SAMPLE APPLICATIONS

INTRODUCTION

Use tap water. Special solutions are not necessary in most cases.

Principles of ultrasonic cleaning:

Millions of tiny air bubbles are generated within liquid by high frequency vibration. The air bubbles burst when in contact with object and dislodge the debris to achieve the cleaning effect.

• Using tap water is sufficient. Purified water or distilled water has the same cleaning effect as regular tap water for ultrasonic cleaning.
• When cleaning silver or copper items where oxidation has darkened the items, special solutions such as SeaClean2, needs to be added to the water to remove the oxidation.

CONTROL PANEL AND OPERATIONS

APPLICATIONS

1. Metal Processing Manufacturers and Jewellery Makers:

   • Ultrasonic cleaning can remove grease or abrasive powder from work-in-process metal items and keep them clean.
   • Jewellery made with investment casting often has wax layer in addition to debris. Turning on the heater will raise the water temperature, melt the wax and improve the cleaning.

2. Biology, Chemical Laboratories:
   Labs can use ultrasonic cleaners to clean test tubes and other glass or metal containers to remove residual chemicals and debris that can affect the accuracy of the test results.

3. Medical Instrument Disinfection Rooms:
   Non-disposable medical instruments may have blood or organic tissues left after use. They need to be removed with ultrasonic cleaners before disinfection.

4. Dental Clinics:
   Dental clinics can use ultrasonic cleaners to clean dental instruments and to remove blood and small particles left on the instruments before disinfection.

5. Electrical Component Manufacturers:
   Terminals on AC contactors and relays need to be kept clean to prevent sparking and non-contact. Ultrasonic cleaning is the most effective method to keep these parts cleaning.

6. Shooting Clubs
   To reuse brass cartridges: Adding special solution such as the SeaClean2 solution can make fired brass casings useable and like new again. Gun cleaning and care: Cleaning guns after shooting is time consuming. Using SeaClean2 solution in the water and using ultrasonic cleaners can complete the cleaning better, quicker and easier than traditional methods.

7. Special Education Institutes / Kindergartens:
   Speech therapy tools or small toys that are reused need to be cleaned to prevent the growth and spread of bacteria. Ultrasonic cleaning can perform thorough cleaning by removing debris hidden inside small holes and crevices before disinfection.

8. Golf Clubs:
   Cleaning the heads of golf clubs is a time-consuming job. Using ultrasonic cleaning with the Enhanced Cleaning method can improve the effectiveness and efficiency.

9. Mobile Phone and Electronics Service Shops
   PCB renewal: Non-operational electronics, after falling into water, or non- operational key pads can be cleaned with ultrasonic cleaners and pure alcohol to recover the functions. Use the Indirect Cleaning method for small-sized PCBs.

10. Printing Shops
    Unblocking dried printer heads or ink cartridges: Large printers and inkjet printers often have dried printer heads or ink cartridge ports. Replacing them with new ones is very costly. Adding acetone or SeaClean2 and using an ultrasonic cleaner with a couple of minutes of cleaning will remove the blockage and make them usable again.

    • Avoid acetone from contacting the plastic housing to prevent corrosion. Use Indirect Cleaning explained later and a glass or metal container for acetone.

11. Automotive Repair Shops:
    The Enhanced Cleaning method can be used to clean precision parts such as valves, injectors, gears and bearings. It cleans out debris in tiny holes and crevices effectively.

COMMON CLEANING METHODS

REGULAR CLEANING

Only tap water is needed.

Suitable Locations:

Jewellery makers, biology / chemical labs, homes, speech therapy clinics, dental clinics, automotive repair shops.

Cleaning Method:

1. Put the items to be cleaned inside the basket and put the basket inside the tank.

3. Turn the power switch on. Press Time button to set the timer to 5 – 10 minutes. Press On/Off button to start cleaning.

Notes on using the basket:

1. The basket reduces the friction between the items and the tank. Stainless steel tray absorbs approximately 8% of ultrasonic energy and a plastic basket absorbs about 35% of ultrasonic energy. This significantly reduces the cleaning effectiveness.
2. During cleaning, dirt will come off like smoke and the water will become murky over time. When “smoke” stops coming, the cleaning is basically done.

INDIRECT CLEANING

Put the items in a separate container. Use ultrasonic waves to penetrate the container to do the cleaning.
Suitable Locations : medical instrument sterilization rooms, watch and precision parts manufacturers, mobile phone and electronics service shops, large printing shops.

Different industries use different fluids inside the container:

1. Watch service shops – Watch oil (to prevent rust)
2. Medical instrument sterilization – Enzymatic solution (cleaning prior to sterilization)
3. Precision electrical parts – Hexane (to dissolve grease, to evaporate quickly)
4. Mobile phone and electronic service shops – Pure alcohol (to evaporate quickly).
5. Printing shops – Acetone is often used (to dissolve ink)

Avoid any acetone, acid, alcohol, amonia or solvents from contacting the plastic housing and control panel to prevent corrosion. Use Indirect Cleaning and a glass or metal container for using such solutions.

Cleaning Method:

1. Put the item inside a container. Add proper fluid to submerge the area to be cleaned.
2. Place the container in the tank directly. Add water to a level between “MIN” and “MAX”, do not overflow.
3. Turn the power switch on. Press Time button to set the timer to 10 minutes. Press On/Off button to start cleaning. Ultrasonic waves will penetrate the container and clean the items.

Selection of container: (Adding a container to the tank will reduce the cleaning effect by the following)
