Ultrasonic frequency is important to ensure fast and thorough cleaning
The cleaning intensity of ultrasonic cleaning machine varies with frequency. The ultrasonic cleaning machine uses the ultrasonic cleaning generator to generate tiny cavitation bubbles in the cleaning solution to remove the surface contaminants of the parts to be cleaned. Low frequency produces relatively large bubbles and clean energy, while high frequency produces smaller bubbles and low energy.
The lowest ultrasonic frequency (about 20 to 40 kHz) provides the strongest cleaning effect, while higher frequencies (up to 1 MHz) produce lower and lower cleaning intensity. Solid parts with hard surfaces can be quickly cleaned at the lowest frequency, while more fragile parts, parts with fine coatings or parts with soft surfaces require higher frequencies to avoid pitting or mechanical damage. The ideal situation is to select the lowest frequency so that the parts are not damaged but can be cleaned quickly.
The ultrasonic cleaning system must be strong enough to adapt to the size of the water tank
Ultrasonic cleaning occurs wherever the cleaning solution can penetrate, but if the system is not strong enough, the cleaning tank may have dead spots and the cleaning may be uneven. Large tanks may require multiple ultrasonic transducers to ensure uniform distribution of cavitation bubbles. The number of transducers and their location in the water tank will affect the cleanliness.
Manufacturers providing industrial ultrasonic cleaning systems can analyze the requirements of cleaning applications and recommend systems with adequate power levels. If the power is insufficient or the power is distributed unevenly throughout the cleaning tank, the ultrasonic cleaner may not operate as expected.
Make sure the size of the cleaning tank can accommodate your parts
The parts to be cleaned must be completely immersed in the cleaning solution. Cans can be custom designed to accommodate long parts, square parts, or parts of different shapes and sizes. The key is to ensure that the longest part can be filled into the water tank. When cleaning many small parts, the basket can fix them and prevent them from vibrating against the side of the water tank. In this case, the tank must be large enough to accommodate the basket.
Heating the cleaning fluid may speed up cleaning
Oily or greasy residues and hardened deposits can be softened by heating the cleaning fluid. Although ultrasonic cleaners can work without heating, the cleaning process is faster when these contaminants soften. If cleaning applications involve removing deposits that are softer at higher temperatures, a tank that can be heated will improve cleaning performance.
Mild detergent can dissolve pollutants
The industrial ultrasonic cleaning system can only use ordinary water for effective cleaning, but if a mild detergent or solvent is added to the cleaning solution, some pollutants will be easier to remove. Detergents can help loosen deposits, and specific solvents can be used to accelerate cleaning for pollutants that are particularly difficult to clean.
