How Cleaning Ultrasonic Tanks Work

Ultrasonic cleaning tanks hold the water or cleaning solution that cleans parts and components through the action of cavitation bubbles produced by the ultrasonic sound waves. The sound waves come from the ultrasonic generator that is mounted inside the tank.

The cavitation bubbles provide the intense scrubbing and cleaning action through the liquid and can lift dirt even in hard-to-reach places such as tiny holes and crevices of the components being cleaned.

Kaijo's ultrasonic cleaning tanks are made of thick gloss polished stainless steel. They're specifically designed to withstand the cleaning action and vibrations generated by the transducers. Usually mounted on the tanks, the transducers convert the electric signal (from the ultrasonic generator) into sound waves, which produce the cavitation bubbles that provide the cleaning action. The ultrasonic tanks are specifically designed to withstand the cleaning action and vibrations created by ultrasonic transducers and are constructed to satisfy many different cleaning requirements.

Ultrasonic cleaning tanks are designed for use in a wide variety of industrial cleaning applications. They come in various sizes depending on the cleaning power required for a specific cleaning application. With over 60 years of experience in ultrasonic cleaning technology, Kaijo can help analyze your cleaning requirements and offer solutions to your specific needs.

Kaijo’s ultrasonic cleaning tanks are available with mounted transducers and generators that operate at either 26 kHz, 38 kHz or 78 kHz. These cleaning tanks are complete systems that deliver robust cleaning performance that clean most part in about 10 minutes. Kaijo’s Phenix III generator can be combined with these ultrasonic cleaning tanks and mounted transducers to provide a cost-effective and complete turn-key system.

Can My Parts Be Cleaned Using Ultrasonics?

Can your manufacturing parts, tools and equipment be cleaned using ultrasonics? The answer is definitely yes. Ultrasonic cleaning works by the action of microscopic bubbles in a cleaning bath usually filled with water (or water with a mild cleaning solvent). As the ultrasonic waves travel through the bath, the waves produce crests of high and low pressure. This generates cavitation bubbles which create an intense cleaning action, leading to the thorough removal of contaminants from the surface of parts, tools or equipment being cleaned.

Ultrasonic cleaning systems deliver an optimum cleaning performance compared to traditional cleaning methods like mechanical scrubbing and harsh chemicals, which are not as effective in cleaning parts and also time-consuming and expensive.

An Ultrasonic cleaning system can increase production facility efficiency by reducing cleaning time, however the right characteristics need to be used for a specific cleaning application. Choosing the right frequency and power level is needed for optimal results in a particular cleaning application.

Systems with low frequencies (26 kHz to 38 kHz) create comparatively large bubbles, ideal for robust cleaning of certain hard surfaces (like steel, copper, and glass). Systems operating at higher frequencies (100 kHz and above) generate smaller bubbles that create a gentle cleaning action for delicate surfaces (such as medical tools and solar cells).

Kajio's Phenix turkey ultrasonic cleaning system proves to be versatile and able to meet a variety of requirements in many typical cleaning applications. The system includes:

·         the ultrasonic generator (which generates the electric signal)

·         the transducer (which converts the electric signal into the ultrasonic waves, from which the cavitation bubbles are ultimately formed)

·         the cleaning tank (which holds the parts to be cleaned, the transducer and the cleaning solution).

The system offers different tank sizes and can operate in sweep or fixed frequency modes. It also provides up to 1200 watts or power at 26kHz or 38 KHz.
