About the Ultrasonic Cleaning Process
Congratulations! You have purchased an Omegasonics Ultrasonic Parts Washer.
But how does Ultrasonic Cleaning work?
When ultrasonic energy is introduced into a cleaning solution, alternating patterns of
low and high pressure phases occur. This process forms microscopic vacuum
bubbles. During the subsequent high pressure phases, the bubbles implode
violently. This is called cavitation.
Cavitation provides an intense scrubbing action that leads to an unsurpassed cleaning speed
and consistency when compared with simple soaking or immersion with agitation.
Additionally, the bubbles are small enough to penetrate even microscopic crevices, cleaning
them thoroughly and consistently. As a result, ultrasonic cleaning is one of the most highly
effective and efficient methods you can use for cleaning a wide array of items.
Omegasonics provides a complete line of quality ultrasonic cleaning washers that have been
developed for industries that have historically used technology that is quickly becoming
outdated. While other companies use environmentally harmful cleaning solvents, we
provide state-of-the-art, labor saving, fast, efficient and environmentally safe alternatives.
