Designing an Ultrasonic Cleaning System for Your Application
July 31, 2017
While ultrasonic cleaning systems are an ideal solution for many cleaning applications, they have to be designed with the particular tasks in mind. The operating frequencies of the system and tank size are key factors in selecting a system that will fulfill requirements. The rated power of the ultrasonic system, its flexibility to meet various […]
Read MoreHow Ultrasonic Cleaning Tanks Work
July 19, 2017
Ultrasonic cleaning tanks hold the solution that cleans parts and components through the action of cavitation bubbles generated by the ultrasonic sound waves. An ultrasonic generator produces the electric signal and transducers mounted on the tanks convert the signal into waves in the cleaning liquid. The cavitation bubbles deliver a strong scrubbing action throughout the […]
Read MoreCan My Parts Be Cleaned Using Ultrasonics?
June 29, 2017
Industrial operations often require the cleaning of parts during or at the end of the manufacturing process. Traditionally such cleaning methods use harsh chemicals to dissolve contaminants and mechanical scrubbing to remove tough residue. Cleaning parts in this way is time-consuming and expensive. Even the best traditional cleaning methods are not completely effective and leave […]

Read MoreUltrasonic Cleaning 101: What Are Ultrasonic Waves and How Do They Clean?
June 19, 2017
Ultrasonic cleaning systems use ultrasonic waves to clean parts, tools and equipment quickly and effectively. A typical system is made up of an ultrasonic generator, a transducer and a cleaning tank. The generator produces an electrical signal at the required ultrasonic frequency. Ultrasonic frequencies used range from about 26 kHz to 200 kHz, and a […]
Read MoreUsing an Ultrasonic Cleaning System for 3D Printed Parts
May 30, 2017
Advances in 3D printing have made this new technology widely accessible with broad manufacturing capabilities. The 3D printers work by depositing tiny drops of material in thin layers according to a digital design. The material of the 3D part is usually a type of resin or plastic that is in liquid or paste form when […]
Read MoreHow Ultrasonic Cleaners Utilize Cavitation
May 17, 2017
Ultrasonic cleaning systems use cavitation in cleaning liquids to remove contaminants and surface dirt from a wide variety of parts that need cleaning. Cavitation bubbles are created by the action of sound waves in a cleaning solution. As the ultrasonic sound waves travel through the liquid, bubbles appear in the low-pressure troughs of the waves […]

April 28, 2017
Pharmaceutics manufacturers have challenging cleaning requirements when equipment such as pill punches and filling machine valves are used with different materials or when they become contaminated with mold or bacteria. Traditional cleaning methods with toxic chemicals bring their own contamination issues, and cleaning by shaking and agitation may not penetrate into inaccessible spaces or hard-to-reach […]
Read MoreUsing Ultrasonic Cleaners to Clean Carburetors and Engine Parts of Motorcycles and Autos
April 21, 2017
The carburetors and other related engine parts on older or vintage motorcycles and autos are mostly mechanical devices designed to achieve precise fuel-air mixtures for their internal combustion engines. They are built of valves, chambers, floats, jets and other intricately designed components placed together in fine balance. When a carburetor and other engine parts become greasy […]
Read MoreUsing Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems to Safely and Effectively Clean Circuit Boards
March 28, 2017
Ultrasonic cleaning systems work by utilizing a transducer plate in contact with a cleaning solution to produce cavitation bubbles that scrub the materials to be cleaned. Such systems can remove contaminants from a variety of surfaces and they work more rapidly than conventional cleaning systems. Ultrasonic cleaners are ideally suited for the cleaning of circuit […]
