Ultrasonic Cleaning equipment

Cleaning is an important part of many industrial processes. To extend their life you may want to clean your equipment and tools: some may be precision instruments that need regular servicing and calibration. With all equipment dirt, residue and grease that builds up can affect the way they work. Dirt can also lead to corrosion and failure of items: this may usually be of little consequence but if the failure leads to a problem with a vital component made to be fitted in for example an aircraft engine or similar then you have a problem.

Usually though cleaning is to make sure that parts and equipment have long lives, when a component is fitted into a sealed system it has little potential to be damaged except by expected levels of wearing: this is the case with something like a crankshaft that should continue with no problems for a long time. If though when it was made it had a flaw then there could be a problem or if when it was made dirt, chemicals or other foreign bodies entered the closed system damage could easily occur and a failure happen.

With components for things such as engines and other machinery it is vital that they are clean before being used. The level of cleanliness will vary: you may even make items that don’t need to last for ever or aren’t expected to last for ever: you don’t need to make a car engine last for 50 years if the body is likely to rust away after 30.

So you choose what level of cleaning you need and also what you most need to remove: grease? Dirt? Particles left over from manufacturing? Salt in some cases or other chemicals such as Solvents or Detergents? Solvents remove grease but then need to be used themselves to remove all elements may often be a long process.

With ultrasonic cleaning methods though you have a process that is much simplified and removes everything that isn’t meant to be attached to a part even dirt and grime ingrained in pores on the face of material or in gaps and holes within the part.

The way ultrasonic cleaning works is simply to use water: it is therefore much cheaper and much greener than using chemicals all the time which can harm the environment and your staff as well as the parts you are trying to clean. The way the water is used is to vibrate it using ultrasonic waves so that it loosens all residue and dirt: the vibration also drives water into all nooks and crannies that there may be and washes out any dirt.

With solvents and detergents the rinsing processes are especially important and may be quite drawn out in order to achieve zero residue cleaning: with water assuming the water is deionised and filtered, which equipment can do if needed, it can be rinsed away leaving nothing with only two rinse stages.

You may choose to go for a small table or bench top cleaning option that roves virtually all dirt but not everything: a bigger system can include rinsing and drying stages. A system can even be designed to fit into your production line with little human input needed.
