How to Clean Filters with Ultrasonic Energy

Operating an Ultrasonic Filter Cleaner System

Ultrasonic cleaners are available in numerous sizes based on the capacity of the cleaning solution tank, and can range from tabletop models to industrial-sized floor models. Regardless of size they are equipped with ultrasonic generators that excite tank-mounted transducers that create millions of microscopic bubbles in the cleaning solution. These implode on contact with the filters being cleaned to blast away contaminants from any surface wetted by the ultrasonic cleaning solution. Depending on models, ultrasonic filter cleaning equipment such as available have timers, temperature controllers, sweep and degas options. Rinse stations and drying stations are also available for assembly line filter cleaning.

Here’s a simplified series of operation steps for ultrasonic filter cleaning equipment. Modifications can be made based on specific filter cleaning requirements.

1. Add water to the fill line of the ultrasonic cleaning tank and prepare the ultrasonic cleaning solution clean A4 diluted to 2-5% with water. This is formulated for cleaning stainless and carbon steel, copper, brass and plastic.

2. Turn on the ultrasonic cleaner and degas function to both mix and degas the solution. Degassing removes air trapped in the water, which inhibits the cleaning operation. If the cleaner does not have a degas function allow it to run until bubbles stop coming to the surface.

3. Once degassing is complete you’re ready to clean the filters. Set the temperature to about 70°C for metal filters or about 50°C for plastics and the timer to 10 minutes. Experience will tell you the optimum temperature and how much time is required for your particular filter cleaning operations.

4. Place the filters in the cleaning basket so they do not contact each other, lower them into the ultrasonic cleaning solution, turn the unit on and activate the sweep function if so equipped. This evenly distributes the cavitation action throughout the solution for more uniform cleaning.

5. At the end of the cleaning cycle remove and inspect the filters. If they appear clean, rinse and dry. Depending on filter design you can either air blow dry or place them into a drying oven.

6. Apply a filter coating if required. The filters are now ready for reuse.

Transducers - 40 kHz

These specially bonded, durable transducers offer enhanced cleaning

performance. They are available in the form of transducerized tanks and separate immersibles which are fully sealed so they can be inserted into an existing tank to convert it into an ultrasonic cleaning system

Benefits of ultrasonics for filters:
Cleans delicate parts without damage
Cleans cracks and crevices that would be difficult to reach with the hand
Does not require line-of-sight for effective cleaning
Doesn’t use harsh chemical solvents that are dangerous for workers and the environment
Safe for aluminum, magnesium and zinc
Biodegradable cleaner
Clean multiple pieces at once without having to brush by hand – saves time and money

Application

Ultrasonic cleaning can be used for many applications, including plastic parts, bearing, bolts, rubber parts, internal parts, plastic injection molds, transmission parts, and final cleaning of all engine parts prior to assembly, the versatility of ultrasonic cleaning machine make them the perfect choice for automotive, medical, pharmaceutical, aerospace, engineering and many other industries

Ultrasonics can clean a wide range of filters including:

What is "Ultrasonics?"

Ultrasonics is the science of sound waves above the limits of human audibility. The frequency of a sound wave determines its tone or pitch. Low frequencies produce low or bass tones. High frequencies produce high or treble tones. Ultrasound is a sound with a pitch so high that it can not be heard by the human ear. Frequencies above 18 Kilohertz are usually considered to be ultrasonic. The frequencies used for ultrasonic cleaning range from 20,000 cycles per second or kilohertz (KHz) to over 100,000 KHz. The most commonly used frequencies for industrial cleaning are those between 20 KHz and 50KHz. Frequencies above 50KHz are more commonly used in small tabletop ultrasonic cleaners such as those found in jewelry stores and dental offices.

Ultrasonic Cleaning: Fundamental Theory and Application

The Theory of Sound Waves

In order to understand the mechanics of ultrasonics, it is necessary to first have a basic understanding of sound waves, how they are generated and how they travel through a conducting medium. The dictionary defines sound as the transmission of vibration through an elastic medium which may be a solid, liquid, or a gas.
