Parts and contaminants · 4 min readUltrasonic cleaning of heat exchangers in industryScale, oil, biofilm and deposits on plate packs, tube bundles and coolers cost heat transfer and pumping energy. Which heat exchangers can go into an ultrasonic tank and which cannot, the two-step chemistry for scale and oil, tank sizes for plates and bundles, and the checks before the exchanger goes back into service.
Process and parameters · 4 min readFiltration and bath lifeA cleaning bath fails in three ways: it fills with particles, it saturates with oil, or its chemistry is used up. Filtration handles the first two and stretches the third. What a filtration loop and an oil skimmer do, when a bath needs them, and how to tell when a bath is finished.
Operation and maintenance · 4 min readEnergy and running costs of an ultrasonic cleaning tankThe heater, not the ultrasound, is the cost. What a 96-litre and a 300-litre tank draw over a shift, where the kilowatt-hours go, and the four habits that cut the bill by a third: lid, timed heat-up, the right temperature, and a bath that lasts.
Choosing a machine · 3 min readDryer tanks: the DT series after the wash and rinseA hot-air drying tank the same size as the wash tank, so the basket goes from one to the other without repacking. What the DT series does, how long a basket takes to dry, and when a dryer is worth its floor space.
Process and parameters · 4 min readChoosing the cleaning temperatureHeat speeds up the chemistry and thins the oil, but above about 80 °C cavitation weakens. Where to set the bath for oil, carbon, machining residue, flux and biological soil, and why our tanks heat to 100 or 110 °C when most cleaning happens at 50 to 65.
Choosing a machine · 3 min readBenchtop or industrial: where the 30-litre line sits and whyBelow 30 litres a benchtop cleaner on a 230 V socket does the job. Above it, the tank needs a frame, three-phase heating, a drain and a real basket. What changes at the boundary, with the figures from our STS, ST and UMX Pro ranges.
