Ultrasonic Cleaner Degas

Our system features a fast degas feature at the start of the ultrasonic.

Ultrasonic cleaner degas.

The time needed to degas the bath depends on the quantity and hardness of the bath. If an ultrasonic cleaner does not have a degas feature each time the tank is filled with fresh solution the degassing effect can add 30 minutes or more to the cleaning cycle. Fast degas ultrasonic cleaning system although 5 10 minutes is much shorter than hours it s still too long to wait for our parts cleaner machines to degas each time the solution is pumped from the storage tank to the process tank of the ultrasonic cleaning system. To degas the solution we simply turn the ultrasonic cleaning system on with the new cleaner in the tank without any parts and run it through a complete cleaning cycle.

How does degas mode work. To degas the cleaning bath run the cleaner and increase the temperature before putting the items in the tank. If you have a digital ultrasonic cleaner you most likely have a special degas mode included. Essentially it is a pulse mode of ultrasonic cleaning.

You ll get your degassing done more quickly. In general the time needed to completely degas the bath is between 10 and 30 minutes. Adding a little heat where possible will speed up the process and remove the gasses more thoroughly and completely. If so take advantage of it.

This simple procedure allows the ultrasonic cleaner to work most effectively since the ultrasonic waves can pass more freely through liquid than they do when air is mixed in the liquid in the tank. When a shop or lab uses a set cleaning cycle time for a specific application it is imperative to degas the fresh solution before the cleaning process begins or the cycle.
