Understanding Ultrasonics

Ultrasonic cleaning relies on cavitation, which is produced by intense sound waves.  The sound waves are made up of two cycles: expansion and compression.  During the expansion cycle molecules of liquid are pulled apart to form a cavity,  The cavity will continue to grow until the compression cycle.  During the compression cycle the cavity will collapse creating a microscopic jet of fluid.  The jet of fluid creates a scrubbing action, which is responsible for cleaning.

Enhanced cleaning speed - Ultasonics is faster than any conventional cleaning method.  Entire assemblies can be cleaned without disassembly.  Often the laborsaving advantages make ultrasonics the most cost-effective choice.
 

Unmatched cleaning consistency - The ultrasonic activity is micro in nature and reaches all areas for uniform cleaning.  This is true for large or small parts, simple or complex parts handled singly or in batches.  Thorough soil removal is not operator dependent.
 

Easer compliance with safety and environmental regulations through reduction of dangerous chemical concentration, or substitution of less aggressive cleaning media.
 

Reduction of direct worker contact with hazardous cleaning substances.
 

Savings in labor and floor space.
