SHORT HISTORY & OVERVIEW OF ULTRASONIC CLEANERS
Ultrasonic cleaning was first introduced to commercial/industrial business in
the early 1950’s and became commonplace as relatively inexpensive home
appliances in the 1970’s.
Ultrasonic cleaning is a process based on a Cavitation Effect caused by high
frequency ultrasonic waves that vibrate millions of tiny bubbles to agitate the
liquid in order to clean contamination and dislodge small particles of dust/dirt/oil/
etc. from substrates such as metal, plastics, glass, ceramic, etc. It is these tiny
bubbles that implode violently that cause this cavitation, which have great impact
and provide intense scrubbing action on the surface of the object you want to
clean. Additionally, these bubbles are small enough to penetrate even the most
microscopic crevices on objects, cleaning them thoroughly and consistently.
Most all hard, non-absorbent materials (metals, plastics, etc.) that cannot be
chemically attacked by the cleaning fluid used in ultrasonic cleaning are suitable
for ultrasonic cleaning.
Ultrasonic cleaning is also widely used to remove flux residue from soldered
circuit boards.
Note: Ultrasonic cleaning does NOT sterilize the objects being cleaned and
spores and viruses will remain on the objects after cleaning. In the medical field,
sterilization of the object will normally follow the ultrasonic cleaning process.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• We highly suggest that you operate the unit while plugged directly into
a grounded outlet with the attached power cord. If you have to use an
extension cord, never use an extension cord that is not grounded.
• Do not attempt to remove any screws or panels from the unit. There are
no user serviceable parts inside the unit.
• To avoid electric shock, never touch the cord or socket with wet hands.
• Do not fill the unit while it is plugged in.
• Always fill the unit with water a little above the fill line that is inside the
cleaning tank. You will see an indentation in the metal on the inside of the
unit’s tank, approximately .75 inch from the top of the tank, and this is the
minimum fill line.
• Always unplug the unit immediately after use and before emptying.
• To avoid electric shock, NEVER immerse the unit into water or any other
kind of liquid.
• NEVER fill the tank with Abrasive or Corrosive Chemicals such as
Mineral Spirits, Lacquer Thinner, Xylene, Acetone, etc.
• NEVER leave the unit unattended when plugged in.
