Ultrasonic cleaning represents an ideal solution for many medical applications because ultrasonic cleaners deliver rapid and complete cleaning without the use of hazardous chemicals. Medical implants, surgical instruments and other medical devices can be cleaned in an ultrasonic bath of plain water or with a disinfecting solution. Even devices with complex shapes, interior cavities or […]

Automotive parts generally have hard surfaces and are comparatively rugged. This allows ultrasonic cleaning to take place at the lower end of the ultrasonic frequency spectrum where the powerful cleaning action might damage more fragile components. Within that lower range, there is still room for optimizing cleaning performance by exactly matching the ultrasonic frequency to […]

Medical 3D printing is used to produce instruments, implants and prostheses but all these products have to be completely clean before being used. This is especially true of implants and instruments that are inserted into the body during surgery. Any contamination can result in infections and ultimately failure of the implant procedure. Medical ultrasonic cleaners […]

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 […]

Aluminum engine parts may require routine cleaning or the removal of contaminants prior to re-building. Because aluminum is softer than steel, scrubbing or scraping to remove tough deposits can damage the aluminum surface. Soaking in strong solvents may soften deposits and remove some contaminants but manual or mechanical cleaning is usually required to clean residues. […]

Most automotive parts can be cleaned quickly and completely with an ultrasonic cleaning system. The microscopic bubbles created in the cleaning solution by the ultrasonic waves deliver a powerful scrubbing action that removes contaminants from part surfaces and dislodges residues. Top parts suitable for ultrasonic cleaning include cylinder heads, fuel injectors, carburetors, brake cylinders and […]

Medical equipment has to be cleaned to the highest standards while making sure that the cleaning process does not damage medical equipment components. Commonly used sterilization techniques such as steaming will cause electronics to fail and mechanical scrubbing can damage delicate parts. Specialized medical ultrasonic cleaners effectively remove surface contaminants quickly and completely. If the […]

Ultrasonic cleaning can remove impurities and contaminants from the surfaces of machined components, sheet metal parts and other items assembled to make up finished automotive products. Such cleaning is required because many parts come out of the manufacturing process with oil, grease or shop dirt on their surfaces. Traditional cleaning methods use harsh chemicals, extensive […]

Almost any item can be cleaned with an industrial ultrasonic cleaner as long as it can be immersed in a cleaning tank of water and then dried after cleaning. Low frequencies deliver powerful cleaning action for removing heavy deposits and dirt from engine components and machine parts. Higher frequencies use a gentle cleaning action for […]

Healthcare industry tools, devices and equipment have to satisfy exceptionally high standards of cleanliness but many are difficult to clean. Items that are re-used may be contaminated with bacteria or other foreign matter but the devices are often delicate with complex shapes. Harsh chemicals and solvents can’t be used because their handling endangers medical personnel […]
