Ultrasonic Cleaning At a Glance

Ultrasonics is the science of sound waves above the frequency normally considered audible by humans (above 18 Kilohertz). When vibrations at these high frequencies are introduced into liquids, areas of extremely high pressure are generated alternately at any given point in the liquid as the sound waves pass.

Under the influence of vacuum, the liquid is literally torn apart to create what is called a cavitation bubble. As positive pressure replaces the vacuum which formed the cavitation bubble, it implodes, resulting in high pressure waves which do the work we ascribe to ultrasonics.

To produce this effect, electrical energy at the ultrasonic frequency is supplied to ultrasonic transducers by an ultrasonic generator. This electrical energy is applied to piezoelectric elements in the transducer which vibrate. These vibrations are amplified by the transducer's resonant masses and are introduced into the liquid through a radiating surface.

The result: Energetic disturbances generated by the implosion of countless cavitation bubbles. These perform the cleaning task by providing micro-agitation through the liquid which safely and effectively "scrubs" the parts being cleaned.
