The liquids that are used in an ultrasonic cleaner are a special type of liquid that is used to make the function of these cleaners much more effective. These equipments are devices that allow to effectively clean delicate items or areas of difficult access, they generally consist of a container, in which the object or objects to be treated are introduced, immersed in these liquids through which they propagate. high-frequency waves, causing the effect known as cavitation.
Ultrasound waves ranging from 20 to 400 kHz are typically used, thus generating vibrations that loosen accumulated debris and dirt on the objects being cleaned. Ultrasonic cleaners are used in the medical, pharmaceutical, sports, automotive, aesthetic and engineering industries.
How do you use an ultrasonic cleaner?
To start using an ultrasonic cleaner, you must first take into account the manufacturer’s instructions, the amount of product, as well as the temperature of the liquid to be used.
The base of the solution to be used is usually water, but it will always be necessary to include a specific ultrasound cleaner for the part that needs to be washed. This is key to take into account, because, like all detergents, different specific types will be used depending on the dirt to be cleaned, and the type of material from which the parts to be treated are made.
What liquid is used for ultrasonic cleaning?
Ultrasonic cleaning fluids contain compounds designed to make ultrasonic cleaning more effective. They generally have detergents, wetting agents, and other components, which enhance the cleaning process.
First of all, you must take into account what type of dirt you want to remove: is it grease, oil, welding residue, dust residue. Likewise, it must also be taken into account what material the part to be cleaned is made of, since otherwise it can be damaged in the process. Among these liquids we have:
- Decarbonising liquid, for engines and their components.
- Pickling liquid for ultrasound.
- Cleaning liquid for ink removal.
- Ultrasonic degreaser.
- Ultrasonic sanitizer. These are used for cleaning molds in the food industry, or to remove traces of surgical material.
Other liquids can also be used at the same time, such as additives, which perform different functions: defoamers, antioxidants, among others.
