Before-After-Cleaning
FAQ:
1. Which cleaning solution should I use?
A number of detergents, wetting agents, and other such components
are used in the making of a modern ultrasonic cleaning solution.
And there is a variety of formulations available from which you can
take your pick depending on the application. Selecting a proper
solution is very important for a satisfactory cleaning job and to
stop unwanted reactivity with the part being cleaned.
2. Which cleaning solution shouldn’t I use?
Flammables or solutions that have very low flash points should
never be used. Cavitation releases energy which is then turned into
heat and kinetic energy. As a result of that, high temperature
gradients in the solutions are produced. This can be very hazardous
for the part being cleaned. Acids, bleach, and bleach by-products
should generally be avoided. but maybe used with indirect cleaning
in a proper indirect cleaning container, such as a glass beaker,
and appropriate care. Strong acid or alkaline cleaning solution
will damage stainless steel tanks, to overcome this problem, pls
use a mild PH solution.
3. When should the ultrasonic solutions be changed?
The solution should be changed when the solution is very dirty or
depleted or when you notice a decrease in cleaning action. However,
you must remember that every cleaning session does not require a
new batch of solutions.
4. What are direct and indirect cleaning?
Direct cleaning occurs when the parts are cleaned in the cleaning
solution which fills the cleaner. Usual the parts inside the mesh
cleaning basket.
Indirect ultrasonic cleaning is used when the parts to be cleaned
are placed in a removed tank or beakers that contains cleaning
chemical that could damage the ultrasonic cleaner.
5. How to Maintain Your Ultrasonic Cleaners?
In order to function, the ultrasound cleaner needs an adequate
solution and by now, you should know to Strong acid or alkaline
cleaning solution will cause corrosion, rust, and even puncture of
the tank or machine body. To overcome this problem, dilute to mild
PH solution or request for a tank made of a specific grade of
stainless steel like SUS304.
Always unplug the unit before draining the solution. Leaving the
heating elements energized by accident can cause them to overheat
and fail. Also, water and electricity don’t mix, and the
combination can be lethal when the human body is involved with
excess splashing.
DO NOT operate the unit without fluid in the tank. When filling the
tank, always ensure that the “MAX” marking is not exceeded.
Do not run the device for an extended time or continuously.
Do not hit the device. Be careful when moving the device.
Use a piece of cloth to clean and dry the tank after using it.
