Kaijo's New Phenix+ Ultrasonic Generator Optimizes Cleaning Performance


Kaijo's new Phenix+ industrial ultrasonic generator improves the functions used in the ultrasonic cleaning system’s performance. It provides better efficiency and takes ultrasonic cleaning control to whole new level.

Kaijo analyzed the possible sources of problems with using ultrasonic generators and used this to design the Phenix+ ultrasonic generator. It includes features that make the units easier to use, more efficient and offer better control of ultrasonic cleaning system functions.

The Phenix+ ultrasonic generator includes the following features:

  • Touch panel controls for easy-to-use operator interface.
  • Improved power output monitoring and control.
  • Advanced automatic turning for changed process environment or a changed transducer.
  • A standard frequency modulation mode which ensures an even and uniform ultrasonic wave distribution.
  • More efficient cooling of the generator unit for increased efficiency.
  • Reduced power use due to a more efficient power circuit.

These features make the Phenix+ ultrasonic generator an ideal source to create a high-frequency electrical signal used within an ultrasonic cleaning system. Operators can use the additional functions to control the cleaning process more precisely and deliver optimum cleaning performance.

Touch panel controls, automatic adjustment for the cleaning environment, uniform ultrasonic wave distribution, and increased efficiency from cooling requirements make the new Phenix+ industrial ultrasonic generator a great choice.

As a leading ultrasonic equipment manufacturer, Kaijo is focused on continuously improving their ultrasonic cleaning system components. They are committed to bringing the most advanced and cost-effective ultrasonic cleaning solutions to their customers.

How Ultrasonic Cleaners Effectively Clean Industrial Machined Parts


Machined parts that come directly from a production environment will be contaminated with a variety of substances. These parts may have picked up contaminants from the shop environment and machining can often leave particles on the machined surfaces. Industrial ultrasonic cleaners offer an efficient and cost-effective solution to meet these types of cleaning needs.

Contamination can be harmful especially if machined parts are used in systems which have high levels of cleanliness. These requirements are needed in certain industries such as food, pharmacy, and medicine.

There are many ways to clean machined parts. Cleaning and rinsing machined parts with solvents may remove the contaminants with simple geometries but they cannot clean the intricate crevices and holes. Plus, rinsing may leave residues as well. Manual scrubbing, another cleaning option, may remove contaminants but may damage the machined surfaces.

That's why ultrasonic cleaning is the best alternative to these traditional cleaning methods, since it effectively removes all grease, oil, dirt, particles and all other sorts of contaminants.

Ultrasonic cleaning starts with the ultrasonic generator which sends an electric high-frequency signal to the ultrasonic cleaning transducers immersed in the cleaning solution. The ultrasonic waves create cavitation bubbles which form in their troughs and collapse in the wave peaks. This formation and collapse of bubbles in the liquid result in a powerful scrubbing and cleaning action as the bubbles effectively dislodge dirt and other foreign particles from the machined surfaces.

One of the primary benefits of using industrial ultrasonic cleaners is that the bubbles work where there is a cleaning solution, and you can select the frequency range as to how intense the cleaning you would like it to be. As a result, cleaning is thorough and effective around both simple surfaces and more intricate crevices, holes and along the ridges. No need to use harsh chemicals that may leave residues, or mechanical scrubbing that may damage the machined parts.
