While ultrasonic cleaners represent a significant investment, they can save money and improve the overall performance operations of the business. The cleaning performance of ultrasonic cleaners is often superior to that of traditional cleaning methods. Depending on the business processes involved, ultrasonic cleaners may increase workplace safety and reduce costs. Compliance with environmental regulations is […]

While low ultrasonic frequencies are commonly used to clean metal surfaces, they can’t be used with aluminum parts. Aluminum is a relatively soft metal, and using low ultrasonic frequencies can result in surface pitting and damage to aluminum parts. Although using higher frequencies may mean the cleaning process is slower, additional measures can help speed […]

One thing industrial and commercial operations such as manufacturing, warehouse, research, and service facilities have in common is that they need to maintain equipment. Depending on the manufacturing process, there can be machines for casting, cutting, and stamping that need to be cleaned. Contaminants have to be removed from process tanks and storage containers. Valves […]

You can clean most types of electronics with an ultrasonic cleaner, but there are a few restrictions. Electronics that can be cleaned in an ultrasonic bath include circuit boards, electronic instruments, many electronic devices, and electronic components. Some need cleaning during the manufacturing process. Others must be cleaned because they gather dust and dirt that […]

The International Manufacturing Trade Show (IMTS) is on September 12-17, 2022 in Chicago, Illinois. IMTS is where the creators, the builders, the sellers, and the drivers ofmanufacturing technology come to connect and be inspired. Industry professionals visit IMTS to discover the latest innovations in digital traditional manufacturing and machining technologies to learn about processes that […]

When ultrasonic cleaning is difficult due to stubborn contaminants or because the parts to be cleaned are made up of several different materials, an even distribution of cavitation bubbles can help. Optimized bubble formation and distribution can substantially increase cleaning intensity without creating more energetic bubbles that might damage part surfaces. Kaijo has developed the […]

When traditional cleaning methods such as soaking in chemicals, hand scrubbing and manual scraping don’t deliver the desired results, ultrasonic technology offers an alternative. The key question becomes, which parts are best cleaned with an ultrasonic cleaner. The cleaner has to be selected with the right characteristics, but beyond that, ultrasonic cleaning is more effective […]

While choosing the correct frequency for an ultrasonic cleaning application remains important, some parts can be difficult to clean well. Parts may be made of different materials, have complex shapes, or the contaminants may adhere strongly to the part surfaces. Some parts have large, heavy masses with thin, fragile arms while others have microscopic structures […]

When ultrasonic cleaners operate at the right frequency for a cleaning application, they can deliver superior cleaning performance, but in some cases, the cleaning is uneven because there are dead spots in the cleaning tank. To avoid uneven cleaning, the ultrasonic cleaning system has to make sure the peaks and valleys of the ultrasonic waves […]

When high-tech medical devices and instruments such as implants, probes, and surgical tools have to be cleaned and sterilized before use, traditional autoclave methods often can’t be used. The high temperature of steam cleaning and the moisture of an autoclave can damage delicate coatings and electronics. Ultrasonic cleaning at room temperatures in disinfectant baths delivers […]
