Tuning into the Right Frequency for Your Ultrasonic Cleaning Application

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Ultrasonic generators produce the high-frequency electric signal that is required for an ultrasonic cleaning system to operate effectively. The devices are powered by normal 60 KHz electric circuits and use electronics to generate ultrasonic frequencies between about 20 kHz and 1 MHz. Piezoelectric or magnetorestrictive transducers convert the electric signal to ultrasonic waves in the […]

Industrial ultrasonic cleaners come in several different types with various configurations and characteristics that are determined by the cleaning application. The size of the cleaning system, its power, its frequency and its controls all influence the system’s cleaning capabilities. Selecting the right type of industrial ultrasonic cleaner is critical to obtaining the best cleaning performance […]

Kaijo’s new Phenix Hyper ultrasonic cleaning generator along with the Hyper immersible transducer deliver improved cleaning performance using the latest ultrasonic technology. The generator can be used with the standard sweep frequency mode but also features the new Hyper mode that improves cleaning effectiveness with a uniform ultrasonic pattern that completely fills the process tank. […]

The ultrasonic generator is at the heart of ultrasonic cleaning systems as it produces the high-frequency signal that the ultrasonic transducers convert to sound waves in the cleaning solution. In addition to generating the signal, the unit can control the frequency and the power, produce several or a range of frequencies and act as part […]

Manufacturing companies often have a variety of cleaning needs for a wide range of items. They may need to clean parts and components during or at the end of the manufacturing process.  In addition they may need to regularly clean their manufacturing tools and equipment. Parts need to be cleaned before use or containers before and […]

Ultrasonic cleaning is an effective alternative to cleaning parts and components using chemicals, agitation and scrubbing. The bubbles produced by an ultrasonic generator can clean stains and contaminants with robust cleaning action at low ultrasonic frequencies while high frequency cleaning can remove microscopic particles with gentle cleaning action. Ultrasonic cleaning is fast, cost effective and […]
