New Year’s Resolution: Lose the Holiday Weight

January 13th, 2012 by Frank Pedeflous

ultrasonic cleaning gives you more time to lose weight

Ultrasonic cleaning gives you more “free time” to lose those extra holiday pounds.

Every year during the holiday season, millions of Americans indulge in delicious holiday feasts, drinks, desserts and more. The holidays are definitely a time to celebrate and have fun, even if it means gaining a few extra pounds. If your New Year’s resolution is to lose that holiday weight, then we are about to reveal the key for your success: ultrasonic technology.

We’re not talking about a crazy ultrasonic infomercial product you’ll see at 2:30 in the morning claiming it can eliminate 30 pounds of fat in four days. We are simply talking about ultrasonic technology for industrial applications involving cleaning. So how can an ultrasonic machine help you lose that extra holiday weight?

Implementing ultrasonic cleaning capabilities will generally eliminate 80% of your usual cleaning time typically done by hand with specialized tools. This newly-gained “free-time” will allow you to exercise, go to the gym, or take a nice walk. That’s the secret to losing weight! Ultrasound cleans for you, giving you the time to focus on your New Year’s resolution. It’s that simple!

An ultrasonic industrial parts washer reduces cleaning costs and money in any industry it is used in. As Jay Leno has discovered, even the toughest automotive or industrial parts are instantly cleaned and ready to be installed. Items such as carburetors are cleaned five times faster, and in as little as 15 minutes! With traditional hand cleaning methods this process can take well over an hour, and usually with one or more employees. Forget about the need to supervise them… the ultrasonic unit virtually does everything on its own.

If you have always claimed there wasn’t enough time to exercise or work out and your resolution is to lose your holiday weight, then there’s no more excuses! An ultrasonic industrial parts cleaner opens up your day by saving you time (and money) during critical cleaning processes. For more information, we invite you to check out www.Omegasonics.com or give our team of ultrasonic cleaning experts a call toll-free at (888) 726-3130.

May you, your company, and your family have a happy and healthy 2012.

A New Year of Opportunities for the Restoration Industry

January 3rd, 2012 by Frank Pedeflous

Dear Friends of Omegasonics,

It’s a new year of great opportunities within the ultrasonics and disaster restoration industries. We believe that our success as a business depends upon your success. That’s why we are dedicating more time than ever before to assisting you with good information, education, and training.

For example, through LinkedIn, we are randomly asking insurance adjusters we’ve connected with the question: “Are restoration contractors giving you an honest and accurate assessment on contents claims?” The answers that we have privately received have run the gamut from being very positive to very negative.

Advanced Ultrasonic Restoration Educational Course

In 2012, we know that if we can assist restoration companies with quality training and education, then they will learn ways to improve efficiency and increase productivity.  This will translate into more certified restoration companies and more first class operations that will have competitive advantages in the marketplace. Ultimately, this will lead to better service for the customer, which indeed is the goal of both the emergency service provider and the insurance company/adjuster.

In case you weren’t aware, we’ve started a group on LinkedIn called Ultrasonic Cleaning – Tips, Strategies, and Ideas. There are currently over 120 industry professionals involved, and we’d like to see that number grow. The goal for this forum is to share information that can help benefit your company, as well as the restoration industry as a whole.

We, at Omegasonics, want to be the first company that comes to mind when you think about quality ultrasonic and contents restoration equipment. It is truly an honor to serve you.

May you, your family, and your company have a wonderful and prosperous 2012.

Ultrasonic Cleaning is a Gold Mine

November 23rd, 2011 by Frank Pedeflous

The global demand for base and precious metals continues to climb in today’s vast economy. Heavily specialized machinery is needed for mining development and exploration. Bulldozers, explosives, and drills are all used everyday in different mining ventures. Because of the extreme nature mining commands, safety has always been a long and controversial issue.

One of our clients, Joy Mining Machinery, has implemented safety procedures and programs that constantly monitor the assurance of workplace safety. Not surprising to us, the basis for this program stems from the use of ultrasonic technology to clean and maintain safe and effective mining equipment in the field.

Joy Mining Machinery

Joy Mining Machinery is effectively using ultrasonic technology to safely clean and maintain mining equipment in the field.

