HOW IT WORKS
The Generator is the power source where the ultrasonic wave is made and this high
frequency electrical energy signal is passed on to the transducer converting the
mechanical energy and imparting into the liquid in the cleaning tank.
The conversion from electrical energy to mechanical energy in the cleaning medium
(liquid) includes cavitation, which is the real work force in the liquid.
In cavitation the varying pressures of a sound wave rapidly collapses and expands in
the tank liquid to scrub off the contaminants.

This shows a comparison table drawn up originally in the USA some years ago.
It depicts how effective ultrasonic cleaning can be compared to other more commonly
known cleaning systems.
