A Detailed & Gentle Way to Clean
Many industries (military, medical, etc.) have applied and put to task ultrasonic sound waves throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. However, many people are unaware that these inaudible sound waves (between 20kHz and 100 kHz) can be useful for cleaning and restoring materials. Ultrasonic cleaning machines now dominate the specialized cleaning industry – revitalizing everything from fabrics to medical equipment.
At ServiceMaster Restoration by FUSON, we use ultrasonic cleaning technologies to remove dirt, stains, and contaminants from damaged items and goods. Our ultrasonic cleaning methods are gentle, fragrance-free, and highly advanced. They can revitalize objects affected by natural deterioration, fire damage, and water damage. Today, we will outline how ultrasonic technologies work and why they are so effective.
How An Ultrasonic Cleaning Machine Works
An ultrasonic cleaner consists of three essential components:
- The tank
- The generator
- The transducer
The generator’s role is to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy or sound waves. The transducer is the catalyst for this conversion. Pulling from the electrical energy created by the generator, the transducer generates ultrasound frequencies.
When these sound waves hit a high frequency, millions of microscopic bubbles are produced. These bubbles carry out a natural phenomenon known as cavitation or implosion. The science behind this process is quite complicated. However, the gist is simple: When the tiny ultrasonic bubbles collapse, they create a vacuum effect, removing dirt and contaminants from the object cleaned.
Why Ultrasonic Cleaners Are Useful
Utilizing the cutting-edge possibilities offered by ultrasonic cleaners, our technicians can restore items previously irreparable.
Some common items we clean with ultrasonic cleaners include:
- China, ceramics, crystal, and glass
- Plastics and window blinds
- Cooking utensils, silver, and brass
- Stereo equipment, computers, and electronics
Whatever frequency we use, our ultrasonic machines yield exceptional results. We usually use lower frequencies when cleaning dirt and contaminants. The reason behind this is that lower frequencies create bigger bubbles, which clean more aggressively. On the other hand, high ultrasound frequencies are best for sensitive and delicate materials.
We trust them to remove:
- Dirt, Dust & Sediment
- Mold, mildew, and allergens
- Rust, smoke residue, and heat scale
- Chemicals, varnishes, and paints
- Oil and grease
Debunking Common Misconceptions Surrounding Ultrasonic Cleaners
Unfortunately, a few untrue claims about ultrasonic cleaning machines continue to circulate. For one, ultrasonic cleaners are compatible with some aluminum materials. Our technicians are experts when using ultrasonic technologies. We are aware of the nuances of this cleaning method and always ensure each material is screened to be safe for cleaning.
We also respect the fact that ultrasonic machines are not one-size-fits-all devices. Many factors must be accounted for to clean an item successfully. The correct ratio of watts per gallon is critical for optimizing performance. We will ensure the ultrasonic power running is at a wattage level proportionate to the object cleaned and the size of the tank.
Finally, despite contrary claims, repeat cleanings tend to be performed in vain. In nearly all cases, an ultrasonic cleaning machine will achieve maximum results in a single cycle. Therefore, repeating the process is usually a waste of effort and energy, yielding no material advantages.
We Know How to Work Ultrasonic Machines Correctly
Every ultrasonic cleaning process begins with finding the right cleaning solution to ensure the machine works at peak efficiency. We have the experience and expertise to know the ideal solutions for all situations.
Once we determine the correct solution and wattage, our technicians follow these simple steps:
- We rinse the items(s) to remove contaminants and debris (unless rinsing will cause further damage)
- We place the items(s) in a basket and insert it into the tank
- We program the ultrasonic cleaner with the proper settings
- We power on the machine
Most ultrasonic cleaning cycles will last 5-15 minutes. This means your goods will be rejuvenated and restored quickly and efficiently.
