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.

Parts and contaminants · 3 min readCleaning conveyor components in food production with ultrasoundModular belt sections, sprockets, chain links, guides and rollers collect product in hinges and joints that spray cleaning does not reach. Which conveyor parts come off for ultrasonic cleaning, the temperature limits of plastic belting, and how to size a tank for belt modules and sprockets.

Parts and contaminants · 4 min readCleaning engine blocks after machiningBoring, honing and decking leave chips, abrasive grit and honing oil in bores, galleries and blind holes, and one grain in an oil gallery can wipe a new bearing. How rebuilders and remanufacturers clean a machined block, with the tank sizes and loads that fit car and truck blocks.

Parts and contaminants · 3 min readUltrasonic cleaning of cylinder heads for automotive repairCarbon in the chambers and ports, oil sludge under the cam covers, scale in the water jacket, gasket remains on the deck. How a head is stripped, which bath suits aluminium and which suits cast iron, and where cleaning sits between crack testing and valve-seat work.

Choosing a machine · 3 min readWhen to choose a lift systemA pneumatic lift raises and lowers the basket and, while the ultrasound runs, moves it up and down in the bath. It is the answer when the load is too heavy to hoist by hand, when parts shadow each other, or when the cycle has to be the same every time. The AL series from 75 to 2000 litres, with its figures.

Choosing a machine · 3 min readWhat we need to quote an ultrasonic cleaning systemSix answers let us size a tank, pick a frequency and quote without a week of e-mail: the part, the soil, the throughput, the supply, the space and the result you need. What each one changes in the machine, and what to send if you do not know yet.

Operation and maintenance · 4 min readSafety around an ultrasonic cleaning tankHot alkaline liquid, a running bath that causes pain and tissue damage to a hand put into it, noise above the hearing range that is still noise, fumes, and heavy baskets over an open tank. The hazards of an industrial cleaner, and the habits and fittings that control them.

Choosing a machine · 3 min readMulti-tank lines: wash, rinse, dryWhen a clean part has to come out dry and residue-free, one tank is not enough. How a wash, rinse and dry line is laid out, how a transport carriage moves the basket through it, and how to decide the number of stations from the cleanliness you need.

Industries · 3 min readUltrasonic cleaning in heavy industry: energy, oil and gas, mining, railHeat exchangers, valves, pump and compressor parts, turbine components, hydraulic blocks and filters from plants where a stopped machine costs more per hour than the cleaning tank costs to buy. Large tanks, heavy baskets, scale and heavy oil, and the maintenance schedules they fit into.

News and company · 2 min readCustom-built ultrasonic cleaning unitsWhen a standard tank does not fit the part or the process, we build to drawing: tank geometry, lifts, multi-stage lines, drying and controls.

Process and parameters · 2 min readAgitation in ultrasonic cleaningMoving the basket while the ultrasound runs exposes every face of the part to fresh cavitation and stops standing-wave shadows. When it helps and how the lift does it.
