How long do I need to clean my components for?
Cleaning time varies depending on the performance of your ultrasonic bath and the level of contamination present. Different conditions (temperature, ultrasonic power, detergent and detergent dose) will all have an effect on the length of time required to clean a component.
How much can I load into my ultrasonic cleaner?
The more instruments placed into an ultrasonic bath, the less effective the cleaning cycle is going to be. It is not advisable to place instruments in the basket so that they overlap as a more effective clean will be generated if all surface areas are openly exposed to the cleaning solution. However, filling a basket so that there is clear space between instruments should lead to an effective cleaning cycle.
Should the lid be on my ultrasonic cleaner when in operation?
The lid should be kept on the ultrasonic cleaner while in operation.
The lid is for the protection of the operator and in medical applications the patients also. It prevents aerosols generated during the cavitation process from dispersing and contaminating the reprocessing environment. In addition, the lid reduces the noise levels created during the ultrasonic cycle and helps to maintain the heat of the cleaning fluid in the tank.
What temperature is best for ultrasonic cleaning?
This will vary depending on the application but in general higher temperatures lead to better cleaning results.
For industrial cleaning higher temperatures will aid the cleaning process up to around 70°C. Tests have shown that the most effective cleaning occurs between 55 and 65°C.
Medical instrument decontamination should not be carried out above 40 degrees C as this can cause proteins and bioburden to coagulate and bake onto the item.
Can I use water alone in my ultrasonic bath?
Ultrasonic cleaning produces significantly better results when a detergent is used. We do not advise that water alone is used within the bath.
The correct detergent aids in the breakdown of decontamination while also reducing the surface tension of the bath and increasing ultrasonic activity.
How should I clean large, dense metal objects in my ultrasonic bath?
When cleaning large, dense objects it is important that if at all possible they are submerged in the ultrasonic tank at an oblique angle. This allows the energy developed to rebound around the ultrasonic tank maximising the full potential of the cleaner. This is particularly important if the ultrasonic tank has only one radiating face, i.e. the base of the tank.
Why does my ultrasonic bath continue to heat beyond the set temperature?
The ultrasonic activity within the tank will increase the temperature by about 10-15°C over an hour period even if the heaters are not in operation. The cavitation creates energy which in turn creates heat.
The machine will turn the heaters off once the temperature is reached but obviously there is no way to cool down the water in the tank and there is no upper temperature cut out. once the temperature is reached, the following 1 hour operation would see an increase in temperature.
