The Benefits of Using Ultrasonic Cleaners in Industrial Parts Washing

Industrial ultrasonic cleaning is an excellent alternative to traditional cleaning methods which involve mechanical scrubbing and the use of harsh chemicals and solvents. It delivers excellent cleaning performance that is fast and effective while considerably reducing costs.



The cavitation bubbles produced by the ultrasonic cleaning system delivers a powerful mechanical scrubbing action. The cavitation bubbles quickly and thoroughly remove contaminants from the surfaces of parts made of varying materials and with various shapes and sizes.



Industrial ultrasonic cleaners provide many different benefits that include:



1) Smaller environmental footprint – The use of ultrasonic cleaners reduces the environmental footprint as it uses only water or mild detergents that do not need special handling and disposal.



2) Increased worker safety – Harsh cleaning chemicals require special handling and can result in spills or exposing workers to hazardous fumes. Ultrasonic cleaners do not require the use of chemicals and can do the process automatically, leading to reduced human monitoring and increased safety.



3) Higher throughput – Ultrasonic cleaners operate more quickly compared to traditional cleaning methods. The right ultrasonic frequency, cleaning power, cleaning solution, temperature and detergent needs to be selected to achieve the optimum cleaning speed.



4) Improved cleaning performance – The microscopic cavitation bubbles produced by the ultrasonic cleaners appear everywhere in the cleaning solution, which leads to a thorough cleaning action. The bubbles can even clean hard-to-reach places, including parts that are delicate or have complex shapes.



5) Cost savings – Ultrasonic cleaners are cost-effective because they do not require the purchase, storing, handling and disposal of cleaning chemicals. Instead, ultrasonic cleaners use only water or water with mild detergents. There are also no compliance costs associated with the use and disposal of toxic chemicals.



6) Improved output and part longevity – When parts are cleaned completely through ultrasonic cleaning, they last longer and perform better. Traditional cleaning cannot reach inaccessible places and can leave contaminants behind on the surface, which leads to damage to the parts. Ultrasonic cleaners remove all dirt, even in inaccessible places, leaving the parts completely cleaned and free from contaminants.
