In today’s advanced industrial environment, achieving peak efficiency is intertwined with maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness. Ultrasonic cleaning technology has transformed modern industrial practices, offering precise and effective solutions. The time required […]

The effective and efficient cleaning of manufactured parts represents a significant challenge in industrial processes where output quality depends on part cleanliness. Traditional cleaning methods such as manual scraping and scrubbing, soaking in chemicals, or pressure washing are expensive and time-consuming. Workers may injure themselves using sharp or pointed tools. Exposure to chemicals can be […]

When improving output quality runs into cost and efficiency issues, ultrasonic cleaning technology can offer a solution. Removing contaminants from parts and components during manufacturing is costly and sometimes incomplete, but the cleanliness of these parts often impacts product quality. Ultrasonic cleaning removes contaminants quickly and completely, even from hard-to-reach places and rough surfaces. Operating […]

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 […]

Ultrasonic cleaners are a fast and safe way to clean a variety of parts without expensive and hazardous chemicals or mechanical scrubbing. The process is faster than traditional cleaning methods and cleaning performance is improved because even complicated shapes and hard-to-access areas can be cleaned effectively. Workplaces are safer and production lines can have a […]

Coatings of grime, grease and sludge are only some of the stubborn contaminants that industries everywhere struggle with. The conventional approach to the cleaning and maintenance of equipment has always been environmentally hazardous, involved harsh chemicals, difficult protective equipment for workers, and costly compliance procedures. Few alternatives have proven viable. Ultrasonic cleaning technology today, however, […]

Ultrasonic parts cleaners use ultrasonic frequency generators and transducers to create tiny bubbles in water or a mild detergent solution. The bubbles produce a microscopic scrubbing action that is highly effective in removing surface contaminants from solid metal surfaces such as brass and stainless steel. Traditional cleaning methods using harsh chemicals and mechanical scrubbing are […]

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 […]
