What Ultrasonic Cleaner Can Do?
ultrasonic cleaners use industrial strength cleaning action to:
Clean carbon deposits from carburetors and engine parts
Removes stubborn oil, grease, lubricants, paint, rust, and dirt
Safely clean any aluminum parts
Penetrate and thoroughly clean small holes, small apertures, and
crevices
Clean sensitive parts including wiring and plastic without damage
Because these parts are cleaned thoroughly, they continue to work
effectively and outlast other parts that may not be as clean. This
process also decreases the need for and the time spent manually
cleaning all of these parts and equipment.

are interested in a high quality ultrasonic cleaner that can
effectively clean all of your automotive parts and equipment,

CLEANING SOLUTIONS
Ultrasonic activity (cavitation) helps the solution to do its job;
plain water would not normally be effective. The cleaning solution
contains ingredients designed to make ultrasonic cleaning more
effective. For example, reduction of surface tension increases
cavitation levels, so the solution contains a good wetting agent
(surfactant). Aqueous cleaning solutions contain detergents,
wetting agents and other components, and have a large influence on
the cleaning process.
Correct composition of the solution is very dependent upon the item
to be cleaned. Solutions are mostly used warm, at about 50-65°C (1
22-149°F), however, in medical applications it is generally
accepted that cleaning should be at temperatures below 38°C (10 °F)
to prevent protein coagulation. Water-based solutions are more
limited in their ability to remove contaminants by chemical action
alone than solvent solutions; e.g. for delicate parts covered with
thick grease. The effort required to design an effective
aqueous-cleaning system for a particular purpose is much greater
than for a solvent system.
Some machines (which are not unduly large) are integrated with
vapour degreasing machines using hydrocarbon cleaning fluids: Three
tanks are used in a cascade. The lower tank containing dirty fluid
is heated causing t he fluid to evaporate. At the top of the
machine there is a refrigeration coil. Fluid condenses on the coil
and falls into the upper tank. The upper tank eventually overflows
and clean fluid runs into the work tank where the cleaning takes
place. Purchase price is higher than simpler machines, but such
machines are economical in the long run. The same fluid can be
reused many times, minimising wastage and pollution. Carbon
tetrachloride was used in the past, but is now prohibited as a
health hazard. Chemicals used in the modern Ultrasonic cleaning
units.
