Steel Aqueous Ultrasonic Cleaners

Aqueous ultrasonic cleaners are environmentally benign, technically feasible alternative to solvent cleaning. The medium used for cleaning is predominantly water compounded with Alkali, Surfactants, Water conditioners, Corrosion inhibitors, Foam stabilizers etc. Aqueous ultrasonic cleaners in many cases have replaced solvents without sacrificing cleaning performance. However due to the nature of solvent used, successful implementation of aqueous ultrasonic cleaning system require a careful design effort necessitated due to the multistage operations involved like - 1) Cleaning with aqueous solution 2) Removal of contaminated solution with water rinse 3) Removal of water 4) Hot air drying While solvent based cleaning primarily rely on chemical properties of the solvent, whereas aqueous ultrasonic cleaning system rely on the mechanical properties like high-pressure spray, Ultrasonic agitation, dunking, etc. Apart from the chemical properties of the aqueous medium. Therefore it is always recommended to have higher ultrasonic power per liter of volume. (Normally 16 to 20 watts per liter.)
