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becoming outdated.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.
