How Does Ultrasonic Cleaning
Work? Three basic elements are required
to produce cavitation: a generator, a tank, and a transducer. This combination
of components produces an ultrasonic system. The intense agitation needed for
cleaning occurs when standard electrical current is converted first to
electrical energy of a higher frequency by the generator, then into ultrasound
waves by the transducers. These transducers are either bonded to the tank
bottom, or enclosed in a stainless steel housing which is mounted inside the
tank. The sound waves produced by these transducers exert enormous pressures
which loosen soils lodged in hard-to-reach areas of a work piece, including
blind holes and crevices.
Deionized
Water Rinsing: The lower
the mineral content in the rinse water, the less likely it is that the work
pieces will stain during the drying process. Depending on the quality of the
local water supply and the critical nature of the particular part being
cleaned, deionized water rinsing may be necessary. Our recirculating deionized
water rinse stations remove the minerals and organic matter from tap water and
recirculate it through either of the rinse station tanks.
