How do industrial ultrasonic
cleaners work? They
use cavitation in cleaning liquids to remove impurities from the surface of a
wide variety of devices and parts that are being cleaned. The action of sound
waves produces cavitation bubbles in the
cleaning solution. As the sound waves travel through the cleaning liquid, the
bubbles emerge under low pressure and
collapse in the high-pressure peaks. The
very action of these bubbles becomes the scrubbing action which lifts off the
impurities from the surface of the items being cleaned while it's immersed in
the water (or other mild cleaning solvents) of the cleaning tank.
Ultrasonic cleaning
systems have proven to clean tools and parts more quickly, effectively and more
thoroughly than traditional cleaning methods like intense scrubbing or use of
harsh chemical solvents.
Manufacturing
plants that have cleaning requirements for their equipment will definitely
benefit from using an ultrasonic cleaning system as it is also economical and
environment-friendly.
The action
of the cavitation bubbles can be adjusted to various frequencies depending on
the cleaning application requirements. Low frequencies (26 kHz-38 kHz the most)
will result in large cavitation bubbles
that are ideal for robust scrubbing and cleaning
but are not suitable for cleaning more delicate parts. Higher frequencies (up
to 1 MHz) produce smaller cavitation bubbles that are ideal for gently cleaning
more delicate parts like semiconductor devices.
Kaijo
offers a complete line of industrial
ultrasonic cleaners and equipment. Customers can buy the Phenix III which includes
an ultrasonic generator and a tank with the transducers already mounted; or
they can purchase the Quava and Phenix
Series ultrasonic generators, the tank and the transducers separately. Kaijo
can also customize the set-up to meet specific client cleaning requirements,
and help select the system that best meets their needs.
