Kaijo Shibuya America Inc. will be exhibiting at SEMICON West 2017, at Booth 5518 North Hall, from July 11-13 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Come by our booth to talk with us and learn how our new Phenix Hyper wave can enhance the uniformity of your ultrasonic cleaning process. Kaijo is an industry leader […]

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 […]

Advances in 3D printing have made this new technology widely accessible with broad manufacturing capabilities. The 3D printers work by depositing tiny drops of material in thin layers according to a digital design. The material of the 3D part is usually a type of resin or plastic that is in liquid or paste form when […]

Ultrasonic cleaning systems use cavitation in cleaning liquids to remove contaminants and surface dirt from a wide variety of parts that need cleaning. Cavitation bubbles are created by the action of sound waves in a cleaning solution. As the ultrasonic sound waves travel through the liquid, bubbles appear in the low-pressure troughs of the waves […]

Pharmaceutics manufacturers have challenging cleaning requirements when equipment such as pill punches and filling machine valves are used with different materials or when they become contaminated with mold or bacteria. Traditional cleaning methods with toxic chemicals bring their own contamination issues, and cleaning by shaking and agitation may not penetrate into inaccessible spaces or hard-to-reach […]

The carburetors and other related engine parts on older or vintage motorcycles and autos are mostly mechanical devices designed to achieve precise fuel-air mixtures for their internal combustion engines. They are built of valves, chambers, floats, jets and other intricately designed components placed together in fine balance. When a carburetor and other engine parts become greasy […]

Ultrasonic cleaning systems work by utilizing a transducer plate in contact with a cleaning solution to produce cavitation bubbles that scrub the materials to be cleaned. Such systems can remove contaminants from a variety of surfaces and they work more rapidly than conventional cleaning systems. Ultrasonic cleaners are ideally suited for the cleaning of circuit […]

Ultrasonic cleaning systems consist of an ultrasonic generator, a transducer and a cleaning tank. The generator produces the electric signal at the selected frequency while the ultrasonic cleaning transducer changes the signal into compression waves in the cleaning solution. The cavitation bubbles that are responsible for the cleaning action of the system appear in the […]

Megasonic cleaning systems use high frequency generators and transducers operating in the MHz range to clean delicate parts such as silicon wafers, and related microelectronic devices. Semiconductor manufacturing processes rely on repeated cleaning operations, and megasonic systems clean more rapidly and more completely than other cleaning methods in many applications. Megasonic cleaning systems are especially […]

Ultrasonic cleaning systems can clean many parts better than other cleaning methods because of the intense scrubbing action of cavitation bubbles generated by the ultrasonic waves. While ultrasonic cleaners often work faster and clean more completely than conventional cleaners, they have to be suited for the cleaning application. Facility managers and other decision makers have to be […]
