How Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems Eliminate Manufacturing Production Delays

Incomplete cleaning of tools and parts used in manufacturing production lines, such as cleaning injection molds, can result to slow operation, down times and overall operation and production delays.

The use of ultrasonic cleaning systems ensures that cleaning injection molds and related parts are completely and properly cleaned. It also reduces the time needed for finding and solving cleaning problems that are usually encountered with conventional cleaning methods.

The use of ultrasonic cleaning technology allows even hard to clean part surfaces and textures to be completely and effectively cleaned. The ultrasonic waves result in the formation and collapse of the cavitation bubbles in the cleaning solution. This action of cleaning bubbles helps in dislodging contamination and other undesirable particles from the surfaces of the parts that are being cleaned. The cavitation bubbles can even clean intricate shapes and hard-to-reach places of the parts being cleaned.

To achieve the optimum cleaning performance in an ultrasonic cleaning system, the right tank size, power and frequency levels should be selected carefully.

The ultrasonic cleaning system is so effective that it doesn't need aggressive cleaning chemicals or use mechanical scrubbing action. Operator safety is greatly enhanced and costs for the use, handling, storage and disposal of chemicals are eliminated. With the elimination of chemicals, the ultrasonic cleaning system is also environmentally compliant.

Ultrasonic cleaning systems are an ideal solution for quick, thorough and efficient cleaning of industrial and manufacturing parts, such as injection molds. Using a proactive cleaning process, you won't have to encounter down times and unnecessary production delays any longer.

What Are the Advantages of Turn-Key Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems?

An ultrasonic cleaning system contains three essential components: the ultrasonic generator, the transducer, and the cleaning tank.

These components can be purchased together in a complete turn-key system or purchased separately. If components are purchased separately customers need to make sure that the components and specifications match otherwise the system will not perform or provide less than ideal results.

Turn-key ultrasonic cleaning systems from reputable manufacturers are built with components that have the required characteristics. The system design ensures that the selected components are matched correctly and together deliver the best performance.

Aside from the frequency, power and tank size, the type of controls, the tank material and the operating temperature should be considered.

• General-purpose cleaning or cleaning rugged components – low frequency (26 kHz or 38 kHz)
• Cleaning delicate parts – high frequency (130 kHz or 160 kHz)

The size of the tank should and a number of transducers needed must be determined. Tanks need to be large enough to hold the biggest or longest parts to be cleaned. The tank material also needs to be impervious to withstand any cleaning solutions used as well as the high temperatures (if heating is needed).

Control systems should be run in either fixed mode or sweep mode to produce even distribution of the ultrasonic waves. The system controls also adjust the power.

Citing the time-consuming and expensive nature of the application of these design configurations, any mistakes will adversely affect the ultrasonic cleaner's performance and may even damage the parts that are being cleaned.

Kajio's Phenix III is a turn-key ultrasonic cleaning system will eliminate those potential problems. It delivers general ultrasonic cleaning for a variety of industrial parts in a reliable and cost-effective manner. It is easy to use and offers flexibility in operations.

It offers various standard tank sizes to accommodate different powers and frequencies. Custom sized tanks are also available. The 3mm-thick stainless-steel tank can withstand high temperatures (up to 100 degrees centigrade) and common detergents, therefore delivering superior cleaning performance. The transducers and the tank can also withstand high-temperature operation.

The Phenix III is available in 26 kHz and 38 kHz models as well as 600w and 1200w models. It can operate in either fixed or sweep mode.

For additional flexibility, the single-phase 50/60 Hz AC power supply is selectable for 200V, 208V, 230V or 240V. The unit draws 6A for the 600 W model and 10 A for the 1200 W model.
