Selecting the right equipment size and options for industrial ultrasonic cleaners is just as important as using the right frequency to obtain optimum cleaning performance. Depending on the cleaning application requirements, either a flexible system or a system designed for one particular task may work best. Also selecting the corresponding options will influence how the system can be used.
In ultrasonic cleaning systems, the parts to be cleaned are immersed in a solution contained within ultrasonic cleaning tanks. The tank should be big enough to hold the largest parts or parts with unusual shapes (for tanks of custom shapes), but the power of the system also has to be adequate to fill the tank with ultrasonic sound waves.
Small or delicate parts may be easily damaged by vibrations if they come into contact with the walls and/or bottom of the tank. Placing the parts in a basket will help in reducing the possibility of vibration damage, so the basket has to be large enough to hold the parts and the tank has to be large enough as well to hold the basket.
Ultrasonic transducers can be immersible, bolt on or permanently installed on the cleaning tank. Among the three, immersible transducers are the most flexible because they are independent units that can be placed into any cleaning tank, whenever they are needed. Bolt-on transducers can be removed or replaced when needed, while mounted transducers are usually the part of a turn-key ultrasonic system that can’t easily be changed.
Ultrasonic cleaning generators produce an electrical signal at the selected ultrasonic frequency. A generator can be designed to produce just one frequency, several frequencies or a wide range of frequencies. Depending on the cleaning requirements and the application, an ultrasonic system may need a generator that produces one or multiple frequencies.
Customers can choose industrial ultrasonic cleaners that are turn-key, or they can have them assembled from the individual components to meet their requirements.
