Parts Washers: Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems

Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics is the leader in the fields of industrial and precision ultrasonic cleaning equipment. We design and manufacture efficient, environmentally sound solutions for tough part washer applications.

It seems that each advance in technology demands greater and greater attention to cleanliness for its success. As a result, the cleaning industry has been challenged to deliver the needed cleanliness and has done so through rapid innovation over the past several years. Many of these advances have involved the use of ultrasonic cleaning technologies utilizing multiple frequency ultrasonic generators and advanced waveform ultrasonic generators. These cutting edge ultrasonic cleaning technologies can remove sub-micron particles from medical implants and silicon wafers alike.

The cleaning industry is currently in a struggle to replace solvent degreasing with alternative "environmentally friendly" means of parts washing. Although substitute water-based, aqueous degreasers, citrus degreasers and petroleum based chemistries are available, they are often somewhat less effective as cleaners than the solvents and may not perform adequately in some applications unless a mechanical energy boost is added to assure the required levels of cleanliness. Ultrasonic energy is now used extensively in critical cleaning applications to both speed up and enhance the cleaning effect of the alternative chemistries.
