Automotive parts are often subject to heavy, hard-to-remove contamination with oil, grease and carbon deposits. Traditional cleaning methods include removing some deposits manually and soaking, spraying, brushing and scraping the parts. These cleaning methods are time-consuming, require a heavy use of chemicals and water and can damage part surfaces. Ultrasonic cleaning of automotive parts is […]

Biotechnology companies have special needs for cleanliness of parts and equipment and for cleaning applications that don’t contaminate biotechnology processes. Parts such as tanks, containers, sieves, tubes and sensors often have to be completely free of contamination before being used in a biotechnology application. Using harsh chemicals to clean parts may leave deposits that can […]

Ultrasonic cleaning systems offer superior cleaning performance as well as a cleaner environmental footprint. Where traditional cleaning methods use toxic chemicals and require manual scrubbing or other mechanical cleaning, ultrasonic cleaners use plain water or mild detergents to clean parts quickly and completely. The work environment is safer for workers and free of aggressive chemicals […]

Industrial ultrasonic cleaners can efficiently clean a variety of parts, delivering excellent cleaning performance while reducing costs. The mechanical scrubbing action of microscopic cavitation bubbles produced by the ultrasonic cleaning system cleans rapidly. It removes contaminants from the surfaces of parts made of varying materials and with many different shapes. Such cleaning takes place without […]

Effective cleaning of parts with industrial ultrasonic cleaners depends on matching the system frequency to the parts to be cleaned and to the material to be removed. Low frequencies deliver high-energy cleaning for robust parts with hard surfaces and for heavy contamination. Cleaning with mid-range frequencies is for more fragile components but the systems can […]

The use of de-ionized water can improve the cleaning performance of many applications using ultrasonic cleaning systems and for rinsing cleaned components. For lightly contaminated parts or for parts that can withstand the robust cleaning of low ultrasonic frequencies, cleaning with ordinary water is often enough. For parts that are more heavily contaminated or for […]

Metal components can suffer from rust and corrosion unless they are specially protected. Even stainless steel can deteriorate if the outer layer of chromium oxide is disrupted. Metal finishing processes such as passivation help prevent corrosion by increasing the thickness of the protective oxide layer and making sure it is continuous. In order for metal […]

Solar Panels are made from silicon wafers which have gone through an etching and cleaning process and then mounted behind glass sheets. Several of the intermediate steps require cleaning of the silicon wafers and glass sheets. Ultrasonic cleaning systems effectively remove contaminants and residues quickly and completely while leaving the underlying silicon wafers or glass […]

High frequency ultrasonic cleaners are needed when the parts to be cleaned are delicate and easily damaged. Ultrasonic cleaning systems use the scrubbing action of microscopic cavitation bubbles to clean dirt and contaminants from the surfaces of parts. Low frequency systems generate large bubbles that deliver robust cleaning while high frequencies produce smaller bubbles and […]

Contrary to traditional cleaning methods that require extensive handling of parts, scrubbing them and soaking them in harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaning lets workers place the parts in a water-based solution and leave them there for a short period until they are clean. With ultrasonic parts cleaners, employees are safe from accidents involving sharp part edges […]
