What is an ultrasonic cleaner?
From aerospace to health care, firearms to jewelers, professionals across industries are taking a shine to the ultrasonic cleaning system.
The formula is simple: This device cleans and decontaminates items (like a carburetor, dentures, clocks and more…) by using ultrasound in combination with an appropriate cleaning solvent (or water).
The result? Ultrasonic cleaners offer the complete and rapid removal of germs, dirt and other contaminants from your important items. Effortlessly.

How does an ultrasonic cleaner work? A deep dive.
Ultrasonic cleaners harness the power of cavitation to remove germs, particles, or whatever contaminant you are targeting from any surface that can safely be immersed in biodegradable cleaning solutions.
Ultrasonic cleaners effortlessly clean intricate and fragile instruments (like dental or surgical tools, labware, firearms or even clocks). They can dissolve, disperse and emulsify samples, as well as rapidly degas solvents.
What is cavitation?
Cavitation is the process where static pressure of a liquid is reduced to a point below the liquid’s vapor pressure, leading to the formation of small, vapor-filled cavities in the liquid. Ultrasonic cavitation is created in an ultrasonic cleaning tank, by ultrasonic generator-powered ultrasonic transducers attached to the bottom of the tank.
Ultrasonic cleaning relies on a spectrum of sound frequencies (inaudible to the human ear). Ultrasonic frequencies range from almost 20,000 to 100,000 cycles per second. And lower or higher frequencies had different effects (and can be used for special applications).
Here’s how they make your items and parts sparkle:
- Contaminated items are put into a cleaning tank of solvent (the cleaning fluid)
- The ultrasonic machine introduces a sound wave series into the specialized solvent using an immersible ultrasonic transducer, which agitates the solvents with sound waves with a high frequency.
- These transducers work to compress and expand the liquid, forming microscopic cavitation bubbles by squeezing tightly and then separating quickly. This process is called cavitation, a busting action that causes a partial vacuum, and provides extremely high exit velocities for each bubble.
- All of this action happens incredibly quickly, with surrounding liquid absorbing each bubble’s heat almost instantly.
- This gives you a precise, easy-to-use system for cleaning any parts or pieces safely, gently, and specifically targeted at the contaminants, germs, oils or other debris your particular industry produces.
As a result of this simple process, ultrasonic cleaning is particularly effective and efficient when cleaning a wide variety of components and goods. And here’s the most popular ultrasonic cleaner of 2021.
Elma ultrasonic cleaners are proven technology. With modern upgrades.
Ultrasonic science is nothing new. In fact, we’ve been applying this technology since World War I. Back then, transducers were weak, so the potential of ultrasonic cleaning wasn’t really on anyone’s radar.
In the 1960s, that began to change. Technological advances lead to developing better transducers, and ultimately, more efficient and powerful ultrasonic cleaners became available for wider use.
Fast forward to today. Modern technology has led to the invention of more reliable and effective ultrasonic machinery. As a result, the ultrasonic cleaning market has grown exponentially over the past decade, and an ultrasonic cleaning process is now being used across many industries.
How long does ultrasonic cleaning take?
The ultrasonic cleaning process can remove dust, chemicals, dirt, oil, baked on grease, pigmentation, fingerprints, and other lab contaminants. But how quickly they get the job done depends on:
- Your equipment
- How dirty or contaminated the object you’re cleaning is
Some items might be clean within a few seconds! Others might take a bit more time. The average length of time to completely remove contaminants is between 2 to 10 minutes.
Some machines have lower cycle times, and others have longer ones, which work well if you need a machine that requires minimal supervision.
