How Ultrasonic Tanks Are Used in Industrial Cleaning Applications

Industrial cleaning systems that use ultrasonic technology can clean a variety of parts and materials without the use of harsh chemicals or harsh scrubbing.

Ultrasonic tanks hold the cleaning solution and the object to be cleaned, and are mounted with traducers which produce the ultrasonic signal. Ultrasonic cleaning is especially ideal for cleaning parts like glass, ceramics, optical components, medical devices, and machined parts.

Ultrasonic cleaners generate ultrasonic acoustic waves into a cleaning solution. The ultrasonic waves generate cavitation bubbles that form and collapse at the ultrasonic frequency. The object to be cleaned is immersed in the cleaning solution inside the tank. These cavitation bubbles remove impurities and contamination from the surface of the object. Usually, it takes about 10 minutes, and even parts with complicated surface can be cleaned thoroughly.

Kaijo's ultrasonic tanks and baths are designed specifically for use in ultrasonic cleaning applications. They are resistant to ultrasonic waves and support the transducers in their cleaning action.

The tank has a stainless-steel body for excellent durability and comes in standard and customized sizes. Tanks with transducers and generators are available in 10 different frequency options. Lower frequencies produce bigger cavitation bubbles which make them suitable for robust cleaning on objects with stable surfaces. Higher frequencies produce smaller bubbles which make them ideal for gentle cleaning on delicate objects.

Kaijo’s ultrasonic baths and cleaners provide a powerful and cost-effective solution to manufacturers. They eliminate the need for harsh chemicals and the rough mechanical scrubbing required for traditional cleaning solutions.
