Ultrasonic Cleaning of equipment
Ultrasonic Cleaning Principle
Ultrasonic cleaning is the rapid and complete removal of contaminants from objects by immersing them in a tank of liquid flooded with high frequency sound waves. These non-audible sound waves cause the liquid to act as its own scrub brush.

The process is brought about by high frequency electrical energy that is converted into high frequency sound waves - inaudible ultrasonic energy. The ultrasonic energy enters the liquid in the tank and causes the rapid formation and collapse of minute bubbles: a phenomenon known as cavitation.
The bubbles, traveling at high speed, implode on the parts immersed in the tank, thus cleaning both surfaces and the innermost recesses of intricately shaped parts.

The ultrasonic wash chamber (water tank) is 60"L x 42"W x 38"H and can hold 435 gallons of water.

Ultrasonic Cleaning Schedule
Our regular ultrasonic cleaning schedule is:
Tuesdays & Thursdays:   9:30am - 2:00pm.
For more information Please contact us at 4-6303.
