An ultrasonic cleaner is a device that allows effective cleaning of delicate items or hard-to-reach areas, removing dirt and bacteria that other cleaning devices are unable to remove. They are usually formed by a container, in which the object or objects to be treated are introduced, immersed in a special liquid through which high frequency waves propagate, generating an effect called acoustic cavitation through which an optimal cleaning is achieved.
They are used in the medical, pharmaceutical, sports, automotive, aesthetic and engineering industries, because they provide a deep and gentle cleaning of the objects, with the total certainty of eliminating the smallest residue in an efficient and ecological way, in a short time, obtaining an unequaled cleaning compared to other cleaning methods.
Benefits of an ultrasonic cleaner
This equipment mainly allows a deep and complete cleaning in different materials that are usually complex to clean, such as steel, aluminum, copper, rubber and some plastics. Among the benefits provided by the use of ultrasonic cleaners we find:
- It is an environmentally friendly cleaning system.
- Deep cleaning.
- Disinfects and sterilizes.
- Simple to use.
- They are safe and fast systems
- Extends the useful life of materials.
How does an ultrasonic cleaner work?
An ultrasonic cleaner works through the process of acoustic cavitation, which is formed when the equipment’s bucket is turned on, causing and rapidly expanding ultrasonic waves or bubbles through the liquid. These bubbles grow, move very fast and explode releasing energy that separates the dirt from the surface of the material. In other words, this equipment uses ultrasound waves that oscillate between 20 and 400 kHz, thus generating vibrations that loosen the residues and dirt accumulated on the objects being cleaned.
Ultrasonic cleaning fluids contain compounds designed to make ultrasonic cleaning more effective. They usually contain detergents, wetting agents and other components, which enhance the cleaning process. Among these liquids we find:
- Decarbonizing liquid for engines and their components.
- Pickling liquid for ultrasound.
- Cleaning liquid for ink removal.
- Ultrasonic degreaser.
- Ultrasonic sanitizer. These are used to clean molds in the food industry, or to remove surgical material residues.
How is an ultrasonic cleaner used?
When using an ultrasonic cleaner, the manufacturer’s specifications, the amount of product and the temperature of the liquid to be used must be taken into account. The base of the solution to be used is usually water, but you will always need to include an ultrasonic cleaner specific to the part that needs to be washed. This is essential to take into account, because, like all detergents, different specific types will be used depending on the dirt to be cleaned, and the type of material the parts to be treated are made of.
Ultrasonic cleaners are used for deep cleaning of metal materials, some plastics and rubber, among others. The basic requirement for these materials is that they must tolerate immersion in liquids and high temperatures. These equipment have timer functions, heater and digital control panels.
