Parts and contaminants · 2 min readCleaning hairstyling tools before disinfectionCombs, clippers and scissors carry hair, product and skin residue that a disinfectant cannot reach through. A benchtop cleaner removes the soil first; disinfection follows as its own step.

Ultrasonic cleaning basics · 3 min readUltrasonic power density: watts per litre, and why big tanks need fewerDivide the ultrasonic power by the tank volume and you get the figure that predicts how hard a tank cleans. Our range runs from about 9 to 40 W per litre, and the spread is deliberate. How to read the number when comparing machines.

Choosing a machine · 2 min readHow to size an ultrasonic tankStart from the basket, not the litre figure: the part, the clearance, the batch and the heat-up time decide the tank.

Ultrasonic cleaning basics · 3 min readDirect and indirect cleaning: parts in the bath, or in a beaker inside itDirect cleaning puts the part in the tank liquid; indirect cleaning puts it in a beaker or tray of its own liquid standing in the tank. Indirect keeps aggressive chemistry and small parts out of the main bath. When each makes sense.
