What is cavitation?
At the heart of ultrasonic cleaning are bubbles. These bubbles are created by sound waves as the waves move through water. This is known as cavitation, which is simply the formation of bubbles (a cavity) in water. If you’ve ever seen the foam left in water by a spinning boat propeller, then you’ve seen cavitation in action.
How cavitation cleans
Since bubbles such as those created through cavitation are just empty space, there’s nothing to keep them open. As a result, these bubbles collapse, or implode, almost as fast as they are created. In our machines, this happens millions of times per second. This constant implosion produces tremendous vacuum energy in the form of heat and pressure. It’s this combination of heat and pressure which give Torrent Ultrasonic machines their cleaning capability and power.
Lower frequency produces larger cavitation bubbles, which results in each implosion of a cavitation bubble having a higher energy level. NCH machines are 28Hz.
What can I clean with an ultrasonic parts cleaner?
Ultrasonic cleaning is based on ultrasound waves agitating a liquid. The agitation produces high forces on contaminants adhering to substrates like metals, plastics, glass, rubber and ceramics. This action also penetrates blind holes, cracks and recesses.
Remove contaminants including:
- Oil, grease and wax
- Rust and scale
- Polishing compounds
- Soot
