Industry & Manufacturing Applications

Ultrasonic cleaning is an ever more used technology in industrial and manufacturing environments due to increased recognition of its excellent cleaning capabilites and as an alternative to the use of solvents. With the introduction of stricter legislation regarding solvent emissions, companies are being forced into finding alternative methods, and the environmentally friendly properties of ultrasonic technology make this a viable alternative.

Power Plants and Suppliers

Ultrawave have supplied many companies based in the power and energy supply industry with complex ultrasonic systems. Used in facilities such as petroleum plants and for decommissiong nuclear power sites, ultrasonic cleaning technology is ideal for use in this industry.

Marine

The use of ultrasonic cleaning in the shipping industry is growing rapidly. Used to clean and recondition lube oil filters, ultrasonics is far more efficient than traditional manual methods. 

Manufacturing

Ultrasonics can be used in a number of manufacturing processes as an effective, repeatable and efficient cleaning and degreasing method.  Applications in manufacturing include removing debris from paper moulds and injection moulding tools, surface finishing and cleaning of PCBs and other electrical components. 

Gunsmithery

Ultrasonic cleaning is one of the most effective methods for cleaning guns and provides military and police organisations with a uniform standard of cleanliness while ensuring that the impossible to reach by hand areas are effectively cleaned.

Music

Ultrawave have recently supplied companies in the musical industry with ultrasonic systems for cleaning and finishing brass musical instruments. The gentle cleaning action of ultrasonics ensures that contaminants are removed without damage being caused to the surface of the instrument. Other applications in the musical industry in which ultrasonic technology is used include the cleaning of nickel coated magnets for use in audio speakers. 

Food

Ultrasonics is becoming more and more recognised as an effective technology in the food preparation and production industries. Used to clean items such as cheese moulds and injection devices, research and investigation is ongoing into the use of ultrasonics as a means of preparing food in applications such as meat marinading.
