How does ultrasonic cleaning work?
Specially designed transducers transform electric energy into mechanical vibrations. These are transmitted into the cleaning liquid, creating many tiny vacuum-filled bubbles which rapidly implode. This process, called cavitation, releases highly energetic jets of liquid which remove all kinds of contamination from metal, glass, and plastic surfaces. Every surface that comes in contact with the fluid is thoroughly cleaned.

Precision cleaning of your aircraft components is an operational safety requirement – a matter of life and death. Parts need to be thoroughly prepped to meet stringent aviation safety norms. Cleaning being an important element in this process requires special consideration. Traditional cleaning methods are labor intensive and inconsistent. Parts that require cleaning typically require pretreatment before being subjected to an aggressive cleaning regime that could involve water or sand blasting. This can decrease the life of the component material and in some cases even damage the surface.

Ultrasonic cleaning is a revolutionary approach to cleaning that drastically reduces the cleaning time while improving the quality of the cleaning action. The cleaners work on the principle of agitating aqueous or semi-aqueous cleaning solvents using high frequency sound waves. With ultrasonic cleaners, parts cleaning is a batch operation. This saves hundreds if not thousands of person-hours as compared to the traditional process where each part requires individual attention.

The ultrasonic agitation creates millions of microscopic bubbles that implode releasing vast quantities of energy. This implosion or cavitation rapidly increases the local temperature releasing a highly energetic jet of liquid that collides with the surface of the object being cleaned. Ultrasonic cavitation along with the properties of the cleaning chemistry results in micro-scrubbing of the soiled parts
