Getting Started: What will I need?
There are three essential components that will be required in order to start using ultrasonics. These are (1): An Ultrasonic Unit, (2): Appropriate Chemistry and (3): the Process.
1.) Ultrasonic Unit
To determine the correct Ultrasonic Cleaning unit for you it is essential to clarify the parts/items which will require cleaning. Determining such parameters as mass, size and quantity requiring cleaning is the most essential part. Knowing these parameters allows appropriate calculation for tank size, number of tanks, Ultrasonic Power (Watts/Litre) and Frequency of Ultrasonics. Sound hard? Its not, because you don’t have to work anything out. Simply Contact Us telling us the mass, size and quantity of parts requiring cleaning and we will work it out for you. If we don’t have a standard machine which is appropriate for the job we will custom design one for you.
2:) Chemical
Chemistry plays a vital roll in how effective the ultrasonics clean. Having the correct Chemical amplifies the cleaning affect of ultrasonics (See "The Enhancing Effect Chemistry has on Ultrasonic Activity" Video) and can dramatically reduce cleaning time as well as increase clean quality. To determine the appropriate chemical it is important to know such parameters as material type and contamination properties of the parts requiring cleaning. Ultrasonics Eco Cleaning Solutions have a wide range of ECO CLEAN chemical products which have been tested and proven to work in many applications. Ask us and we will recommend the appropriate chemical for your application.
3:) The Process
The final component of getting started is to determine the appropriate process to use. This includes determining liquid temperatures and ultrasonic cleaning times. Having the right Liquid Temperature is vital for ultrasonics to work correctly and efficiently. Different applications require different Temperatures and therefore it is essential to have the appropriate Liquid Temperature to get the maximum potential clean out of the ultrasonics. Ultrasonics Eco Cleaning Solutions can/will recommend appropriate Temperatures for your specific application. Cleaning times will vary depending on amount of contamination and contamination type but it is recommended that a regular cleaning cycle process is implemented ensuring parts are cleaned regularly.
