Special Considerations When Cleaning Auto Parts with Ultrasonics

When automotive parts are made from different materials and have several surface contaminants that have to be removed, cleaning with traditional methods can be difficult and time-consuming. Specialized automotive ultrasonic cleaners can be designed to deliver excellent cleaning in a shorter time. To remove specific contaminants, ultrasonic cleaners can work with mild detergents and solvents […]

When used auto engine parts are heavily contaminated with carbon deposits, oil residue, and hardened grease, they have to be cleaned before they can be installed in re-built engines or used in repairs or classic cars. Traditional cleaning methods rely on soaking in solvents or chemicals, pressure washing for surface dirt, and manual scrubbing for […]

When ultrasonic technology is used to clean parts made of several materials, choosing the right ultrasonic cleaner becomes more challenging. Cleaning multi-material assemblies have become common in areas such as the automotive industry, and automotive ultrasonic cleaners have to be configured to handle these tasks. Features, settings, and characteristics of the ultrasonic systems have to […]

When the automotive industry uses traditional cleaning methods to clean oily and greasy parts, it’s time-consuming and expensive. Ultrasonic cleaners deliver better cleaning performance in less time and at a low operating cost. Once an automotive manufacturing facility or parts shop switches to ultrasonic cleaners, they quickly become indispensable because the benefits are so extensive. […]

When industrial parts have to be cleaned, the use of ultrasonic cleaners with detergents offers several advantages over the more traditional cleaning methods of using solvent baths. Used by themselves, detergents have a reputation for not being strong enough to remove tough contaminants, whereas powerful solvents that are matched to the material to be removed […]

Because cleaning engine blocks with traditional methods is time-consuming and difficult, the use of ultrasonic cleaners is attractive. Ultrasonic technology removes heavy surface dirt completely, and quickly cleans down to the original surface. Ultrasonic cleaners don’t rely on harsh chemicals or lengthy soaking. Instead, they clean safely and without monitoring. Powerful automotive ultrasonic cleaners can clean even […]

Because automotive parts may be contaminated by the manufacturing process, automotive manufacturers have to clean the parts they produce before using them, processing them further or sending them out to customers. Cleaning automotive parts with complex shapes or hard-to-access cavities can be expensive and time-consuming. Fragile parts and parts with delicate coatings may be damaged […]

Small engine parts that are new, refurbished or repaired may be contaminated with engine deposits, shop dirt or material from the manufacturing process. These small parts are hard to clean with traditional methods because they often have complicated shapes and may be contaminated with hard-to-remove oil, grease or carbon deposits. Ultrasonic cleaners designed for use […]

When racing car engines need to be maintained to provide peak performance, automotive ultrasonic cleaners deliver superior cleaning performance for engine parts prior to re-installation. For auto racing, components such as pistons, engine heads, differentials, transmissions and coolers have to be kept free of carbon deposits, solidified grease and other contaminants. Engines and drive trains work better […]

The automotive industry has varied cleaning requirements for automotive parts and re-built components. Cleaning applications may range from rugged engine parts with hard steel surfaces to more delicate parts with special finishes or coatings. Automotive ultrasonic cleaners can be custom-designed to handle such special applications, and customized systems can often deliver improved cleaning performance. Kaijo has extensive […]
