Ultrasonic Cleaning

Ultrasonic Cleaning

Ultrasonic cleaning uses sound waves to create cavitation bubbles which agitate a fluid. These cavitation bubbles travel within the fluid until they come into contact with the item to be cleaned which then implodes removing the dirt etc off of the item.  

Ultrasonic cleaning can be completed on many substrates like metals, plastics, glass, rubber, and ceramics. It is possible to clean items that cannot be seen using ultrasonic cleaning meaning cracks, holes and even round corners is possible.  

Water is used along with various chemicals depending on the type of contamination and the workpiece to be cleaned. 

The main contaminants we clean are: dirt, oil, rust, carbon deposits, but there are many more that can be cleaned if required.

 Ultrasonic cleaning can be used for a wide range of workpiece shapes, sizes and materials, and may not require the part to be disassembled prior to cleaning.

Using chemicals for rust removal, carbon removal or degreasing, the majority of items can be ultrasonically cleaned using one of the two tanks available (up to 1.8m long)
