ULTRASONIC TANKS FOR CLEANING AND SURFACE FINISHING APPLICATIONS.

T-25: ULTRASONIC CLEANING TANK 

The perfect tool to optimize the cleaning process: high efficiency, reduced treatment times,minimal electricity consumption, and environmental sustainability.

Ultrasonic cleaning is a highly efficient and non-invasive cleaning technique. Adequately powerful ultrasonic cavitation propagating within a fluid is the only way to meet the most demanding and sophisticated cleaning needs of mechanical parts, complex objects, and instruments in the professional, industrial, and medical sectors. Ultrasonic cleaning can restore these parts to like-new condition, especially when combined with the catalytic effects of temperature (programmed heating of the fluid) and specific detergents.

Ultrasonic power is generated by a group of piezoelectric transducers which, powered by electricity with appropriate power and frequency, convert it into vibrational mechanical energy. This generates millions of microscopic bubbles under vacuum that implode in a targeted manner due to the pressure changes generated by ultrasound, removing dirt particles.

Power and frequency are chosen based on the material of the items and the size of the ultrasound tank: small and delicate materials like eyewear, jewellery, gold and medical equipment will generally be treated at a low power and high frequency, whereas resistant and bigger mechanical parts will require higher power and lower frequencies. Typically, the frequencies used in these kinds of applications vary from 22KHz to 60KHz.

An ultrasonic tank is constructed as a single unit comprising piezoelectric transducers that radiate ultrasonic energy into the cleaning liquid (usually glued to the bottom or side of the tank) and the ultrasonic generator (US) that powers the transducers. The transducers are fixed, and the system is designed to provide a relatively cost-effective turnkey solution, suitable for small and medium-sized facilities. It is a practical, ready-to-use system, easily movable, and relatively inexpensive.

Our T-25 tank model is an excellent example of a machine suitable for a wide range of ultrasonic cleaning applications in laboratories and small-scale industries. Combined with our range of detergents, it provides a perfect cleaning treatment of immersed parts, removing any residual dirt. An optimal combination of ultrasonic generator parameters (power, frequency, and modulation), treatment time, and temperature deliver results otherwise impossible with traditional cleaning systems.

THE CONTROL PANEL

The T-25 tank control panel includes:

  • Knob for power variation (and other parameters when the system is in programming mode):
  • START-STOP button for ultrasounds; In frequency setup mode it decreases the value.
  • TIMER SETTINGS: button for TIMER activation and automatic stop; in frequency setup mode it increases the value.
  • HOME button to access parameter setting mode, including TEMPERATURE regulation.
  • LCD display (backlit, with white digits on blue background) for viewing operating parameters.
