CLEANING
, continued
To assist you in determining the proper chemistry and

Crest Ultrasonics operates an
APPLICATIONS
LABORATORY
with a
CLASS 100 CLEAN ROOM
. To
contact the Laboratory, please call (609) 883-4000.
Four basic components are fundamental to every
ultrasonic cleaning system:
1.
Generator
- Crest’s GENESIS Plug-in Generator
Module is specifically designed to power ultrasonic
cleaning. Generator modules are mounted within the
internal compartment of the console.
Please see booklet IM-5310 in the REFERENCE
section of this manual for detailed information about
the GENESIS generator module.
2.
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’s exclusive VIBRA-BAR transducer design is
ideally engineered to provide the reliable, constant
compression levels that are essential to the success of
ultrasonic cleaning. See booklet IM-5310 in the
“Reference” section of this manual for details regarding
and use of VIBRA-BAR transducers.
3.
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.
4.
Cleaning Liquid
- Effective cleaning depends upon
the careful selection of cleaning liquids, matched with
the correct levels of temperature, electrical frequency,
and ultrasonic modulations.
Even the most lengthy and sophisticated systems utilize
these basic building blocks for ultrasonic cleaning.
