Cleaning PPE at Half the Price
Cleaning personal protective equipment (PPE) often comes with a high price tag, but failing to properly clean gear could cost even more and presents a serious health risk as well. Firefighters especially could find plenty of other uses for precious funds rather than paying for expensive, specialized equipment to clean and sanitize PPE. Meeting the […]
Industrial Cleaning Machine: How to Increase Productivity
Industrial work environments need an effective industrial cleaning machine to boost efficiency and productivity. Lubricants combine with particulates during the manufacturing process and literally gum up the works. Pressure washing or cleaning by hand is labor intensive and just doesn’t get the job done. Besides, these old fashioned methods produce a considerable amount of contaminated […]
Fire Damage Restoration Methods
Beyond the professionals, very few people deal with fire damage restoration. What do victims of a fire need to know about getting their lives back in order without risking their health or future problems with their home or business? In addition to direct fire damage, there are two other sources of damage from a fire: […]
10 Ultrasonic Cleaner Considerations before Purchase
When purchasing an ultrasonic cleaning system, there are ten important ultrasonic cleaner considerations. 1. What Exactly are you Cleaning? When purchasing ultrasonic cleaning equipment, you must first ask yourself, “What exactly are you cleaning?” Are the parts made of plastic or metal? If metal, what kind of metal? Is it a large or small mass […]
The Marketing of Ultrasonic Cleaning
Ultrasonic cleaning is a gold mine for business owners, and the technology markets itself. As Frank and I stated in the podcast dedicated to the future implications of ultrasonic cleaning, this application proves itself again and again financially, environmentally, and when it comes to efficiency. Marketing of ultrasonic cleaning devices can be applied to an […]
How Ultrasonic Cleaning Will Impact the Future
Ultrasonic cleaning has already made its presence known in the arena of parts and systems management. Throughout the previous podcasts sponsored by OmegaSonics, Frank and I have provided example after example of how ultrasonic cleaning can improve the efficiency of your business. This positive effect can in turn brighten your life. Besides the obvious technological […]
Chemistry Is The Key to Ultrasonic Cleaning
Engineers will look at the volume required for the parts being cleaned, the proper frequency, the ideal temperature and the type of filtration required when developing proper ultrasonic cleaning system for a specific application. As important as all of the above specifications are, however, chemistry is still one half of the total solution. Chemistry is […]
Effective Water Restoration Techniques
The goal of any water restoration effort is to return property to its pre-damaged state as fast as possible. To be fully effective, restoration companies must undo current damage and reverse time. Water has a way of seeping into areas unnoticed until it is too late. For this reason alone, restoration should be left to […]
Cost-Effective Turbine Cleaning Regulations
Turbine cleaning presents a difficult challenge to maintenance crews. While necessary to maintain safety and operational efficiency, turbine cleaning mechanism that use standard methods leave much to be desired. Ultrasonic cleaning provides a cost-effective means and better results. Removing carbon deposits, rust, organic and inorganic matter that inhibits turbine blade gearing performance generally involves chemical […]
Training, Certification & Standards: Guest Blog from Total Contentz
There are three strong keywords to success and profit in business. They are training, certification and standards. At first glance, training, certification and standards don’t mean much; it’s only when one explores what these words can do that you begin to appreciate their true value. Here’s why training, certification and standards should be on your […]
Ultrasonic Drying Solutions
An essential component of an effective contents restoration assembly line is a reliable ultrasonic drying process. Since industrial drying applications can be done three different ways (oven dryer, centrifugal dryer, re-circulating dryer), which method is right for you? If you have questions, we encourage you to talk to an ultrasonic consultant today, They can assist […]
Ultrasonic Cleaning: A Primer
Ultrasonic cleaning — particularly that which involves cleaners that operate at the high and low ends of the ultrasonic spectrum — is truly coming into its own with each passing day. Industrial ultrasonic cleaners look somewhat like over-sized washing machines, and they can clean virtually any non-porous object that fits inside of them, from jewelry […]

Omegasonics is Layton Technologies’ new representative in the US for specialized solvent cleaning and solvent drying systems for technically demanding areas of precision cleaning. Omegasonics will provide local sales and development of Layton’s range of specialized equipment which already has an established and growing base of users in the US, as well as established representatives […]
Ultrasonic Cleaning of Personal Protection Equipment
Fire fighters have some of the most dangerous jobs in our country. Not only are they placed in life threatening situations on a regular basis, but did you know that their gear, also referred to as Personal Protective Equipment, or “PPE” for short, can also become health hazards for them? I’ve spoken with many fire […]
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 […]
