How a restoration pro earned $1000 in an hour for her company…

June 22nd, 2011 by Frank Pedeflous

When State Restoration called to ask if they could try out a Restoration Pro by Omegasonics® to see how it would handle a contents job, we said, “Sure, send us your crew and we will set them up.”

So Eileen Zark brought over her crew and five palates from a job she was already doing. We gave them about 30 minutes of training, then we stood back to watch the fun…

The contents pros did just what we showed them and they cut through the job like a hot knife through butter. “Amazing…” she said. The workers were having a blast and she confided that she had been doing contents work for about 8 years — the last 4 of which were really wearing her down…but this was totally different! Hey — who wouldn’t be bummed out by cleaning things with Q-tips, toothbrushes and rags?

So how did Eileen and her crew do?

Well, they used to clean about a box per person, per hour. Xactimate pays around $30 to $40 per box. And we asked, “Eileen, about how many boxes did you get done in an hour with Omegasonics Restoration Pro®?”

She said, “About 20 to 25 boxes…,” Depending on where you are in the country, and judging by the Xactimate numbers, you already know that makes it as much as $1000 in just one hour! Imagine what she could do in a day (actually she did all five palates in just 2 days)!

Allen of Wentworth Music shares how he and his music shop uses an Omegasonics ultrasonic cleaner to clean a variety of musical instruments – trumpets, alto saxophones, tenor saxophones, flutes, and more. They even use their ultrasonic cleaner to effectively clean guitar bridges. “It’s coming up to our busy summer season of cleaning instruments… it’s my shop helper.”

Ultrasonic Cleaners: Powerful Equipment for Utility Companies

Ultrasonic Cleaning helps Utility Companies

Many power companies are turning to Omegasonics’ ultrasonic tanks to clean turbine parts faster and ensure high-availability.

Electric and gas companies are relied upon to produce and provide uninterrupted power to their customers. To accomplish this goal, keeping turbines exceptionally clean and in good condition must be a top priority. There are more and more power and utility companies relying on Omegasonics and ultrasonic cleaning to wash turbine parts faster and more efficiently.

The alternative method to cleaning these types of parts via ultrasonics is to wash each by hand with the use of toxic solvents. This takes more than double the time compared to using an ultrasonic cleaner. Thankfully, ultrasonic technology can clean both gas-powered, hydro turbine parts, and solar turbine fuel nozzles with much less time and hassle.

One recent example involves the Southern California Gas Company,  the nation’s largest natural gas distribution utility.  They use several Omegasonic ultrasonic cleaning systems inside their natural gas processing plants. Currently, they employ several Omegasonics Power Pro 8000’s to effectively clean parts from gas compressor engines during routine maintenance.

By switching to ultrasound, Southern California Gas, along with many other power plants across the nation, are able to extend the life of turbine, engine and compressor parts, reduce scheduled downtimes, and improve on their delivered production. Because of this, personnel can spend less time on mundane maintenance and more time on more important tasks… like providing safe and reliable energy to 20.9 million consumers in more than 500 communities!

Ultrasonic Cleaning: The Choice for Food and Drug Companies

January 24th, 2011 by Frank Pedeflous

The medical, food, and drug industries must meet extreme standards when it comes to the cleanliness for processing equipment. Bacteria, germs, dirt, oils, and food particles are all prone to make cleaning a difficult and time intensive task.

However, the good news is that even the most stringent guidelines in these industries can be met with less time and lower costs using ultrasonic cleaning technology. The key is to use mild solutions including citric acid and/or water instead of harsh soaps when cleaning parts used to process or dispense food, supplements and pharmaceuticals.

Ultrasound technology safely cleans and disposes all dirt, minerals, grime, oil, and other residues from any surface. Companies such as Pepsi, Coca Cola, Anheuser-Busch, Miller Brewing and Natural Alternatives are all using ultrasonic cleaning machines inside their plants across the nation. These machines are being used on parts such as:

• Vitamin and supplement processing equipment;

• Soft drink filler valves (which often become clogged with syrup);

• Food and beverage containers and dispensers;

• Baking pans; and;

• Cannery vent hoods .

Using ultrasound will please even your most vigorous inspectors, all while reducing labor and cleaning costs, thus and improving your bottom line.

Beer, America, and Ultrasonic Cleaning

December 9th, 2010 by Frank Pedeflous

Did you know that ultrasonic cleaning is so effective; the United States Navy is putting their trust into this modern technology? The Navy is currently putting an ultrasonic cleaning machine on every battleship and navy vessel. Guns, weapons, electronic equipment and more will be cleaned ultrasonically every day around the world. The U.S. Army is also using an ultrasonic cleaner at their TARDEC testing facility. To get this done, the U.S. army needed a voted of approval for ultrasonic cleaning by the U.S. Senate!

Other American companies such as The Miller Brewing Company® and Pepsi® also are cleaning equipment inside their own plants using ultrasound.

Insurance adjusters are now only using restoration companies with ultrasonic cleaning facilities. Ultrasound can save both you and the insurance companies a ton of extra money. It’s faster and automatic, meaning your crew has more time and energy to spend on other jobs. What happens if those workers forget and they leave the machine on too long? An automatic timer shuts off the unit so mistakes are never made.

These companies and others across the nation are using ultrasound because it’s faster, safer, and improves the bottom line. It has been proven that purchasing an ultrasonic cleaner can save you up to $1,000 dollars per month- paying for itself in less than a year. If you are in the market for an ultrasonic cleaning system that gets you higher paying jobs, then you have come to the right place: www.omegasonics.com.
