Ultrasonic parts cleaning is a result of high frequency sound waves introduced into a cleaning liquid by means of a series of “transducers” mounted to the cleaning tank. The sound travels throughout the tank and creates waves of compression and expansion in the liquid. In the compression wave, the molecules of the cleaning liquid are tightly compressed together. Conversely, in the expansion wave, the molecules are rapidly pulled apart. The expansion is so dramatic that the molecules are ripped apart, creating microscopic bubbles.

The bubbles are not seen by the naked eye since they are so small and exist for only a split second of time. The bubbles contain a partial vacuum while they exist. As the pressure around the bubbles becomes greater, the fluid around the bubble rushes in, collapsing the bubble very rapidly. This violent collapse, combined with the liquid jets’ velocity, provides a very intense cleaning/scrubbing action in a small area. This scrubbing action exists throughout the cleaning bath. When utilizing detergents designed for aspecific application, a synergistic cleaning action is produced.

Operating Theory:

High frequency sound waves introduced into the cleaning fluid produce a physical effect known as ultrasonic cavitation. Cavitation is the formation and immediate collapse and subsequent implosion of microscopic bubbles in the fluid which gently remove the grease and oil contaminates.

1. 600 watt generator
2. 25/40 HZ crossfire hermetically sealed stainless steel submersible transducer
3. Several transducers per submersible pack
4. 10-15 peak watts per gallon
5. Radio frequency shielded cable connecting transducers to generator to prevent interference with other devices
6. Programmable digital temperature controller with large digits
7. Maximum temperature of 165°
8. Cleaning chamber size width 22”, length 15”, depth 14”
9. Tank capacity of 20 gallons.
10. 110V generator and heating power
11. 750 watts of heating power
12. 60 minute timer
13. Best operating temperature is between 120° and 140°
14. KleenTec piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers operate at 97% electrical operating efficiency
15. KleenTec transducers are made of ceramic crystals rather than electromagnetics which run only at 50%-60% efficiency

Cautions:

1. Never run the ultrasonic in the absence of fluid. You will permanently damage the ultrasonic transducers thus voiding warranty.
2. Never run the system above 165°. Higher temperature may permanently damage the ultrasonic system by depolarizing the transducers.
