  • Page 9: How Ultrasonic Cleaning Works

    How Ultrasonic Cleaning Works Ultrasonic sound is sound transmitted at frequencies generally beyond the range of human hearing. In your ultrasonic cleaner, ultrasonic sound (sonics) is used for cleaning materials and parts. This is how it works: As the sound waves from the transducer radiate through the solution in the tank, they cause alternating high and low pressure...

  • Page 11: Getting Ready

    Getting Ready Step Action Select your cleaning chemistry (check with your chemical supplier for solution effects on metals). Allowing for the volume of the parts you will be cleaning and cleaning chemistry, fill the tank with warm tap water to the operating level (two to four inches from the top).
  • Page 12: Optimizing Your Cleaner

    Optimizing Your Cleaner Tanks Cleaning - check the tank for contamination whenever you change solution. If necessary, remove contaminants with a nonabrasive cloth and water. Emptying - always unplug the cleaner before emptying the tank. Empty the solution into a proper waste disposal unit. Filling - always unplug the line cord before filling the tank.
  • Page 13: Application Hints

    Application Hints First time cleaning - first experiment with one piece, then proceed with the remainder. Solution level - Be sure to maintain solution level within one or two inches of the tank top. Surface activity can vary with liquid level. Load size - It is faster and more efficient to run several small loads rather than a few big loads.
  • Page 14: Cleaning Solutions

    Cleaning Solutions CAUTION Do not use alcohol, gasoline, bleach, mineral acids, solutions with a flash point, semi-aqueous or combustible liquids in ultrasonic tanks, or you will void the warranty. Only use non-flammable and water-based solutions. Solution Types Water-based solutions are either slightly acidic or alkaline. They include detergents, soaps and industrial cleaners designed to remove specific soils.
  • Page 15 Change the cleaning solution periodically. Cleaning solutions can become contaminated with soil particles which coat the tank bottom. This coating dampens the ultrasonic action and reduces cleaning efficiency. Certain solutions will cavitate better than others. Contact your local distributor for further information. Heat and cavitation: increase the chemical activity of cleaning solutions.

    The ultrasonics will begin immediately to remove the lead from the slide. All lead should be removed within 10 seconds. If your cleaner passes this test, its ultrasonic cavitation is acceptable. NOTE: To ensure consistency from test to test, be sure to repeat test conditions - use the same solution concentration, liquid level, temperature, type of pencil, length of degassing, etc.
