processing
August 21, 2019
Semiconductor manufacturing involves a large number of process steps that etch silicon wafers and deposit thin films. Between the steps, the silicon wafers have to be cleaned to remove traces of chemicals and particles in preparation for the subsequent step. Cleaning is usually done with powerful chemicals such as acids and peroxides that remove undesirable […]
Read MoreCan Ultrasonic Cleaners Clean Aluminum Parts?
July 23, 2019
Parts with hard surfaces such as those made from steel or brass are easy to clean with ultrasonic cleaners and low frequencies can clean these parts very quickly. For aluminum parts, getting rapid and effective cleaning without damaging the parts is more difficult. Aluminum is a softer metal and surfaces can suffer pitting in ultrasonic […]
Read MoreHow Ultrasonic Transducers Work and Are Used in Industrial Cleaning Applications
July 8, 2019
In industrial ultrasonic cleaning systems, a generator produces the electric high-frequency signal and a transducer converts the signal into physical sound waves in the cleaning solution. Depending on the application, ultrasonic cleaning transducers can handle different frequencies and deliver enough power to fill the cleaning tank with ultrasonic waves. For existing tanks, moveable immersible transducers […]
Read MoreImportant Questions Customers Ask About Using Ultrasonic Cleaners
June 11, 2019
1. When Should I Use an Ultrasonic Cleaner? You should use an ultrasonic cleaner when you want quick and complete cleaning action without the use of harsh chemicals or mechanical scrubbing. To get the best possible performance, it is important to choose the right type of ultrasonic cleaner. Key cleaner characteristics include the frequency, power, […]
Read MoreUsing Industrial Ultrasonic Cleaners to Clean Disk Drives
May 23, 2019
Disk drive components such as the aluminum disk platter blanks and the metal read/write heads are manufactured in standard industrial facilities. The processes for their fabrication include stamping, machining, punching, polishing and molding using industrial chemicals for cooling, lubrication and as abrasives. Although most of these chemicals are removed in the final stages of manufacturing, […]
Read MoreWhy Are Higher Ultrasonic Cleaning Frequencies Required?
May 10, 2019
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 […]
