Elevate cleaning efficiency with ultrasonic cleaning
Protecting vessel integrity and performance
Ships consist of complex machinery and components that can be challenging to clean using traditional methods, which often rely on harsh chemicals that can pose environmental risks. By removing contaminants that can compromise equipment functionality and structural integrity, effective maintenance can foster a culture of safety and mitigate potential problems.
Leveraging on technology, ultrasonic cleaners play a vital role in enabling effective maintenance by offering high quality cleaning and saving time. With even power distribution and amplification for efficient and powerful cleaning results that reduces the risk of surface abrasion or damage, it is suitable for cleaning delicate components and precision instruments.
Key Benefits
Efficient Contaminant Removal
Thorough removal of debris such as rust, scale, bio-fouling, and oil residues from critical vessel components, reducing the risk of corrosion, fouling, and equipment malfunction
Precision Cleaning
Reaching and cleaning even the most inaccessible areas, including narrow channels, crevices, and intricate geometries ensuring no contaminants are left behind
Elevate cleaning efficiency with ultrasound and cavitation technology
Ultrasonic cleaning operates based on the phenomenon of cavitation. It involves the generation of highfrequency sound waves, which are transmitted into the cleaning liquid as mechanical energy by a set of transducers positioned on the external of the tank.
Ultrasonic cleaning principle
Ultrasonic vibration producing high speed bubbles
Reduced Maintenance Downtime
With streamlined cleaning processes and reducing the need for manual labor-intensive methods, ultrasonic cleaners help optimize operational schedules and minimize disruptions to maritime operations
These bubbles implode on the surface of the filter
The implosion disintegrates the debris leaving the filters cleaned
Enhanced Safety
Ultrasonic cleaning minimizing the need for manual cleaning, reducing crew exposure to harmful substances and mitigating the potential for accidents or injuries onboard
The ultrasound process induces the formation of numerous minuscule vacuum bubbles within the cleaning solution, subsequently leading to their implosion resulting in an exceptionally potent cleaning force.
Low Chemical Consumption
Ultrasonic cleaners typically require less chemical agents, reducing chemical usage and waste generation relative to traditional cleaning methods
The energy released during the implosion of these tiny bubbles onto the surface of the cleaned parts results in an exceptionally potent cleaning force.
Given that the temperature of the cleaning solution significantly influences the cavitational effect of ultrasonic energy, ultrasonic cleaners come equipped with integrated electrical heating elements accompanied by thermostatic controls. This setup ensures the attainment of an optimal combination of cleaning solution, temperature, and ultrasonic power.
Unleash the full potential of your vessel with ultrasonic cleaning
Ultrasonic cleaners leverage the principles of the Sinner's Circle to achieve comprehensive cleaning of surfaces and components. It comprises four key factors: mechanical action, time, temperature, and chemical action.
By combining mechanical action, time, temperature, and chemical action in a controlled and efficient manner, ultrasonic cleaners contribute to the maintenance of ship cleanliness and performance.
Sweep-function for optimum sound field distribution and cleaning performance in the entire ultrasonic bath.
Switchable pulse-function increases the peak ultrasonic performance output. This uprating makes it possible to remove even the most stubborn contaminants.
