Ultrasonic Cleaning
From big to small parts and components, we promise a consistent deep clean that will extend the service life of your most critical components. Contact us below to learn more.
Our Ultrasonic Cleaning Services
For over 25 years, Western Ultrasonics has been a trusted provider of ultrasonic cleaning services for a wide range of parts and components across multiple industries. Throughout this time, we have continuously refined our processes, developing custom cleaning procedures to address unique and demanding applications.
Our precision cleaning solutions are effective regardless of component size or contamination severity—restoring parts, tools, and components to like-new condition, extending service life, and improving overall operational efficiency.
Common Parts and Components
-
Air filters
We clean air filters to prevent efficiency loss for building ventilation, truck engines, turbine and compressor process inlets and more
-
-
Diesel particulate filters (DPF) and diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC)
We apply pressure blasts and extreme heat (Donaldson system) to clean diesel particulate filters and diesel oxidation catalysts
-
Bearings
We clean bearings to prevent seizing and serious performance problems for process machinery
-
Carburetors
We clean carburetors to prevent performance problems for small engines like lawnmowers and rototillers
-
Circuit boards
Dust and “chemical dirt” prevent cooling of circuit board components, causing heat buildup and higher amperage draw. Our cleaning process prevents efficiency loss for electronics.
-
Engine components (carbon and grease removal)
We restore automotive engine components (like intake valves, fuel injectors, cylinder heads and blocks) to spec or near spec
-
Hydraulic components
We clean hydraulic filters, pumps, reservoirs, valves and motors to preserve hydraulic fluids and prevent performance problems
-
Permanent stainless steel filters
Our cleaning process restores stainless steel filters (gas compressor filters, oil filters, final filters, glycol filters and process glycol filters) to spec thousands of cycles
-
Tool parts
We clean tool parts and components (like removing resin from chainsaw blades) to improve performance and lifespan of tools
-
Additional items
Aero engine (slipper clutch pack)
Aircraft parts
Automotive parts
Air Fuel Ratio (AFR) Element Cleaning
Developed over 19 months of evaluation and adjustment, our custom AFR ultrasonic cleaning method helps provide a thorough clean to large catalytic converters. Our ultrasonic cleaning process removes all sulphate ash from air-fuel ratio catalytic elements while minimizing active-site loss. The AFR cleaning process benefits include:
- Low-cost compliance
- Reduced nitric oxide and monoxide emissions
- Thorough and complete drying to avoid damage on startup
- Timely turnaround
- Manufacturer reviewed and approved

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Ultrasonic cleaning refers to the process of emitting high-frequency sound waves through a liquid chemical cleaning solution in a temperature-controlled tank. The disruption to the solution caused by the high-frequency sound waves creates “cavitation” bubbles that implode on the surface of parts and components, safely removing tough contaminants. No matter how complex the geometric shape, our ultrasonic cleaning delivers high-quality, reliable results, increasing the efficiency and longevity of parts and tools.
-
Yes. Ultrasonic cleaning requires a liquid cleaning solution or degreaser to be effective. The solution plays a critical role in transmitting ultrasonic energy and breaking down contaminants. The appropriate cleaning chemistry depends on both the type of contamination (oil, grease, carbon, particulate, etc.) and the material of the part being cleaned.
-
On average, most parts take 20-30 minutes to clean. Time depends on the size and type of cleaning, with carbon removal from large piston engines taking up to an hour and a half, and circuit boards taking 3 minutes.
