Page 7: Functioning
Functioning Today, cleaning by ultrasound is the most modern fine cleaning method. The electric high-frequency energy created by an ultrasonic generator is transformed into mechanical energy by piezo-electrical transducer systems and is then transmitted into the bath. This process creates millions of tiny vacuum bubbles which implode due to the variations of pressure caused by the ultrasonic activity. -
