Batch Ultrasonic Applications
Batch cleaning applications are those in which the product is situated in a basket or shop tote with a quantity of other parts. These form a .nest. of parts and have been the most common way of handling product through manufacturing operations for many years. Often these nests create difficulty in obtaining uniform cleaning or even getting parts clean period. Tight nests can extend cleaning times or require much larger systems to achieve desired production rates.
Using high power ultrasonics uniquely available from Power Sonics helps to penetrate the nest and .scrub. within the nest with high power cavitation. Some typical applications include:
- Clean prior to plating or coating operations
- Remove machining oils and chips from metals and plastics
- Remove stamping oils
- Remove grinding residues
- Remove oils, fuels and dirt on remanufactured parts
- Remove oils and dye penetrates for aerospace and auto industries
- Remove polishing, lapping and burnishing compounds
- Clean glass and optics
- Clean prior to and after brazing and soldering
- Clean and brighten copper and brass
- Clean molds for latex and other products
- Clean stainless filter
- Clean condensers and radiators
