TIPS AND GUIDELINES FOR EFFECTIVE CLEANING
1) Choose a workbasket with the largest openings possible without allowing the parts to fall through.
2) For extremely small parts, a solid bottom basket with weep holes is preferred.
3) If the parts tend to “nest” or stick together, gentle agitation or tumbling will insure that the cleaning fluid reaches all the
surfaces.
4) Hollow or concave parts should be positioned so that they fill and drain completely during the cleaning cycle.
Remember that the ultrasonics can only reach where the cleaning fluid reaches.
5) Choose a detergent or cleaning fluid that is effective against contamination on the parts without damaging the parts or part
surfaces.
Always test a cleaning fluid with a sample part before cleaning a large workload.
6) Use the mildest cleaning fluid that will be effective in your application. Start with the weakest dilution ratio recommended by
the detergent manufacturer and gradually add more concentrate until satisfactory cleaning is obtained.
7) Gentle heating usually improves the cleaning performance. The optimum cleaning range is between 120
°F and 140°F. Higher
temperatures may be required in some applications.
