Discover ultrasonic cleaning
to boost your productivity!
Le ultrasonic cleaning is a technology of industrial blasting relatively unknown to this day. Yet every professional who uses this tool already knows that this technique is a real asset in terms of time savings and frees you from a constraint that is often difficult to perform: the cleaning of materials...
Features and advantages of ultrasonic cleaning
But what exactly is ultrasonic cleaning?
It should be noted that ultrasonic cleaning has many names such as:
- Ultrasonic cleaning
- Sonicator
- Ultrasonic bath
The term ultrasonic bath has the advantage of being quickly understood because it is visual. And indeed, to understand its specificity, you need to grasp the process.
To define ultrasonic cleaning in simplified terms, you should understand that it is "an accelerated procedure for cleaning materials. "
In a more technical manner, ultrasonic cleaning is "the dissolution of products through the mechanical effect ofultrasonic waves de at frequenciesgenerally between 20 kHz and 400 kHz. " Source Wikipedia
How does ultrasonic cleaning work?
This technology may seem very technical, however you should focus on the visual aspect of the process.
The sonicator is a tank filled with a cleaning solution (such as white vinegar or...). In this tank, the desired object is placed via a stainless steel basket. It is at this precise moment when the object is perfectly placed in the tank that the ultrasonic waves take effect and emit vibrations at high frequencies.
This creates microscopic bubbles and produces the cavitation phenomenon.
Ultrasonic cleaning operation on engine...
« We callcavitation, the formation and "radial oscillation of gas or vapor bubbles in a liquid subjected to negative pressure. If this negative pressure is sufficiently high, the pressure can fall below the saturated vapor pressure, and a vapor bubble is likely to form."Source Wikipedia
This process will release a shock wave that will thoroughly clean your object.
Why use this process?
Ultrasonic cleaning comes with significant advantages, and like most of our high-performance products, our solution is adapted to every need through its performance and its flexibility.
Essentially, what we should remember is that using this solution will provide you with a time saving through its speed, its cost (because it's economical), its environmental preservation (because it's eco-friendly) and above all its effectiveness (no need to repeat the action because results are immediately visible).
