How Ultrasonic Cleaners are Used in Automotive Cleaning Applications

Ultrasonic cleaners use high-frequency sound waves to remove impurities and contaminants from metal and plastic components. They are seen as the better solution to the traditional cleaning methods which uses harsh chemicals and mechanical scrubbing which can damage the components.

Ultrasonic cleaners are especially useful in automotive shops working with used engine parts and restoration facilities working on classic cars. A lot of automotive parts have unusual and complicated shapes, curves, holes, and crevices which mechanical scrubbing simply cannot reach. Some areas may get more mechanical scrubbing than other areas (especially the less visible ones), where the contaminants may remain.

Ultrasonic cleaners use ultrasonic signals generated in the cleaning bath which creates millions of tiny bubbles which do intensive cleaning. These bubbles help in removing oil, dirt, grease, and grime throughout the bath. While the bubbles are intensive enough to dislodge all the contaminants they will not cause damage to the metal surfaces. In addition these bubbles will clean irregularly-shaped components, holes, and crevices that are considered to be inaccessible by mere mechanical scrubbing.

Ultrasonic cleaning systems can also be changed to operate at a higher frequency to produce smaller, finer bubbles, which clean more delicate components. As a result, the ultrasonic cleaning method cleans the automotive parts thoroughly and quickly without damaging them.
