How the Immersible Ultrasonic Transducer Is Used in Industrial Cleaning Applications

Facility managers and process engineers at industrial facilities can use ultrasonic cleaning solutions to reduce chemical usage and improve their industrial cleaning tasks. Turnkey systems that include transducers, generators and tanks are available, however for some industrial cleaning applications a more flexible solution may be needed that uses a portable immersible ultrasonic transducer.  

Kaijo provides various models of immersible ultrasonic transducers. These units can be immersed into existing tanks and will be compatible with any Kajio ultrasonic generator. They come in 600 Watt and 1200 Watt versions and operate frequencies from 26 kHz to 160 kHz. To ensure thorough and effective cleaning ultrasonic transducers need to operate at the proper frequency and power level according to the requirements needed in the cleaning application.

Kajio's immersible ultrasonic transducers are also flexible in providing cleaning solutions required for cleaning different components. For cleaning small, delicate parts, a higher frequency (such as 130 kHz and 160 kHz) the transducer generates smaller cavitation bubbles that collapse with less energy which results in finer, gentler cleaning. For robust components with heavy contamination, a transducer running at a lower frequency generates larger cavitation bubbles which provide more robust cleaning. The power of the transducer dictates the number of bubbles the transducer will generate. For cleaning bigger parts, several transducers can be placed into a larger tank to handle to handle the required cleaning at the proper frequency.

Immersible transducers are typically used to clean parts and components in different size tanks that are too big to fit in the standard tanks of turnkey items. They can also be placed in any tank in single or multiple configurations, and can be mounted vertically or horizontally, and can be adjusted to handle various cleaning applications.

Manufacturers that replace the use of chemical and mechanical cleaning processes with ultrasonic cleaning systems can reduce their chemical costs and improve their operating efficiency.
