What is ultrasonic cleaning? The technology that revolutionizes industrial cleaning

All about ultrasonic cleaning

Ultrasonic cleaning has become a revolutionary solution for removing contaminants from high-precision parts and components. This technology not only improves cleaning, but also optimizes operating costs and the sustainability of industrial processes. With ultrasonic cleaning you can improve productivity and performance!

This cleaning technology allows for the deep removal of contaminants from parts and components made of different materials. Thanks to the cavitation generated by ultrasonic waves, this process is highly efficient, minimizes the use of chemicals and optimizes cleaning times.
 

What is ultrasonic cleaning?

Ultrasonic cleaning is a process that uses high-frequency sound waves to remove contaminants adhering to solid surfaces. This method is widely used in the automotive, medical, aeronautical and electronics industries due to its ability to clean even the smallest cavities without damaging the material.

The fundamental principle of this technology is cavitation, a phenomenon in which microscopic bubbles are generated and collapse in the cleaning liquid, producing mechanical energy that removes dirt, grease, oxides and residue from the submerged parts.


Thanks to the ability of this technology to remove grease, residue or other foreign bodies from the part, ultrasonic cleaning is able to increase the useful life and productivity of the part and improve its operation.
 

How does ultrasonic cleaning work?

Ultrasonic cleaning can be carried out by emitting longitudinal high-frequency waves that are directed at the liquid in which the component to be disinfected is located. This allows the mechanical and ionic bonds of the particles and external objects that are lodged in the component that is in the water to be broken.

With this procedure, components with dirt in places that are difficult to access can be disinfected, since the dirt residues dissolve in the conductive fluid.

The ultrasonic cleaning process consists of the following key elements:

• Ultrasonic generator: Converts electrical energy into ultrasonic waves.
• Ultrasonic emitters: Transform these waves into mechanical vibrations in the cleaning liquid.
• Cleaning tank: Container where the parts and cleaning liquid are placed.
• Cleaning solution: Mixture of water and specific detergents that enhance the cavitation process.
• Cleaning time and temperature: Adjustable variables depending on the type of contaminant and material to be treated.
• Ultrasound creates a mechanical action that penetrates all corners and surfaces, achieving uniform and efficient cleaning.

Applications of ultrasonic cleaning
The adaptability of ultrasonic cleaning facilitates its use in various industries:

• Automotive industry: Cleaning operation of injectors, cylinder heads, carburetors and piston.
• Medical and dental environment: Sterilization and cleaning of dental and surgical equipment.
• Aeronautical technology: Reduction of waste in metal and plastic elements.
• Electrotechnics: cleaning of circuit boards and microcomponents.
• Watchmaking and jewelry: Restoration of valuable metals and internal devices.
