What is Ultrasonic industrial cleaning machine

Ultrasonic cleaners are suitable for cleaning a wide variety of materials, including metals, glass, rubber, ceramics and some hard plastics. Also known as an ultrasonic cleaning machine, an ultrasonic parts cleaner is especially useful for removing tightly-adhered contaminants from intricate items with blind holes, cracks and recesses. Examples of contaminants removed through ultrasonic cleaning include dust, dirt, oil, grease, pigments, flux agents, fingerprints and polishing compound.

The fluid used in an industrial ultrasonic cleaner can be either water-based (aqueous) or solvent-based. Both types of cleaning solutions contain wetting agents (surfactants) to reduce surface tension and increase cavitation. Aqueous cleaning solutions are generally more limited in cleaning effectiveness but better for the environment than solvent cleaning solutions.

In ultrasonic parts cleaning, the parts are typically placed in a basket or tray and then immersed in the ultrasonic cleaning tank. On occasion, parts may be racked and the rack is lowered into the tank. Items with blind holes may benefit from a rotating basket in an ultrasonic parts cleaner.
