Functioning 

Functioning 

Today, cleaning by ultrasound is the most modern fine cleaning 
method.  

The electric high-frequency energy created by an ultrasonic 
generator is transformed into mechanical energy by piezo-
electrical transducer systems and is then transmitted into the 
bath. 
This process creates millions of tiny vacuum bubbles which 
implode due to the variations of pressure caused by the 
ultrasonic activity. Highly energetic liquid jets are created. These 
jets remove dirt particles from surfaces and even from the 
smallest grooves and bores. 

3.1 

Ultrasonic cleaning factors 

Basically, the cleaning result depends on four factors: 

Ultrasonic energy is probably the most important mechanical 
factor in the cleaning process. This energy must be transmitted 
through a liquid medium to the surfaces which are to be 
cleaned. 

The present Elmasonic unit is fitted with the innovative sweep 
function device: electronic oscillation of the sound field (sweep 
function) prevents the formation of zones of low performance in 
the ultrasonic bath. 

For saponification and removal of the dirt particles a suitable 
cleaning agent is required. Elma has a large range of cleaning 
media on offer. 

Cleaning chemicals are also necessary to reduce the surface 
tension. This increases considerably the efficiency of the 
ultrasonic activity.  

The effect of the cleaning medium is improved by the optimised 
temperature of the cleaning liquid. 

For Elma cleaning products please observe the instructions 
given on the label or the product information leaflets. 

The cleaning period depends on the degree and the kind of 
contamination and on the correct selection of ultrasonic energy, 
cleaning agent and temperature.
