Ultrasonic technology is experiencing tremendous growth in the cleaning industry. Ultrasonic cleaning methods are currently being utilized in a wide variety of cleaning applications. As labour becomes more expensive and time more valuable, faster and more efficient cleaning methods are continuously being explored. As a result, you will find ultrasonic equipment in:

•Automotive businesses
•Aviation repair facilities
•Electronic repair shops
•Fire restoration companies
•Golf course pro shops
•Hospitals
•Janitorial and blind cleaning services
•Jewellery stores
•Plant maintenance facilities
•Radiator repair shops
...and many more

The cleaning process works as follows: An electronic generator converts standard electrical current into electrical energy of a higher frequency, and a transducer then converts this energy into mechanical waves. These transducers are either bonded to the exterior wall of the tank or are enclosed in a steel immersible housing which is mounted inside the tank. The sound waves produced by these transducers cause disruption of the liquid as alternate positive and negative pressure areas are produced resulting in vacuum cavities or cavitation bubbles. These bubbles are created during negative pressure periods, grow larger over several cycles and then collapse. The pressure exerted by the imploding bubbles accomplishes a scrubbing action which results in rapid, efficient and gentle cleaning. The small size of the bubbles permits their penetration into areas that cannot be reached.
