Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems

Ultrasonic cleaning systems are advanced solutions designed to deliver precision cleaning through a combination of washing, rinsing, and drying stages, tailored to meet specific application requirements. These systems efficiently remove contaminants such as oils, grease, particulate, and residues from intricate and industrial components, ensuring consistent, high-quality results.

Ultrasonic systems can be configured in two primary designs:

  • Single-Chamber Systems: These systems process parts in a single enclosed chamber where fluids are introduced and removed sequentially for each stage. This method minimizes fluid cross-contamination and reduces handling, making it ideal for compact, high-precision cleaning applications.

  • Multi-Tank Systems: In this setup, parts move through separate tanks dedicated to washing, rinsing, and drying stages. Movement between tanks can be performed manually or fully automated with robotic handling for increased efficiency and repeatability. This configuration is particularly beneficial for high-throughput industrial processes requiring optimized cleaning performance.

Both configurations provide customizable options such as filtration, heating, ultrasonic frequency control, and automated process integration to enhance cleaning efficiency across industries like aerospace, medical devices, automotive, and precision manufacturing.

Single-Tank Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems

Single-tank ultrasonic cleaning systems offer a versatile, space-saving solution for precision cleaning applications, integrating multiple cleaning technologies within a single enclosed chamber. These systems streamline the cleaning process by performing washing, rinsing, and drying in one unit, eliminating the need for multiple tanks while optimizing efficiency and contamination control.

Key Features & Capabilities:

  • Multi-Stage Cleaning in One Tank: Incorporates spray washing, ultrasonic cavitation, agitation, and multi-fluid cleaning to accommodate various cleaning needs.

  • Optional Rotary Basket: Enhances cleaning for complex geometries by providing controlled movement during the cleaning process.

  • Ultrasonic Cleaning: Provides deep penetration into intricate surfaces for effective contaminant removal.

  • Advanced Drying Technology: Includes vacuum drying, heated recirculating air, and nitrogen purging for complete moisture removal.

  • Customizable Automation: Systems can be designed with programmable controls, fluid management, and process optimization for repeatable, high-precision cleaning.

Designed for industries requiring strict cleanliness standards, single-tank ultrasonic cleaning systems provide an efficient, lean solution for high-performance cleaning with minimal footprint.

Ultrasonic Cleaning Consoles – Manual or Automated Solutions

Ultrasonic cleaning consoles are versatile, multi-tank systems designed to provide a complete cleaning process tailored to specific applications. These systems are typically operated manually, allowing for hands-on control of wash, rinse, and drying stages. By combining ultrasonic cleaning with spray rinse, immersion rinse, and drying options, these consoles offer an efficient and flexible cleaning solution for industries requiring high-precision results.

Standard Manual Cleaning Configurations:

  • Ultrasonic Wash Tanks: Utilize cavitation for deep cleaning and contaminant removal.

  • Spray Rinse Tanks: Provide targeted rinsing to effectively remove cleaning agents.

  • Immersion Rinse Tanks: Ensure thorough rinsing with cascading or ultrasonic-assisted immersion.

  • Drying Tanks: Options include heated air drying, vacuum drying, and nitrogen purging for moisture removal.

Automation Upgrade for Process Consistency

For enhanced efficiency, process consistency, and reduced manual labor, ultrasonic cleaning consoles can be upgraded with automation features. Automation ensures repeatable results while optimizing throughput and minimizing handling errors.

  • Robotic Material Handling: Automatically moves parts between tanks for a seamless cleaning process.

  • Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC): Allows precise control of cycle times, temperature, ultrasonic frequency, and fluid management.

  • Automated Lift & Transfer Systems: Maintains consistent immersion and withdrawal speeds to enhance cavitation and prevent recontamination.

  • Pre-Programmed Multi-Stage Sequences: Customizable workflows optimize cleaning cycles for specific contaminants and part geometries.

  • Real-Time Monitoring & Data Logging: Tracks critical process parameters to ensure quality control and efficiency.

Whether operated manually or upgraded with automation, ultrasonic cleaning consoles provide a reliable, scalable, and high-performance solution for industries such as aerospace, medical devices, automotive, and precision manufacturing.
