Ultrasonic cleaning with modified alcohols and hydrocarbons

HOW DOES ULTRASONIC TECHNOLOGY WORK

Ultrasonic technology operates on the principle of cavitation. Vibrations transmitted through the washing liquid create vacuum bubbles that implode, effectively detaching dirt evenly from materials such as steel, brass, and aluminium. In our industrial metal washers, ultrasounds are activated after the initial washing cycle with modified alcohols, ensuring a deep and precise cleaning. We can integrate up to five transducers per system, making them ideal for removing challenging materials, such as polishing compounds hardened by baking and drying, when hot detergent alone is not enough.

Ultrasonic cleaning is an extremely effective solution for cleaning electronic components, precious metals, and precision parts from turning processes. Ultrasonic technology is particularly suited for complex and intricate materials, such as those used in fittings and valves with blind holes, where iron filings can be difficult to remove.
In our metal washing systems, the use of ultrasounds is an option available upon customer request. The number of ultrasonic generators is determined during the design phase, allowing the washing chamber to be optimally configured, ensuring the effective installation of transducers.

Advantages of Ultrasonic Cleaning

Deep Cleaning: Ultrasound reaches even the most difficult areas, ensuring the complete removal of impurities.
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of materials and components, including those with complex shapes.
Efficiency: Reduces cleaning times and boosts productivity.

Typical applications
