How an Ultrasonic Cleaner Works – part 5 – Bubble Size
As discussed in the previous post, the choice of frequency is a major consideration in the process of ultrasonic cleaning. Frequency plays a critical role in determining the size of bubbles produced in the cleaning liquid. These bubbles ultimately create the agitation used by ultrasonic cleaners. Industrial ultrasonic cleaners operate at a variety of frequencies […]
How an Ultrasonic Cleaner Works – part 4 – Frequencies
Ultrasonic cleaning utilizes the energy of collapsing bubbles to create an agitating action and clean objects on a microscopic level. Ultrasonic cleaners produce these bubbles when high frequency sound waves are transmitted through the liquid bath containing the object to be cleaned. The effect of temperature on the cleaning action was presented in a previous […]
How an Ultrasonic Cleaner Works – part 3 – Temperature
In our discussion of ultrasonic cleaners, we now turn our attention to the effect that temperature has on ultrasonic cleaning. Cavitations produced in a liquid by high frequency – or ultrasonic – sound waves result in streams of liquids essentially “power washing” objects on a microscopic level. What role does temperature play in the process? […]
How an Ultrasonic Cleaner Works – part 2 – Chemistries
In a previous post we examined the basics of ultrasonic cleaning, and learned how ultrasonic cleaners essentially “pressure wash” objects at the microscopic level. In this post, we take a closer look at the liquid medium used to transmit the ultrasonic sound waves and clean objects in industrial ultrasonic cleaners. First, a brief review of […]
How an Ultrasonic Cleaner Works – part 1
All types of industries require highly efficient and effective cleaning of components – which is what ultrasonic cleaning provides – during various stages in their manufacturing processes. Ultrasonic cleaners represent a revolutionary breakthrough in the cleaning process. Industrial ultrasonic cleaners are not exactly new, but how they work may be something of a mystery to […]
The Light at the End of the Tunnel is a Tunnel!
The problem? Because the ultrasonic cleaning process was so fast, items began to pile up while waiting to be dried. The solution? The Omega 6900 tunnel dryer was created to alleviate this bottleneck.

Ultrasonic Contents Restoration Assembly Line = High ROI
An assembly-line ultrasonic contents restoration processing system allows a staff of 3-4 technicians to increase production by 500%. Disaster restoration companies usually clean fire, smoke, and water damaged contents manually. The ultrasonic process does a more thorough job of cleaning. Contents restoration companies recover more contents for homeowners. Insurance companies save millions of dollars in […]
Improve Contents Processing Efficiency
If you are a contents restoration company not yet using the latest technology in ultrasonic cleaning, then you are potentially missing on countless amounts of clients, jobs and money. With today’s technology, using an ultrasonic cleaning machine is the ONLY way to reduce cleaning costs, improve cleaning time/effectiveness and reduce the number of cash outs […]
Cleaning Firearms with Ultrasound
Cleaning firearms is one of the more involved applications for ultrasonics, mainly because it requires a two step chemistry process. That said, it is a whole lot easier to restore and clean firearms with an ultrasonic cleaner than doing it the old fashioned way with a manual gun cleaning kit. Obviously remove all bullets and […]
What is Ultrasonic Cleaning Really?
When technical folks try to explain what ultrasonic cleaning is, you get some really technical explanations that no one outside of the industry frankly understands. Picture sound waves being pumped through water, generating cavitation bubbles that implode and remove dirt. The smart engineering types talk about a cavitation bubble. They talk about rarefactions and defractions of […]
Top 5 Things to Consider When Buying an Ultrasonic Washer
Here are a few things to consider when buying an ultrasonic washer and none of it requires a degree in electronics engineering. 1. SIZE MATTERS – Pick the right tank size. Don’t buy a unit that is too small for you largest critical parts, or a unit that can’t handle the amount of parts (per load) […]
