Introduction: what is ultrasonic cleaner

An ultrasonic cleaner consists of a transducer, ultrasonic tank, and generator. The generator sends electrical energy to the transducer, which converts it into mechanical vibrations, creating ultrasonic waves. When these waves enter the cleaning tank, they cause a process called cavitation, forming tiny bubbles. These bubbles rapidly expand and collapse, creating a scrubbing effect that removes dirt and contaminants from the surface of objects, achieving a thorough cleaning.

How ultrasonic cleaning working

Ultrasonic cleaning uses the cavitation effect, where bubbles created by high pressure repeatedly hit the surface of the items being cleaned. This process helps to remove dirt or grease from the surface, achieving a cleaning effect. This is a physical phenomenon. Ultrasonic cleaning solvents, on the other hand, uses the chemical ingredients in the solvent to break down grease and dirt on the surface of the items, resulting in a more efficient cleaning process.

Type of ultrasonic cleaner by size

1)Portable ultrasonic cleaner:small items

Capacity:0.5-2L

Features: lightweight

A portable ultrasonic cleaner is mainly for personal use. It is small, easy to carry, and store. The outer shell is usually plastic, allowing for different designs that look nice. It is great for cleaning glasses, jewelry, and other small household items.

2)Benchtop ultrasonic cleaner: mid-sized

Examples:2-30L capacity

Features:

Common Uses: Ideal for homes, labs, jewelry stores, and small workshops.

Material: The inner tank is made of 304 stainless steel, which is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion. While its cleaning power is slightly weaker, it helps save space and cost.

• Types of Tabletop Ultrasonic Cleaners:

Mechanical Ultrasonic Cleaner – A budget-friendly option for cost-conscious users.

Digital Ultrasonic Cleaner – Designed for ease of use, featuring one-touch operation.

• Additional Features of Digital Ultrasonic Cleaners:

Degassing Function: Removes gas from the cleaning liquid, reducing air bubbles. This allows the cleaning solution to penetrate contaminants more effectively, improving cleaning performance.

Dual-Frequency Ultrasonic Cleaner: Combines low and high frequencies.

Low frequency: Best for stubborn dirt and heavy contamination.

High frequency: Suitable for delicate or fragile items.

Adjustable Power Ultrasonic Cleaner: Allows users to control the ultrasonic power based on different cleaning needs.

 

3)Industrial ultrasonic cleaner

Large tank:30+L capacity

Features:Heavy-duty construction and continuous operation.

1）Designed for factories and workshops that need to clean large or multiple items.

2）Supports 24-hour continuous operation.

• Types of Industrial Ultrasonic Cleaners:

1)Single-Tank Ultrasonic Cleaner

Has only one tank, made of 304/316 stainless steel, which is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion.

All cleaning steps are completed in a single tank.

2)Multi-Tank Ultrasonic Cleaner

Includes multiple tanks, each designed for different cleaning steps based on the item’s cleaning needs.

Common processes include spraying, washing, rinsing, passivation, and drying.

• Additional Features for Industrial Ultrasonic Cleaners:

Bubble Ultrasonic Cleaner:

Uses air bubbles and water flow movement to enhance cleaning. The combination of ultrasonic cavitation and bubbling action improves cleaning efficiency.

Lifting Ultrasonic Cleaner:

The cleaning basket moves up and down, reducing manual labor while improving efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Filtration System Ultrasonic Cleaner:

Equipped with a circulating filtration system to remove contaminants from the cleaning solution.

Improves cleaning performance, reduces waste liquid discharge, helps protect the environment, and lowers costs.

 

4)Ultrasonic Transducer Plate(Immersible Ultrasonic Plate)

Ultrasonic transducer plate consists of a vibration plate and generator.

Can be installed directly into an existing cleaning tank, converting a regular tank into an ultrasonic cleaner.

Enhances cleaning efficiency and reduces costs without replacing the entire system.

 

Selecting the right ultrasonic cleaner for your 

 

Consider these key points when selecting an ultrasonic cleaner:

1）Size, Material & Usage – Choose based on the size, material, and how often you will use it.

2）Type of Contamination – Pick a desktop cleaner for small items or an industrial cleaner for heavy-duty cleaning.

3）Budget – Depending on your budget, choose a small single-tank cleaner or a larger industrial system (automatic, single-tank, or multi-tank).

4）Frequency & Power – Match the cleaner’s frequency and power to the items you need to clean.

5）Safety & Brand Reliability – Greatsonic has 18 years of manufacturing experience and can provide the right cleaning equipment based on your needs.
