Ultrasonic Cleaning: A New Frontier in Industrial Cleaning

Ultrasonic cleaning represents an alternative and versatile solution in the modern panorama of industrial cleaning: these equipments, thanks to particular components and high speed, are a great complementary opportunity in sectors where complex and difficult to reach surfaces require targeted and deep cleaning. In this article we see how they work and why they guarantee deep and efficient cleaning.

What is Ultrasonic Technology and How to Use It

Ultrasonic cleaning represents a solution to be used alongside the cleaning technologies currently available to obtain a deep and uniform cleaning of complex components. This technology is appreciated above all in sectors such as automotive, where the maintenance of hard-to-reach parts is essential to ensure optimal performance. It is therefore particularly suitable for materials and objects that are complicated to treat, such as small parts, or more generally for all spaces that are difficult to reach.

The cleaning process is done by immersing the components in a water-based cleaning solution, as is the case with many of our parts washers. The tanks are specifically designed to exploit the action of ultrasonic waves, which are the key principle behind this methodology. During washing, a phenomenon known as cavitation is generated: micro-bubbles are formed that act quickly and reach even the most hidden corners of the components. This allows residues such as lubricating oils, greases and contaminants to be removed without damaging the surfaces or materials..

It seems like a complex process, but it is actually very simple to adopt and versatile for many applications.

Beyond Cleaning, the Benefits of Ultrasonic Parts Cleaners

As we have seen, ultrasonic parts washers are very well suited to make a contribution in certain industrial sectors, such as the automotive sector. But how do they work? The key elements that enable the process are, specifically:

• The generator, which transforms the electric current into a frequency suitable for triggering the cleaning process;
• The transducer, responsible for high frequencies and ultrasonic vibrations;
• The tank, where you immerse the components to be cleaned in a cleaning solution.

This technology aligns perfectly with what we consider to be the fundamental parameters of parts washers of all kinds. Let's see why they are particularly suitable for certain situations: 

• Deep and uniform cleaning: ultrasonic waves reach even the most difficult areas, ensuring uniform washing without increasing the workload of operators;
• Delicacy on materials: we prefer water-based cleaning methods because they are very delicate. In this way it is easy to preserve the integrity and characteristics of materials and components;
• Safety for operators and the environment: the substances used are safe and non-harmful, making ultrasonic cleaning another example of sustainability both in ecological terms, with reduced water consumption, and towards operators.;
• Flexibility and automation: Ultrasonic parts washers optimize overall productivity time in various cleaning contexts and situations.
