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 teams-up with Layton Technologies
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 […]
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. Tunnel Dryers were originally manufactured by Omegasonics for disaster restoration cleaning purposes. However, building upon the initial success found in the restoration […]
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 […]
