Ultrasonic cleaning is a highly efficient cleaning technology that utilizes the special physical effects produced when ultrasonic waves propagate in a liquid medium to remove dirt, grease, rust and other impurities from the surface and crevices of objects. This technology is widely used in many industries, including electronics, machinery, medical, jewelry, optical devices, precision instruments and other fields.
The main working principles of ultrasonic cleaning include:
Cavitation: ultrasonic propagation in the liquid will produce tiny vacuum bubbles (bubbles), these bubbles in the pressure of the sound wave quickly formed and then collapsed, releasing a huge amount of energy. This phenomenon is called "cavitation". The cavitation effect is effective in breaking up and stripping away the dirt attached to the surface of the object.
Direct flow: ultrasonic propagation in the liquid will also cause the liquid micro-flow, this flow will help to bring the cleaning agent to the surface of the object and hard to reach areas, to enhance the cleaning effect.
Particle vibration: Ultrasonic waves cause particles in the liquid to vibrate, and this vibration helps to loosen and remove dirt.
The advantages of ultrasonic cleaning are:
Efficient and thorough: capable of cleaning complex geometries and tiny crevices.
Wide range of applications: can clean a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, glass, etc., and will not damage most materials.
Environmentally friendly: Uses water-based cleaning agents, reducing the use of harmful solvents.
High degree of automation: batch processing can be achieved, suitable for industrialized mass production.
Ultrasonic cleaning equipment usually consists of an ultrasonic generator, a transducer (which converts electrical energy into acoustic energy), and a cleaning tank (which holds the cleaning solution and the items to be cleaned). In recent years, with the advancement of technology, the function and efficiency of ultrasonic cleaning equipment are also improving, to meet more diversified cleaning needs.
