Details
A dual frequency tabletop ultrasonic cleaner is a compact ultrasonic cleaning unit designed for use on a workbench or tabletop, which has the capability to operate at two distinct ultrasonic frequencies.
The frequency of the ultrasonic waves directly impacts the size of the cavitation bubbles and the intensity of their implosion:
- Lower Frequencies (e.g., 20-40 kHz):
- Produce larger cavitation bubbles.
- Result in a more aggressive cleaning action.
- Are more effective at removing larger, heavier, or stubborn contaminants like carbon deposits, heavy oils, and grease.
- Best suited for robust parts that can withstand the more intense scrubbing, such as machined metal parts, castings, and automotive components.
- Higher Frequencies (e.g., 60-130 kHz and above):
- Produce smaller cavitation bubbles.
- Result in a more gentle, yet more penetrating cleaning action.
- Are ideal for removing fine particulate matter, delicate contaminants, and for cleaning intricate geometries, small holes, or highly polished surfaces.
- Best suited for delicate items like jewelry, optical lenses, electronic components, and precision medical instruments, where a coarser clean could cause damage.
Common combinations like:
- 25 kHz / 45 kHz: A common pairing, offering a good balance between aggressive cleaning for robust items and a more general-purpose clean for a variety of parts.
- 40 kHz / 80 kHz: More focused on precision cleaning, with the 40 kHz still providing good general cleaning and the 80 kHz excelling in very fine applications.
- Increased Versatility: Cleans a broader range of items, from heavily soiled robust parts to delicate, intricate components.
- Optimized Cleaning Performance: Allows selection of the ideal frequency for specific contaminants and part sensitivities.
- Cost-Effective: Eliminates the need for multiple single-frequency machines for different cleaning needs, saving on equipment costs and space.
- Improved Efficiency: Can achieve better cleaning results in less time by using the most effective frequency for the job.
- Reduced Risk of Damage: Prevents damage to delicate items that might occur with a continuous, overly aggressive low-frequency clean.
