When components for medical devices are not cleaned at every stage of the manufacturing process, the components may introduce contaminants into the medical environment. Ultrasonic cleaning of these components ensures that they are free from harmful particles and dangerous substances when they are incorporated into the medical device. Manual cleaning may miss hard-to-reach areas and […]

When plastic molds are hard to clean, ultrasonic cleaning offers a solution that combines superior cleaning performance with fast cleaning action. Traditional cleaning methods such as manual scrubbing are labor-intensive and often miss contaminants in hard-to-reach places. Ultrasonic cleaning removes contaminants completely, everywhere the cleaning solution can penetrate. When the ultrasonic cleaning system is configured […]

The cleaning of re-usable instruments, medical devices and implants during medical industry operations is critical but often difficult. Manual pre-cleaning is time-consuming and may damage delicate instruments. Steam cleaning and heat-sterilization are effective but can’t be used on temperature-sensitive components such as optical fibers and electronic sensors. Many of these instruments have complex shapes and […]

The automotive industry has varied cleaning requirements for automotive parts and re-built components. Cleaning applications may range from rugged engine parts with hard steel surfaces to more delicate parts with special finishes or coatings. Automotive ultrasonic cleaners can be custom-designed to handle such special applications, and customized systems can often deliver improved cleaning performance. Kaijo has extensive […]

Traditional cleaning of industrial parts, mechanical components and electronics has typically involved soaking in aggressive chemicals, pressure washing and manual scrubbing. These methods can damage the surfaces of the parts to be cleaned, use large quantities of water, are costly and are time-consuming. While some parts can be cleaned adequately in this way, parts with […]

With the increased use of minimally invasive surgical techniques, tools and instruments that can’t be cleaned easily or sterilized with high temperatures are becoming more common. Endoscopic instruments are hard to clean, and many are temperature sensitive. Tools such as those for collecting biopsies have complicated shapes, and may have features such as hinges that […]

When a business manager considers whether to buy a piece of equipment, an important factor for the decision is the return on investment (ROI). For ultrasonic cleaners, the manager compares the cost of buying the equipment with the anticipated savings. If the savings over two to three years are equal to or greater than the cost […]

Because a high degree of cleanliness is essential for safe medical practice, implants, medical instruments and other medical devices have to be cleaned thoroughly before use. Medical instruments and devices may have been soiled with bodily fluids while implants often have manufacturing residues that have to be removed. Ultrasonic cleaning uses microscopic cavitation bubbles to […]

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 […]
