Why Ultrasonic Cleaners Are Essential for the Automotive Industry

The traditional cleaning methods that the automotive industry typically uses to clean oily and greasy parts are time-consuming and expensive. Automotive ultrasonic cleaners, on the other hand, deliver cleaning performance in less time and at low operating costs.

There are many fantastic advantages that automotive manufacturing facilities or parts shop can benefit from using ultrasonic cleaners. But in order to get the full advantages provided by ultrasonic cleaners, the cleaning systems have to be configured correctly.

Once the automotive manufacturing facilities or parts shop switch to ultrasonic cleaners, they will become indispensable.

To achieve a successful cleaning performance, the ultrasonic cleaner should match the cleaning application. While a general-purpose ultrasonic cleaner can clean a wide variety of parts, matching it to the cleaning application can improve cleaning performance and avoid potential damage to part surfaces.

Low frequency cleaners deliver a robust cleaning action that can clean quickly but can result in pitting for parts with soft surfaces. Automotive parts are usually made of steel and often have hard surfaces. They come usually contaminated with oil, grease, and carbon deposits. Such parts are hard to clean but configuring the ultrasonic cleaner correctly will provide enough power to remove these deposits quickly and thoroughly.

Typically, a low frequency cleaner with a 40 kHz ultrasonic transducer will be used. If necessary, heat and/or a mild detergent will be used to soften the grease and expedite the cleaning process. Combining these special features in an ultrasonic cleaner adapted to the task helps obtain the best cleaning performance possible.
