Why Use Ultrasonic Cleaning Equipment?

An ultrasonic cleaner uses ultrasound to clean and is used for fragile and delicate items such as jewellery, lenses (for example for microscopes), watches and surgical and dental equipment.

Ultrasonic cleaning equipment can be found in everyday businesses such as jewellers, watchmakers for when needing to clean an intricate timepiece and mobile phone repair shops as ultrasonic cleaning removes moisture that stop mobile phones from working.

The object that requires cleaning gets inserted into the ultrasonic cleaner chamber which has conducting fluid in it which can be either organic or an aqueous solvent. A chemical surfactant is then added and an ultrasound generating transducer inserted or they can be built in to the chamber. This produces ultrasonic waves which create tiny bubbles. The bubbles are so small and they effective clean and remove dirt.

Ultrasonic cleaners are used widely in industry but usually on a bigger scale requiring larger equipment. Semi-industrial (Si model) ultrasonic cleaning tanks are used as single-stage bench top appliances or as part of a fully integrated modular cleaning system. They are designed for demanding production and maintenance cleaning. The Si range consists of standard sizes including options for building a multistage process.
Si ultrasonic cleaners are constructed from stainless steel are designed for heavy duty operation. Cleaner tank volumes range from 25 litres (Si-25), 40 Litres (Si-40), 80 litres (Si-80), 120 Litres (Si-120) and 160 litres (Si-160).

Wash Tanks
• Powerful ultrasonics for precision cleaning
• Booster & Sweep function (Si80, Si120, Si160)
• Welded construction ensuring equal material thickness for long service life
• Full width overflow weir with drain valve for surface skimming or overflow cascading
• Fill and drain valves
• Tank material made of stainless steel AISI316 - resistant to acids
• Level sensor for protection of heating elements and ultrasonics against dry run
• Electronic control panel for monitoring and storing of wash time and temperature
• Double lid with thermal and acoustic insulation

Rinse Tanks
Rinse tanks are used for removing detergent residues from cleaned parts. Spotless rinsing results are achieved with demineralised water.

Hot Air Dryer
This solvent free bench top cleaning system is just one example of the modular flexible range available.
The Si40dr dryer is constructed from stainless steel with thermal insulation, thermostatic temperature control (80C maximum), hot air re-circulating oven design and incorporates a safety thermostat.
