YOUR EXPERT IN ULTRASONIC CLEANING

Ultrasonic cleaning effectively and carefully removes both organic and inorganic soils from parts, using high frequency soundwaves. Ultrasonic cleaning is also friendly to the environment and cost-saving plus its cleaning the parts effectively on the inside.

Ultrasonic cleaners

All cleaning systems in this category uses ultrasonic cleaning in connection with washing of the parts, and are also offered in combination with spray washing and water turbulence tanks. Ultrasonic cleaning is a washing process using ultrasonic waves with a frequency between 21.5 – 130 kHz to clean the parts.

These ultrasonic waves form cavitation bubbles in the liquid which remove the impurities in the surface upon contact with the parts. Ultrasonic cleaning is used both with solvents and water-based chemistry to remove, lubricants, oil, wax, soot, dust, rust, blood, paint, lacquer, lime, bitumen etc.

The technology is very suitable for complex and sensitive parts that require careful treatment. This can be, for example, a polished stainless-steel surface or aluminum. Ultrasonic cleaning is preferred when working with burnt and hard soils that have settled on the surfaces of the components in connection with the production or maintenance of components.

An ultrasonic cleaner consists of a set of ultrasonic transducers mounted either on the bottom or on the sides of the tank wall depending on the task. These ultrasonic transducers form the ultrasonic waves when they receive voltage from the ultrasonic generator and the type of components may wary depending on the task. Because it is the task that determines which ultrasonic frequency is used for the application and can be seen below:

Ultrasonic frequencyDescription
25 kHzLarge bubbles, powerful ultrasound effect, less gentle, suitable for large parts and hard surfaces.
40 kHzGood ultrasound effect, gentle and suitable for many surfaces and types of parts. The bubbles are of medium size and good for smaller parts also.
100 kHzSmall bubbles, low ultrasound effect, suitable for very sensitive parts, the bubbles are small and suitable for very small holes and tiny geometries.

In addition to the frequency, the number of watts per liter of liquid is also important, because if we do not get enough cavitation in the liquid then you do not achieve the desired cleaning results. The ultrasonic effect in watts depends on the task, but, as a rule, the ultrasonic cleaner must have a nominal power of about 10 watts per liter for the cleaning operation being successful.

Applications

Oils and lubricants

We have delivered a wide range of different industrial cleaning systems to remove oils and lubricants from machined parts and maintenance components. We can clean almost any surface made of metal, plastic, glass etc.

Which type of industrial cleaning equipment such as ultrasonic cleaning or spraywash depends on the specific needs of the customer.

Rust and corrosion

We effectively remove corrosion using our neutral waterbased cleaning chemical combined with ultrasonic cleaning equipment. This solution removes both old and new rust from maintenance parts etc.. The solution is very environmental friendly and effective.

Paint

We have great expertise in removing paint from a large variation of parts. Typically we are removing paint from hooks, fixtures, pumps, painting pistols and nozzles.

Our solutions can remove both liquid and hardened paint which is mainly done with ultrasonic cleaning.

Epoxy

We have a expertise in removing both hardened and liquid epoxy from parts. Which in some cases can be a hard job depending on the type of epoxy.The key to removing epoxy effectively is having the right cleaning chemical and machine for the type of parts and form of epoxy that is being removed.

3D Print: SLA, FDM, Polyjet

We have an extensive knowledge in ultrasonic cleaning of components after 3D-printing, and offer both standard- and customized solutions for the application. We have a complete range of both cleaning machines and water-based cleaning chemicals for removing epoxy and support materials.

Rubber parts

We manufacture cleaning machines for rubber-parts in both the medical- food- and metalindustry. Every machine is customized for the user to meet the specific requirements of the application.

Thermal deburring

We have a wide expertise in cleaning both large- and small components after thermal deburring. During the deburring process a oxide-layer is created on the parts which has to be removed in the production process.
This layer is most efficiently removed using an ultrasonic cleaning system, and specialized chemicals optimized for the application. 

Wire-spark cutting

Efficiently clean the parts after wire-spark cutting, removing the surface layer after the process and achieving the original metal-surface from before the process. The cleaning process is efficiently carried out using ultrasonic cleaning and a special developed cleaning chemical for this purpose.
