Ultrasonic Cleaning

Ultrasonic Cleaning

This technique uses cavitation which is induced by high frequency sound waves to agitate the cleaning solution aiding in dislodging particles. It is particularly effective for precision parts cleaning of complex parts with threads, rough surfaces and blind interior spots that are inaccessible by other cleaning methods. Ultrasonic cleaning typically employs aqueous, semi-aqueous and solvent-based cleaning systems and detergents. This combination removes contaminants at nearly a microscopic level, with higher sound frequencies generally able to remove finer particles.
