What Can an Ultrasonic Cleaner Clean?

Surface Coating & Finishing Industry

Removes contaminants: oil, machining chips, abrasives, dust, polishing waxApplications include decarbonizing, descaling, removing polishing compound, degreasing and derusting prior to electroplating, pre-cleaning for ion plating, phosphating, and surface activation of metal workpieces.Also used for pre-treatment and pre-plating cleaning of polished stainless steel products, stainless steel cutlery, tableware, knives, locks, lighting fixtures, and jewelry.

Machinery Industry

Removes contaminants: cutting oil, abrasives, iron filings, dust, fingerprintsApplications include removing rust-preventative oil and grease; cleaning measuring tools; degreasing and derusting mechanical components.Used for pre-paint, pre-phosphating, degreasing and derusting of engines, engine parts, gearboxes, shock absorvers, bearings, fuel injectors, cylinder blocks, valve bodies, carburetors, automotive parts, and chassis.Also cleans and unclogs filters, piston parts, and strainers.Ideal for precision mechanical parts, compressor components, camera parts, bearings, hardware parts, and molds.Especially suited for the rail industry: degreasing and cleaning train cabin air conditioning units, and rust prevention, derusting, and degreasing of various locomotive components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much does an ultrasonic cleaner cost? What is a typical budget?

A: Small benchtop ultrasonic cleaners start at a few hundred dollars. Manual industrial units typically cost several thousand dollars, while fully automated systems range from tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand dollars. Prices vary based on configuration and specifications.

Q: How do I choose the right power and frequency?

A: Ultrasonic frequencies typically range from 28kHz to 120kHz.For aqueous cleaning solutions, lower frequencies provide stronger cavitation and physical cleaning power. Most general applications use 28–40kHz.

Q: Are ultrasonic cleaners harmful to humans?

A: No, ultrasonic cleaners are safe for human use.Ultrasound refers to sound waves above 20kHz, divided into low, medium, and high bands. The human hearing range is only 20Hz to 20,000Hz, so ultrasound is inaudible and non-hazardous.

Q: Is an ultrasonic cleaner the same as an ultrasonic wave cleaner?

A: Yes, they refer to the same device — only the terminology differs. Customers in Taiwan often use the term “ultrasonic wave cleaner.”

Q: Are ultrasonic cleaners easy to operate?

A: Operation is straightforward.Simply add the cleaning solution, place items into the tank, power on the unit, and follow the operating manual or instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Q: Can ultrasonic cleaners clean clothes?

A: Yes, but not industrial ultrasonic cleaners.There are small, portable ultrasonic laundry devices, designed specifically for fabric cleaning.
