Happy Friday everyone. I thought I’d share a fun fact about our business!
Some of you may be asking “what is ultra sonic cleaning?”
How does an ultrasonic cleaner work? Ultrasonic cleaning works through high-frequency sound waves transmitted through liquid to scrub clean the surface of immersed parts. The high-frequency sound waves, typically 40 kHz, agitate the liquid solution of water or solvent, and cause the cavitation of solution molecules.
BUT! What is cavitation you may ask?
Think bubbles. Cavitation “bubbles” form when sonic energy creates a void (or cavity) which gets trapped as a bubble in a liquid solution of water or solvent. These microscopic bubbles implode with such force that contaminants adhering to surfaces are dislodged. Ultrasonic cleaning machines scrub surfaces clean through implosions of tiny bubbles.
So the process of ultrasonic cleaning can clean in the tightest nooks and crannies whilst not using any abrasive process’ which could cause damage to your parts!
