Automotive & Aerospace Ultrasonic Applications

The use of ultrasonic cleaners to ensure that intricate automotive components are cleaned has existed for a number of years. In recent times, the recognition of ultrasonics as a highly effective and precise cleaning method has seen the adoption of the technology in the aerospace industry, where precision and critical cleaning is critical.

Automotive

Ultrasonic cleaning is an effective method of cleaning automotive components, whether in a professional garage or when used by part-time enthusiasts. Ultrasonic technology produces an effective yet gentle cleaning action which can reach the most inaccessible surface areas of complex parts. 

Cleaned Components

Ultrawave have supplied a wide range of cleaning baths and systems for use in automotive applications, including Formula 1 motor racing. Amongst the components and instruments cleaned by Ultrawave cleaners are:

• Engines
• Cylinder heads
• Carburettors and fuel injectors
• Wheels, brakes and calipers

Aerospace

The highly specialist and stringent cleaning requirements of the aerospace industry have seen the use of ultrasonics widely adopted within this sector. The nature of the industry obviously requires a detailed and comprehensive quality procedure into which ultrasonic cleaning naturally fits.

Hollow Tube Cleaning

Recently, Ultrawave have developed complex multi-stage systems for a number of customers involved in hollow tube cleaning. By incorporating a pump, filter and irrigation system into the ultrasonic tank, the user can ensure that the insides of long hollow components are cleaned as well as the external surfaces.
