Go Green with Ultrasonic Cleaning

April 5th, 2011 by Frank Pedeflous

Ultrasonic cleaners are quicker and better than manual cleaning methods, and do not use harsh or harmful chemicals. Ultrasonic cleaning provides faster, safer and more thorough results than toxic solvents ever could. Many cleaning solvents such as carburetor cleaner, brake cleaner, MEK or petroleum-based solvents have been outlawed due to their detrimental effects on people and the environment. Many still remaining are toxic to a lesser degree. Using water-based soaps may not always give you the same cleaning power as the old solvents. They need some type of mechanical help such as ultrasound. High frequency ultrasonic scrubbing action combined with the proper water-based cleaning soap provides a faster, safer, more thorough result than solvents could ever deliver.

Ultrasonic Cleaning is:

(1) Safer for you and your employees;

(2) More forgiving to the environment;

(3) More automatic, thorough and consistent than manual cleaning;

(4) An eliminator of expensive,  time consuming labor;

(5) More cost effective for cleaning precision parts and can give you a competitive advantage in today’s global economy.

In a nutshell, ultrasonic cleaning is better for your workers, the environment, and your wallet.

We’ll test different combinations of factors in different chemistries to find the most effective ultrasonic cleaning recipe.
