What’s the Difference Between Cleaning with Solvents and Detergents?

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 aluminum is a highly reactive metal with comparatively soft surfaces, cleaning with an ultrasonic system has to be carefully adapted to the parts to be cleaned and their contaminants. For automotive parts made from hard metals such as steel or cast iron, low-frequency ultrasonic cleaners operating at 19.5 kHz or 26 kHz can deliver […]

When plastic molds are hard to clean, ultrasonic cleaning offers a solution that combines superior cleaning performance with fast cleaning action. Traditional cleaning methods such as manual scrubbing are labor-intensive and often miss contaminants in hard-to-reach places. Ultrasonic cleaning removes contaminants completely, everywhere the cleaning solution can penetrate. When the ultrasonic cleaning system is configured […]

Traditional cleaning of industrial parts, mechanical components and electronics has typically involved soaking in aggressive chemicals, pressure washing and manual scrubbing. These methods can damage the surfaces of the parts to be cleaned, use large quantities of water, are costly and are time-consuming. While some parts can be cleaned adequately in this way, parts with […]

When a business manager considers whether to buy a piece of equipment, an important factor for the decision is the return on investment (ROI). For ultrasonic cleaners, the manager compares the cost of buying the equipment with the anticipated savings. If the savings over two to three years are equal to or greater than the cost […]

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, […]

The term “Precision Cleaning” describes processes that require a clearly defined maximum allowable level of particle, film or impurity contamination on the surfaces to be cleaned. Usually precision cleaning is performed with reference to a standard, such as a particle count or film contamination. Ordinary cleaning means that a substantial amount of the contaminants on […]

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 […]

From delicate parts to large, rust-covered machine components, industrial cleaning needs can be varied and challenging. The best makers of ultrasonic parts cleaners offer both standard and customized solutions, with components that can be mixed and matched to any specific needs. Choosing a system that is configured or customized to meet the needs of the […]

Ultrasonic cleaners provide quick and complete cleaning for parts to be plated or coated, saving time and ensuring superior adhesion. The ultrasonic cleaning process leaves bare surfaces free from contaminants, even in hard-to-reach places such as interior cavities and holes. The use of ultrasonic parts cleaners is completely safe and doesn’t require chemicals to soften or […]
