We have seen components, physics, application of various frequencies of Ultrasonic cleaning in our previous articles. The efficacy of the ultrasonic technique depends on multiple parameters such as the balanced combination of cleaning time, media temperature, chemistry and mechanics. Going further, we will see these parameters and limitations of ultrasonic cleaning.
“The ideal ultrasonic cleaning machine allows optimizing the process parameters that can contribute significantly and achieve the desired level of technical cleanliness”
Important Parameters
Optimizing ultrasonic cleaning involves controlling the various standard set of parameters,
- Cleaning Time
- Media Temperature
- Chemistry
- Mechanics
The variation of these parameters impacts the cavitation quality and cavitation effects. We already studied the influence of various range of frequency on the cleanliness result and application of those according to range of particle sizes. Now by adapting the above-mentioned parameters, we can achieve user defined cleanliness results.
What are the limitations of Ultrasonic cleaning?
Now, despite we adapt all these parameters in cleaning tasks, their remains some limitations in this method. In some cases, the limitation occurs due to component properties. For example, the desired cleaning task can not be accomplished on particle generating surfaces of Cast Iron parts when we use ultrasonic treatment alone.
There are few applications where ultrasonic cleaning should not be the only method.
- Parts with difficult geometry, difficult to reach areas
- Particle generating surfaces, e.g. Cast Iron
- Cavitation on sensitive surfaces, e.g. Precious metals
- Parts having blind holes, intersecting galleries
- Bulk parts in perforated metal or plastic boxes
To overcome these limitations, it is therefore recommended to adopt unique approach to assist the mainstream process using ultrasonic cleaning and ensure more efficient cleaning operations. Being the technology expert and worldwide leader in Industrial cleaning market, Ecoclean uses combinations of Injection Flood Wash (IFW) and spray washing together with ultrasonic treatment.
