Ultrasonic Cleaning Applications

Due to the properties of ultrasonic cleaning it has the flexibility to be used across a wide variety of operations.

Traditional uses of ultrasonic cleaning such as in the jewellery and automotive sectors still exist, while recent changes in medical and healthcare regulations have seen a continued rise in the use of ultrasonics in these areas. Meanwhile traditional industrial applications such as surface finishing and preparation and component degreasing continue to use ultrasonic cleaners, and we continue to find new markets such as hollow tube cleaning in aerospace, food preparation and production and hobbyist applications.

The following sections illustrate the different markets to which Ultrawave have supplied ultrasonic systems and provides an idea of the components and items cleaned.

This list is by no means exhaustive, however some of the most common applications include:
