When ultrasonic technology is used to clean parts made of several materials, choosing the right ultrasonic cleaner becomes more challenging. Cleaning multi-material assemblies have become common in areas such as the automotive industry, and automotive ultrasonic cleaners have to be configured to handle these tasks. Features, settings, and characteristics of the ultrasonic systems have to […]

Experts from Kaijo-Shibuya will be at the 2021 WESTEC trade show booth #1856 in Long Beach, CA, November 16-18, 2021 to talk about how Kaijo’s Phenix+ and Phenix Hyper ultrasonic cleaning systems can handle some of the most challenging cleaning problems when other ultrasonic cleaners fail.  The secret? Frequency selection is key! REGISTER NOW! Why […]

When ultrasonic cleaning doesn’t deliver the expected rapid and complete cleaning performance, it’s usually because the cleaning system is not configured to match the cleaning task. Characteristics such as frequency and power have to be specified correctly for the system to work properly. If the ultrasonic cleaner does not match the cleaning application, cleaning can […]

When the automotive industry uses traditional cleaning methods to clean oily and greasy parts, it’s time-consuming and expensive. Ultrasonic cleaners deliver better cleaning performance in less time and at a low operating cost. Once an automotive manufacturing facility or parts shop switches to ultrasonic cleaners, they quickly become indispensable because the benefits are so extensive. […]

While ultrasonic cleaning works best on parts with hard surfaces, such as those made of metal, many parts with softer surfaces can still be cleaned ultrasonically as well. Most plastic parts have comparatively soft surfaces and many have other characteristics that make them less suitable for ultrasonic cleaning. Parts made of light, soft plastic with […]

Because new technologies have made medical devices harder to clean, medical manufacturers have to explore better ways to clean and sterilize medical equipment. High-pressure steam cleaning and autoclave sterilizing can’t be used for devices that include electronics or other heat-sensitive components. Manual scrubbing traditionally used to remove heavy contamination can scratch fragile optical parts and […]

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 […]

When surgical tools and instruments are difficult to clean and sterilize with traditional methods, ultrasonic cleaners can deliver excellent cleaning and sterilizing performance. Some instruments, such as laparoscopes used in minimally invasive surgery, may have heat-sensitive components and can’t be sterilized in an autoclave. Instruments may have complex shapes with areas impossible to reach with […]

Medical instruments, devices, and equipment designed for repeated use have to be cleaned and sterilized after each patient. Traditional cleaning has consisted of manual scrubbing and wiping together with steam cleaning. Sterilization then takes place at high temperatures in an autoclave. Modern medical equipment often includes electronics and other heat-sensitive components. Instruments may have interior […]
