The best industrial ultrasonic cleaner is one capable of removing tenacious contaminants and operating over long periods of time regardless of part size.  The parts may be large, such as automotive engine transmissions, or small.   So when you pick the best ultrasonic cleaner for your requirements, the first criterion to consider is its tank size, or its cleaning solution capacity.

A microscope is a device that magnifies tiny objects, or makes them look larger. People use microscopes to see objects that are too small to be seen with the eye alone. Such objects include cells, tiny living things, and grains of sand.

An equally critical consideration to help assure thorough cleaning is the proper ultrasonic cleaning solution formulation. These are also called chemicals or soaps.

To view small objects even more closely, scientists use electron microscopes. These microscopes use beams of electrons instead of light to magnify objects. Electrons are some of the particles, or bits, that make up atoms. Electron beams cannot travel far in air. Objects must be put in a vacuum, or airless space, before they can be seen with an electron microscope.

The best industrial ultrasonic cleaners for very large parts are exemplified by the floor mounted 40 kHz  Shiraclean units available in 7 tank capacities from 25 to 204 gallons.

When cleaning a variety of materials consider a dual-frequency ultrasonic cleaner.  Large capacity cleaning is accomplished in the Elmasonic xtra ST series in 7 tank sizes from 8 to 67 gallons.  These units can be set at 25 kHz for basic cleaning or 45 kHz for fine cleaning.

When flammable solvents such as IPA, toluene and acetone are required special care must be taken to avoid the danger of a fire or explosion if spilled solvent or vapors are ignited by sparks from internal electronics or external sources.

Cost-benefit analyses are important to any investment in plant and equipment.  When it comes to cleaning industrial parts – or any part for that matter – time saved to achieve desired results is an important consideration.

We’ve been busy, working hard to bring you new features and an updated design. We hope you and your family enjoy the NEW Britannica Kids. Take a minute to check out all the enhancements!

For small parts requiring long cleaning cycles a good candidate is the 37 kHz benchtop Elma xtra TT series in four tank sizes from 0.79 to 4.8 gallons and designed to operate continuously to 8 hours.

There are several types of microscopes. Optical microscopes, also called light microscopes, work like magnifying glasses. They use lenses, which are curved pieces of glass or plastic that bend light. The object to be studied sits under a lens. As light passes from the object through the lens, the lens makes the object look bigger.

Most industrial ultrasonic cleaners operate between 35 and 45 kHz, a range well suited to the vast majority of industrial ultrasonic cleaning tasks.

Bob began working as a chemist in 1987 and remains a science geek to this day. After his PhD he worked on the bench in materials and inorganic chemistry for 10 years. He then took on a love for marketing and sales. He combined his passion for science and business and took entrepreneur general management positions in large corporations like Hoecsht Celanese now Sanofi Aventis, Bel-Art and Smiths Detection. There he learned what it would take to run a business and finally Tovatech was co-founded in 2006.

Electron microscopes can magnify objects up to 1 million times. This magnifying power makes electron microscopes very important scientific tools. However, they cannot be used to study living things because living things cannot survive in a vacuum.

Ultrasonic cleaning occurs when billions of microscopic vacuum bubbles implode against surfaces being cleaned to blast loose and carry away contaminants.

The size of an image depends on the lenses used. For example, an objective lens might make an object appear 10 times larger than it really is. This lens is said to have a magnification of 10×. If the eyepiece also has a magnification of 10×, the total magnification of the microscope is 10 times 10, or 100×.

Cleaning solution performance is extended when steps are taken to remove accumulated contaminants dislodged by the cleaning process.  Maintenance procedures are described in user manuals.

As noted above, most industrial ultrasonic cleaning is accomplished with biodegradable, water-based cleaning solutions. These are formulated for specific cleaning challenges and are describe in the post linked above.

Today’s biodegradable cleaning solution concentrates are a far cry from the environmentally unfriendly formulas used in the past.  Rather than go into detail here we invite you to check our tips on selecting an ultrasonic cleaning solution.

If your requirements call for the use of flammable solvents, we invite you to check our post on ultrasonic cleaning with flammable solvents.  It describes equipment options you can consider and directs you to other resources on the topic.

A special type of optical microscope is a compound microscope. In a compound microscope a lens near the object makes a larger image (picture) of the object. This lens is called an objective lens. Another lens, known as the eyepiece, bends the light again. As a result, the eyepiece forms an even bigger image of the image made by the objective lens.

This post provides selection criteria to consider for benchtop and floor mounted models plus industrial ultrasonic cleaners designed to safely handle volatile solvents.

When “off the shelf” units as described above cannot meet your requirements, a customized system can be created with tank dimensions, cleaning cycles, heating and ultrasonic power, electrical power supply, cleaning solutions and accessories based on your specific requirements.  The Tovatech engineering team is competent, flexible and quick, designing and building your system in a short time period.

The magnification of a compound light microscope can go up to about 1,000×. This magnifying power makes it possible to study tiny living things such as bacteria, algae, protozoans, and many types of cells.
