How Ultrasonic Cleaning Works

Ultrasonic sound is sound transmitted at frequencies generally beyond the range of human hearing. In your ultrasonic cleaner, ultrasonic sound (sonics) is used for cleaning materials and parts. This is how it works:

As the sound waves from the transducer radiate through the solution in the tank, they cause alternating high and low pressure areas in the solution.

During the low pressure stage, millions of microscopic bubbles form and grow. This process is called CAVITATION.

During the high pressure stage, the bubbles collapse or “implode” releasing enormous amounts of energy. These implosions act like scrub brushes, eroding soils, away. They work in all directions attacking every surface and invading all recesses and openings.