Traditional methods for cleaning mining parts involved hours of soaking parts in petroleum-based liquids to remove rock shavings, oils, and dust. Ineffective machines led to broken gears and drills causing an unstable or unsafe environment for employees. By using ultrasonic cleaning, a growing number of mining companies have been able to to eliminate the need for workers to come into direct contact with these harsh and toxic chemicals. Ultrasound creates microscopic vacuum bubbles that remove residue from surfaces not reachable by brushes or picks. By switching to ultrasonic technology, mining companies are able to significantly reduce overhead costs by decreasing labor and inspection times.

For this type of industrial parts cleaning, we recommend using OmegaClean, our water-based cleaning soap that handles the widest range of metals and dirt. OmegaClean also contains a rust inhibitor to prevent flash rusting on ferrous metals.

Mining companies that are using ultrasound systems across the globe aren’t necessarily searching for gold these days, but they’ve sure found it with ultrasonic technology! For more information about OmegaClean, please check out our selection of industrial cleaning soaps.

Have an ultrasonic day!

Ultrasonic Dieting

November 15th, 2011 by Frank Pedeflous

Like most people, you have probably tried to lose weight before. The goal for a successful diet shouldn’t be measured by weight loss alone. Being healthy has a ton of different components to it such as muscle mass, BMI, etc. The same elements also go into evaluating the efficiency of an ultrasonic cleaning machine… more than just one variable needs be accounted for. ultrasonic diet

Some companies may advertise that their “magic” weight loss pill can instantly take off 10 lbs in one week. In our industry, other ultrasonic cleaning companies may advertise their ultrasonic machine is the most “powerful” cleaner on the market. However, when looking to purchase ultrasonic equipment, there are several “factors” that should be considered:

• Tank size

• Generator efficiency

• Power

• Cost

• Cleaning solution

• Cleaning time

Have you ever wondered how some “miracle” weight loss pills claim they are able to shed fat off almost instantly? What it takes to do one task is not necessarily healthy to the body as a whole. Similarly, being the “fastest” ultrasonic machine may sound great… but are other components comprised to build this kind of speed. Ultrasonic technology is already 5 times faster than that of traditional hand and chemical cleaning, but just because some companies promote faster cleaning, doesn’t make it the most efficient.

At Omegasonics, we don’t use the word “fast”, we’d rather refer to cleaning “efficiency”. Every one of our machines uses a generator specifically designed for our machines, which then maximizes cleaning time and efficiency. This not only benefits users in the long run but it dramatically increases ROI while decreasing labor, electric, and soap costs.

The most important part when trying to lose weight is your diet. We feel the same way about feeding our machines! That’s why Omegasonics offers over 50 specially-crafted, non-toxic, water-based ultrasonic soaps for any type of application cleaning. Most importantly they are safe for the human skin.

If you have question about which ultrasonic cleaner or ultrasonic soap is right for your project or task, feel free to contact one of our ultrasonic cleaning experts toll free at (800) 669-8227. They’ll help get you on the path to ultrasonic health and wellness.

 

The Importance of Understanding Different Ultrasonic Frequencies

November 7th, 2011 by Frank Pedeflous

Do you know the difference between cleaning with various ultrasonic frequencies? When should you use 25 kHz as opposed to 68 kHz or 170 kHz?

Frank Pedeflous, President of Omegasonics, shares how using the proper ultrasonic frequency is of utmost importance in getting the best performance from your ultrasonic cleaning process.

Fast Food Cleaning

October 31st, 2011 by Frank Pedeflous

One double burger, chicken, nuggets, fries and a shake… sounds like a pretty typical fast food order. Sure, all that food will fill you up but is all the grease, cholesterol and trans-fat really worth putting into your body? Eating fast food is just like cleaning your industrial, automotive, or damaged restoration parts by traditional standards.

Both choices will get the job done; one fills you up and one cleans. However, wouldn’t you much rather eat a well-cooked steak dinner with a salad and veggies? If you answered yes, then you are just as likely to prefer cleaning industrial items ultrasonically. Metaphorically speaking, ultrasonic cleaning technology is the fine cut steak dinner and toxic chemical cleaning is the greasy double stuffed taco.

