Advanced Ultrasonic Cleaning Technology

How Ultrasonic Cleaning Works

Our ultrasonic cleaning process utilises high-frequency sound waves transmitted through specialised cleaning solutions. Electrical currents pass between transducers built into the ultrasonic bath base, creating sound energy that agitates the liquid and produces microscopic bubbles in constant motion. This process, known as cavitation, creates a scrubbing action that reaches every surface area without physical contact or abrasion.
