Parts and contaminants · 3 min readUltrasonic cleaning of stainless steel food contact partsValves, pump rotors, fittings, nozzles, sieves and change parts in AISI 304 and 316 stay hygienic only if their surface stays clean and passive. How ultrasonic cleaning fits between dismantling and disinfection, the chemistry that protects stainless, the mistakes that make it rust, and how the result is verified.
Parts and contaminants · 4 min readUltrasonic cleaning of bearings and mechanical componentsOld grease, wear particles and dirt out of dismounted bearings, gears and couplings so they can be inspected and reused. Which bearings to clean and which never to wash, the settings, and the steps that stop a clean bearing from rusting or being damaged before it is greased again.
Parts and contaminants · 3 min readUltrasonic cleaning of brake calipers for reuseBrake dust, road grime, old fluid and surface rust come off a stripped caliper in one cycle, without dry brushing or blasting the bores. What is removed before the bath, the settings for cast-iron and aluminium calipers, and the steps between the bath and a caliper that is safe to refit.
Process and parameters · 4 min readCleaning liquids for ultrasonic cleaningWater with a detergent does most jobs. Which chemistry for oil, carbon, oxide and flux, what never goes in the tank, and why concentration and temperature matter as much as the product.
Process and parameters · 4 min readRinsing and drying after ultrasonic cleaningThe wash lifts the soil; the rinse takes the wash off the part; the dryer takes the rinse off. Skip either and the part carries a film of detergent, or water in every blind hole. How each stage is done, from a bucket to a DT dryer tank.
Parts and contaminants · 3 min readRemoving rust, scale and oxideUltrasound alone does not remove rust; the chemistry does, and the ultrasound makes it fast and complete. Which chemistries work on steel, aluminium, brass and copper, why they do not go in a standard tank, and how to protect the bare metal you have just exposed.
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.