“Fast food cleaning” usually involves highly specialized cleaning tools. These types of picks and brushes are expensive, old, and outdated. Most importantly, they are not able to reach some of those tiny nooks and crannies. We all know that preservatives are put into fast food to give it that “fake” taste, which is not ideal for your health. Likewise, the chemicals and toxins used in standard cleaning solvents are also harmful to your skin and health.

Eating a full meal with the right amount of proteins, veggies, fruits, etc. is like giving your industrial item an ultrasonic bath. Ultrasound uses non-toxic water-based soaps that are harmless to both the product and cleaner. When you eat cleaner and healthier, your body metabolizes food faster and runs more efficient. Similarly, when you clean ultrasonically, business operations run smoother and productivity is streamlined. Because ultrasound does the work for you, employees are able to spend their valuable time on other projects.

It’s easy to start cleaning (and eating) healthy. Visit www.Omegasonics.com or contact one of our ultrasonic cleaning experts toll free at (800) 669-8227 for more information… and put down that basket of fries!

 

 

Ultrasonic Moneyball

October 24th, 2011 by Frank Pedeflous

Recently released in theaters, Moneyball is the true story of Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland Athletics. The movie focuses on Beane’s attempt to assemble a competitive team for Oakland’s 2002 season, despite unfavorable finances and resources. What the trailer doesn’t mention is that the premise for Moneyball is actually partly based on the true story of ultrasonic cleaning technology.

While, we are still trying to sign Brad Pitt to star in our movie, the ultrasound story begins in the early 90’s when disaster restoration cleaning jobs required buckets, sinks, untrained employees and crude cleaning tools. Many contents restoration companies in smaller markets were losing processing jobs to bigger restoration businesses with more resources. If you aren’t familiar with Moneyball, Oakland was losing their star players (in free agency) to large-scale teams, such as New York, since they couldn’t price match with the Yankees.

To combat this, Billy Beane began to manage his team with a non-traditional ideology called “sabermetrics”. Rather than relying on traditional statistics such as home runs, average, and RBIs, sabermetrics approaches the game with a new way of thinking. This is essentially what ultrasonic technology did as well. Essentially, ultrasound revolutionized its respective industry. Companies of any size could now compete and even exceed the cleaning capabilities of their larger competitors.

While the Yankees and Red Sox were stocking up with high priced free agents, restoration companies were using traditional, inefficient cleaning methods. With ultrasound, you use water-based soaps, safe for products and many electrical appliances. Likewise, the need for specialized picks, brushes and other tools were eliminated, another cost cutting measure.

Previously, in the restoration industry, it literally took a “team” of employees to effectively wash many basic items such as figurines, electronics, collectible items and more.

With an ultrasonic assembly line system, you can reduce your team size and get more production because the system does much of the work for you! This could be the biggest way to reduce your payroll!

Today, many cutting edge restoration companies have adopted ultrasonic cleaning technology. For a complete list of World Series winning companies click: http://www.omegasonics.com/contents-restoration/certified-contents-professionals.php.

The Grass IS Greener on the Other Side

October 18th, 2011 by Frank Pedeflous

“The grass isn’t always greener on the other side!”

We’ve all heard this age-old phrase before, but what if the grass was actually greener on the other side?

Ultrasonic cleaning - green industrial parts cleaing

Here’s a simple test to find out what side of the fence you and your business are on!

Well, my question is “what exactly is on the other side… and what makes it so green?”

First of all, everybody using ultrasonic cleaning technology is already on the other side. The other side is “green”, SO green that you’ll be saving money every time you use ultrasonics. Our water-based soaps and enzyme solution will save you 70% or more with industrial parts cleaning costs, putting more “green” into your pocket?

Do you know what side you’re on? Here’s a simple test to ask yourself:

1)    Do you have more than 3 employees devoting labor time to industrial cleaning?

2)    Do your cleaning methods include toxic chemicals and/or expensive specialized items such as picks and brushes?

3)    Are some items not 100% cleaned every single time?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, I have some bad news… you’re on the wrong side. But don’t worry, click here to begin your journey into the green.

Here on the Green side (as opposed to the “Dark Side”?), you’ll be using non-toxic biodegradable water-based solutions, all of which meet federal EPA guidelines. It’s safer for the environment and your employees, not to mention it also reduces the need for expensive and inconvenient disposal services!

Even some Hollywood celebrities have gone green, check out Jay Leno’s journey to the “other” side: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p36RPkxa_I4.
