Transducer bonded to the base of the tank converts alternating electrical power directly to mechanical energy, which vibrates the transducer at approximately 40,000 times a second, which in turn creates sound waves which travel through the fluid.
The sound waves cause “cavitation bubbles” as the liquid fractures and grow to an unstable size, collapse and implode. (explode inwards)
Each implosion causes extremely high pressures and temperatures and the cleaning fluid rushes in to fill the space.
This process of cavitation occurs 30,000 times a second and on a micro scale which is unseen in the tank – it is however the process which makes ultrasonic cleaning so effective.
Ultrasonic cleaning offers:
