Finding the Right Ultrasonic Cleaner Solution for Every Application

Ultrasonic cleaning has become a trusted solution across industries, known for its ability to deliver fast, effective, and non-destructive results. Whether you’re cleaning jewelry at home, degreasing engine parts in a workshop, or sterilizing surgical instruments in a hospital, selecting the right ultrasonic cleaner, solution, and settings is key to maximizing performance.
1. Home Use: A Daily Cleaning Essential
In domestic settings, ultrasonic cleaners are perfect for small items like jewelry, glasses, watchbands, coins, retainers, and metal accessories. These objects often have fine details or crevices that are difficult to clean manually.
Recommended Settings
- Frequency: 40kHz (standard for general use)
- Cleaning Fluid: Neutral or mild home-use solutions
- Temperature: Around 40°C
- Time: 3–5 minutes
- Machine Type: Small tabletop or portable units
Tips
- Avoid cleaning delicate materials like natural pearls or wood
- Drain and wipe the tank after each use
- Let the machine rest after 30 minutes of continuous operation



2. Industrial Use: The Answer to Heavy-Duty Cleaning
In industrial workshops, ultrasonic cleaning tackles large, heavily contaminated metal parts like bearings, fuel injectors, cylinder heads, and plastic molds. These items often suffer from thick grease, carbon buildup, and blind holes that trap residues.

Ultrasonic cleaning machine in industrial use
Recommended Settings
-
Frequency: 28kHz (ideal for heavy contamination)
-
Cleaning Fluid: Strong degreasers or carbon removers formulated for metals
-
Temperature: 60°C–70°C
-
Time: 10–20 minutes
-
Machine Type: High-power industrial systems with heating and filtration
Tips
-
Use protective gear (gloves, goggles)
-
Avoid strong alkaline solutions for aluminum alloys
-
Install filtration systems to extend solution lifespan
3. Medical Use: Safe and Sterile Cleaning
In medical environments, ultrasonic cleaning is used for surgical tools, dental instruments, and microsurgical equipment. These items must be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized while preserving material integrity.

Dental instruments
Recommended Settings
-
Frequency: 40–80kHz (gentle yet thorough)
-
Cleaning Fluid: Enzyme-based solutions (protease, lipase) or medical-grade neutral fluids
-
Temperature: 37°C–45°C
-
Time: 5–15 minutes
-
Machine Type: Medical-grade systems with temperature/frequency control and sterilization features
Tips
-
Pre-rinse tools to remove bulk residue
-
Always use fresh solution per cycle
-
For dental implants and fine tools, use 80kHz+ for optimal penetration
4. Laboratory, Biopharma, and Electronics: Precision Cleaning at Its Finest
These sectors require absolute cleanliness and zero residue. The parts involved—like lab glassware, injection molds, circuit boards, and chip assemblies—are sensitive to contamination and chemical traces.
Lab Equipment Cleaning
-
Frequency: 40–50kHz
-
Cleaning Fluid: Neutral or deionized fluid-based solutions
-
Temperature: 45°C–55°C
-
Time: 5–10 minutes
-
Tips: Use baskets to protect glass; rinse thoroughly with DI water
Biopharma Tools
-
Frequency: 40/80kHz dual-mode
-
Cleaning Fluid: Enzyme cleaners, phosphate-free neutral solutions
-
Machine Type: Cleanroom-compatible systems with HEPA filtration
-
Tips: Clean in sterile environments; validate cleanliness before use
Electronics Manufacturing
-
Frequency: 60–120kHz (high-frequency precision)
-
Cleaning Fluid: Low-conductivity or isopropanol-based fluids
-
Temperature: 30°C–40°C
-
Tips: Use ESD-safe machines; dry with nitrogen or vacuum systems
