Fundamental Components
NOTE
Even the most lengthy and sophisticated systems utilize these
basic building blocks for ultrasonic cleaning. Therefore, it is
recommended that the new user read
Genesis
or
Powersonic
®
MW-GTI/GPI/GPS
to familiarize him/herself with more
detailed aspects of each component in the cleaning process.
Four basic components are fundamental to every ultrasonic cleaning system:
Component
Description
Generator
Crest’s Plug-in Generator Module is specifically designed
to power ultrasonic cleaning. Generator modules are
mounted within the internal compartment of the console.
If Genesis™ Generator is used; please refer to
Genesis
for detailed information about the Genesis™
generator module.
If Powersonic
®
Generator is used; please refer to
Powersonic
®
MW-GTI/GPI/GPS
for detailed information
about the Powersonic
®
generator module.
Transducers
Convert electrical energy into acoustic (sound) energy.
Usually they are mounted on the bottom and/ or sides of
each tank that employs Ultrasonics.
Crest produced a lot of types of transducer, like Vibra-Bar,
Immersible, Plate type, Push-Pull
®
and Single Push
®
which
design is ideally engineered to provide the reliable,
constant compression levels that are essential to the
success of ultrasonic cleaning.
Please refer to
Genesis
or
Powersonic
®
MW-GTI/GPI/GPS
for details regarding the design and use of transducers.
Tank(s)
In the cleaning console, the processes of washing, rinsing,
and drying all take place within tanks that may be
conveniently situated in the most compact unit possible,
for the ultimate in convenience and efficiency.
Cleaning
Solution
Effective cleaning depends on the careful selection of
cleaning solution, matched with the correct levels of
temperature,
electrical
frequency,
and
ultrasonic
modulations.
