Cavitation is the rapid creation, and destruction, of tiny little vacuum bubbles or "cavities" in a liquid. "How on earth does that clean anything?" you may ask. Well, the process is rather interesting. These little microscopic bubbles, when forced into contact with a solid surface, collapse. When they collapse, the surrounding liquid fires into the area the bubble once occupied, which creates an intense "scrubbing" action as the cleaning solution rushes against the object being cleaned.

Ultrasonic cleaning is generally safe for most materials. However, it is important to use the correct cleaning solution and cleaning time for the specific material you are cleaning. Some materials may be damaged by ultrasonic cleaning, such as soft plastics and rubber.

Degassing is the process of removing air bubbles from a cleaning solution. Air bubbles can reduce the effectiveness of ultrasonic cleaning. To degass a cleaning solution, simply run the ultrasonic cleaner for 5-10 minutes without anything in the tank.

The size and shape of items that can be cleaned depend on the size and design of the ultrasonic cleaner. Some units have larger tanks and more powerful transducers, allowing for the cleaning of larger or irregularly shaped objects.

Ultrasonic cleaners are generally safe when used as directed. However, it's important to follow safety guidelines provided by the manufacturer, including wearing appropriate protective gear if necessary.

The cleaning time depends on the type and amount of contamination, but typical cleaning cycles last between 3 to 10 minutes. It's essential to follow our recommendations and not exceed the suggested cleaning times.

While tap water can be used, using a dedicated ultrasonic cleaning solution is often more effective. The type of solution depends on the items being cleaned. Hard water may leave deposits and reduce cleaning efficiency over time.

Ultrasonic cleaners are versatile and can be used to clean a wide range of items, including jewellery, watches, eyeglasses, dental and surgical instruments, electronic components, firearm parts, and various small mechanical parts.

Ultrasonic cleaners work by producing ultrasonic waves, usually in the frequency range of 20 to 40 kHz, which create microscopic bubbles in the cleaning solution. The implosion of these bubbles generates powerful shock waves, dislodging contaminants from surfaces.

An ultrasonic cleaner is a device that uses high-frequency sound waves to create cavitation bubbles in a cleaning solution. These bubbles implode, generating shock waves that effectively remove dirt, grease, and contaminants from various objects.
