Cleaning Complex Part Designs using Electromagnetic frequencies

 Many of our customers ultrasonically clean items that have a lot of design complexity, like blind holes, threaded areas, metal folds, or other similar features. Despite the fact that many of the impurities being removed are loosely bound to the surface, the outcomes are inconsistent. Some parts have been cleaned completely, while others have only been partially cleaned. The following suggestions will help you get the most out of your ultrasonic cleaner and achieve the most consistent results.

When your part is submerged in the ultrasonic cleaning tank or rinse tank, it's extremely likely that an air pocket will be trapped within the hole. If air is trapped, ultrasonic cleaning will not be possible, and parts will not be successfully cleaned. Make every effort to position the part such that the design's blind holes fill and drain when the liquid baths are submerged or removed. The only method to do this in most circumstances is to place the holes horizontally or at a small slant to allow the air pockets to escape.

When cleaning a single layer of parts, ultrasonic cleaners work best. When parts are stacked on top of each other, ultrasonic shadowing occurs, where the bottom portion receives much more ultrasonic cleaning force than the top part.

Each part submerged in an ultrasonic bath will absorb some or all of the ultrasonic energy emitted by the ultrasonic transducers installed on the tank's bottom. The amount of energy absorbed is determined by the item's construction material and weight. Ultrasonic power is absorbed more efficiently by heavier parts than by lighter parts.

If you've ever watched an ultrasonic cleaner in action, you'll notice that pollutants are softly removed from the surface of the parts rather than being blasted away. This is especially important to remember when cleaning components with blind holes, details, or parts cleaned in bulk, because the material being calanid's design might trap impurities, preventing them from being released into the cleaning fluid.
