The bath temperature of your cleaning tank is critical to getting the best results. Whether you are cleaning by hand with a brush, using a pressure spray cabinet, a submersion agitation tank, a submersion tank with pressure nozzles or eductors, or an ultrasonic tank, water temperature is key. Just like when Goldilocks broke into the […]
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 […]
A Safer Way to Handle Industrial Waste Disposal
You wash your hands with soap and water, so why wouldn’t you wash your industrial parts in the same way? The world is turning “green” and more businesses than ever are choosing safe and eco friendly methods to clean their industrial parts and machinery. One reason ultrasonic technology is superior to other forms of cleaning […]
Why Industries have Increased their use of Ultrasonic Cleaning
In the 1980’s, the U.S. government began to crack down on un-safe industrial cleaning chemicals, and created the need for new, safer, greener, water-based cleaning solutions: one of the key alternatives being ultrasonic cleaning technology. As government regulations on toxic chemicals used in the workforce were tightened, industrial companies were frantically searching for newer and […]
Why Ultrasonic Cleaning is crucial for Food and Drug Companies
When it comes to the cleaning of parts and equipment used to process or dispense food, ultrasonic technology meets and exceeds the toughest of standards. In the food and drug industry, as you can imagine, inspectors must be extremely thorough. Using ultrasound will more than please even the most meticulous inspectors, reduce your labor overhead, […]
Industrial Ultrasonic Cleaning Test Lab = “CSI: Simi Valley”
In previous posts we’ve talked about finding the right balance between ultrasonic chemistry, frequency, time, and process to maximize industrial ultrasonic cleaning efficiency. To uncover how to optimize these elements, we use our state-of-the-art testing lab located in Simi Valley, California. We think of our testing lab sort of like a “CSI crime scene lab” […]
