Ultrasonic cleaning is excellent for all precision cleaning tasks, especially for companies within the medical field, precision optics, and electronics etc. Turbex in partnership with Elma Schmidbauer, offer an extensive range of ultrasonic machines, from fully automated, multi-stage cleaning lines throught to smaller floor standing or benchtop machines.
Ultrasonics is the term used for vibrations that are inaudible by the human ear. It is commonly used in cleaning applications and for cleaning components with a complicated geometry where standard cleaning principles or manual cleaning methods can sometimes fail.
Transducers in the tank transmit high and low-pressure waves into the liquid. The compound structure of the liquid tears apart when the vibrations reach a certain level and create microscopic vacuum bubbles near the surface of the desired object. These violently implode and direct a pressure jet towards the surface of the component – a process called cavitation. Ultrasonic cleaning gently and effectively removes dirt particles from all completely immersed areas, even from the smallest grooves and holes. The use of ultrasonics can reduce the cleaning time by up to 90%.
