subject: Ultrasonic Cleaning Equipment, Most Preferred For Cleaning [print this page] The most preferred techniques of cleaning which various industries incorporate with is the use of the ultrasonic cleaning equipment that uses the ultrasonic technology to perform. Ultrasonic cleaners are ideal for the cleaning of precision parts and can be used in conjunction with vapour degreasing. This cleaning system is very diverse and versatile and that is the reason, they may be used in almost any type of cleaning applications from plastics to metals, and are commonly used in the electronics, automotive, engineering and printing industries.
The best thing about ultrasonic cleaning equipment is that they require low labour to operate, low maintenance, very fast and efficient and very trustable. Because of the versatility of these applications, they can be used in a wide range of industries, as the variety of materials it can be applied to is vast; some of the materials it is commonly used to clean can include Copper, Aluminium, Brass, Stainless steel, Plastics and Glass.
Some of the industries which generally use the ultrasonic cleaning equipment include automotive, military, medical, optical and general engineering industry. Ultrasonic cleaning applications can include; Jewellery, watch making, engineering parts: Carburettors, Electronics and computers
Ultrasonic cleaning equipments can be used in the processing of slurries and liquids, and it helps by improving the chemical reactions in different applications used in industries. In the steel industry for over forty years ultrasonic technology was used for flaw detection and then later on for the measurement of wall thickness.
The term sonic is applied to ultrasound waves which have very high amplitudes.
Very high powered ultrasonic rays produce distortion in a medium and applications can include; irradiation of fluid suspensions, ultrasonic welding and the cleaning of surfaces. Low power ultrasonic waves can be used in medical imaging, structure testing and sonar and they do not cause distortions.
B&M Longworth is equipped with the latest ultrasonic cleaning technology and specialise in chemical cleaning, industrial degreasing, ultrasonics cleaning system, heat exchanger cleaning and refurbishment of a wide range of components that require de-contaminating.
