Concept of ultrasonic cleaning tank

An ultrasonic cleaning tank is a device that operates on the principle of using high-frequency ultrasound waves to clean all surfaces and hidden corners of objects. You just need to put the parts that need to be cleaned into the specialized solution tank, then turn on the machine. Under the influence of ultrasonic waves, the cleaning solution will create millions of tiny air bubbles, penetrating into every crevice, removing dirt and stubborn stains in just a short time.

The design of an ultrasonic cleaning tank is usually in the form of a tank with many different capacities such as 5 liters, 10 liters, 15 liters or 20 liters, suitable for a variety of usage needs. This device is widely used in many fields, from manufacturing industry, healthcare to laboratories and even in daily life.

Operating principle of the machine

Ultrasound waves, when transmitted through a liquid solution, create high pressure, forming thousands of tiny air bubbles. These air bubbles play the role of cleaning items by getting into every corner and effectively removing dirt.

The bubbling phenomenon you see in the ultrasonic cleaning tank is the process of formation and activity of air bubbles. Under the influence of negative pressure, these air bubbles continuously contract and explode, taking with them stains firmly attached to the surface of the specimen, helping to clean quickly and thoroughly.

The pressure in the tank is designed to be different from the outside environment, creating ideal conditions for the equipment to operate optimally. This is the reason why ultrasonic cleaning tanks are always highly appreciated for their cleaning efficiency, even with small and hard-to-reach details.

Classification of ultrasonic cleaning tanks

Based on structure and application, ultrasonic cleaning tanks are often classified into three main types: mechanical, digital, and industrial. Each type has its own characteristics, meeting the diverse needs of users.

Mechanical ultrasonic cleaning tank

Simple design with two adjustment buttons: on/off and timer, and the ability to set the temperature. The mechanical tank line has a compact size, suitable for basic cleaning tasks such as cleaning mechanical parts, molds, molds, and PCB electronic circuit boards. This is an economical choice for applications that do not require too high precision.

Digital ultrasonic cleaning tank

Equipped with a modern electronic display screen, the digital tank line brings convenience thanks to the ability to monitor time, temperature, and cleaning progress. This type of tank is often used in fields that require high precision such as the jewelry industry, laboratories, or research institutes.

Industrial ultrasonic cleaning tank

Designed to handle large workloads, industrial washing tanks have a powerful capacity, up to 1500W, superior to other tank lines. Thanks to its ability to operate continuously and durably, this tank line is especially suitable for large-scale industrial applications, meeting the needs of cleaning large or difficult-to-clean equipment and components.

Application of ultrasonic cleaning tank

Below are some common applications of ultrasonic cleaning tanks:

In the medical and hospital fields

At hospitals, ultrasonic cleaning tanks play an important role in cleaning medical instruments. This device is used to thoroughly clean surgical instruments and reusable medical devices, ensuring effective removal of blood, tissue, and other contaminants. The support of the ultrasonic cleaning tank helps prevent the phenomenon of "cross infection," protecting the safety of patients and medical staff.

In the laboratory

In laboratories, keeping tools clean and sterile is essential to ensure the accuracy of experiments. Ultrasonic cleaning tanks are used to clean glassware, test tubes, and other equipment. This process not only removes dirt but also sterilizes tools, contributing to improving the quality and reliability of experimental results.

Cleans residue effectively

During use, equipment and items often oxidize, forming stubborn deposits that are difficult to remove. Ultrasonic cleaning tank is the most effective solution to handle this problem. With powerful ultrasonic waves, the device can clean scale layers without affecting the shape, size or properties of the specimen.

Unlike conventional methods, using an ultrasonic cleaning tank not only saves time but also significantly reduces effort. This is considered the most optimal way to ensure the specimen surface is always clean and shiny.

Application in mineral and gem mining

In the mineral and gem mining industry, cleaning specimens after excavation always requires care. Ultrasonic cleaning tank helps remove dirt, sand and soil from samples without damaging their structure or properties.  

In particular, digital and industrial ultrasonic cleaning tanks are often popular thanks to their large capacity and durable operation. Users just need to place the sample in the tank, set the appropriate temperature and time, the device will automatically process and deliver optimal results.
