Industrial ultrasonic cleaners work by removing contaminants from an item’s surface using ultrasound and water, or an appropriate cleaning solvent. Certain work environments including factories and manufacturing plants require effective industrial cleaning machines that will completely remove contaminants like machine oil, metal shavings, or other debris from the surface of the items. Rather than washing each part by hand or by using chemical cleaners, which is not an effective use of time and can still leave trace contaminants, many manufacturers choose to invest in industrial ultrasonic cleaners.

Here are four things to know about these machines:

1. The cleaning cycles are quick, allowing you to clean several batches of parts in a short amount of time. An average ultrasonic cleaning cycle is around 10-20 minutes long and differs depending on what type of parts you’re cleaning. It’s much quicker and more effective than cleaning parts by hand.

2. Ultrasonic industrial cleaners are safer and better for the environment. Manual cleaning generally requires powerful cleaning solvents made of toxic chemicals, and pose a risk to your skin, eyes, lungs, and the environment. These toxic chemicals also need to be properly disposed of to meet local environmental regulations. Ultrasonic cleaners use either de-ionized water or water with non-toxic water-based solvents, eliminating the risk of injury or irritation, and they create a safer work environment for everyone.

3. They are more efficient and effective thorough than manual cleaning. Delicate parts like circuit boards or disk drives require a level of cleaning that manual cleaning simply can’t provide. Ultrasonic industrial cleaners have the capacity to clean even the smallest parts thoroughly and gently.

4. Industrial ultrasonic cleaners can be tailored to fit your specific cleaning needs. However large, small, or delicate the parts are, these cleaners can be custom designed to accommodate them, and the gentle water-based solvent won’t cause any damage to delicate parts.

Using ultrasonic industrial cleaners (H2)

Many different industries can benefit from using an industrial ultrasonic cleaner, including plastics manufacturing, medical device manufacturing, flat panel glass processing, machine parts manufacturing, semiconductor processing, aircraft manufacturing, electronics and circuit board production, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and metal finishing, just to name a few.

Industrial workplaces have certain production quotas to meet daily, and ultrasonic cleaners help ensure that valuable time isn’t wasted cleaning parts by hand. They also clean parts thoroughly the first time and won’t require second or third rounds of cleaning, keeping your operation running smoothly and efficiently.
