SWEEPING FUNCTION
Sweep Technology is featured in all of our X-Tronic Ultrasonic Cleaners. An
ultrasonic cleaner with a Sweeping Function uses multiple ultrasonic frequencies
in one tank no matter how many transducers are built into the unit. In ultrasonic
cleaning, sweeping is defined as a purposeful deviation from the center
frequency during operation as a function of time. The result of using this function
is there will be no dead spots in the cleaning tank and will make for a much
superior cleaning result of your object.
Ultrasonic cleaners without the Sweeping Function use just one single frequency
to create the cavitation effect in the unit and this means that there will be dead
spots in the cavitation and thus the cleaning of that object will be inferior.
By using the Sweeping Function, every object you put in your tank to be cleaned
will have perfect uniform cavitation cleaning that object with no dead spots.
Our recommendation is to use the Sweeping Function every time you
ultrasonically clean any object because with Ultrasonic Sweep Cleaning we know
you will be much more satisfied with the results.
DEGASSING FUNCTION
All X-Tronic Ultrasonic Cleaners also feature a Degassing Function.
A degassing process should be undertaken each time fresh cleaning solutions
are prepared. You have the option of not degassing fresh ultrasonic cleaning
solutions but the penalty is decreased cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.
The Degassing Function pulses the ultrasonic power on and off. During the on
phase the bubbles form and coalesce, and during the off phase they rise to the
surface and burst. This is why cleaners equipped with a degassing function are
more efficient than those not so equipped.
So when you mix a fresh cleaning solution in your tank, we highly recommend
that you turn on the Degassing Feature and run it for approximately 5 minutes.
PIEZOELECTRIC TRANSDUCERS
All X-Tronic Ultrasonic Cleaners are manufactured with Piezoelectric Transducers
which have high efficiency, large amplitude, low heat, and stable output
unaffected by variations in load.
The high mechanical quality of Piezoelectric transducers ensures that these
sandwich-type ultrasonic transducers offer high electro-acoustical efficiency and
low heat generation. The mechanical connection of the Piezoelectric elements
assures a large amplitude output.
