Ultra-Sonic cleaning equipment
Economic and effective cleaning is of great advantage for onboard applications. Martechnic®'s ultrasonic cleaning devices reduce manpower, work automatically, clean a wide range of materials and extend the shelf life of filter elements. The Ultra-Sonic Product Range divides in:- standard tanks
- tanks for larger components of customized size
- external transducers for existing cleaning tanks
- cleaning chemicals of highest efficiency
Heavily fouled engine parts constitute extensive cleaning tasks. Together with manpower resources becoming more and more limited, ships operation is faced with two severe problems: extensive cleaning with limited manpower. MARTECHNIC®'s Ultra-Sonic equipment offers a solution for both problems which is efficient and automated.
Working Principle: "Cavitation"
Piezoelectric Ultra-Sonic elements produce high-frequency sound waves which generate mechanical energy in the cleaning liquid, causing a "push-pull" effect on the surface of metallic cleaning objects. This "Cavitation"-Effect creates vacuum bubbles which implode on the surface of the cleaning object. While the object stays undamaged, fouling and deposits are removed thoroughly - even from hardly accessible spots.
Operation:
Regardless of using Ultra-Sonic Cleaning Tanks or submerging Ultra-Sonic Transducers into existing or customized tanks, a cleaning liquid has to be heated to operation temperature of 60-80°C. Cleaning objects have to be submersed and will get cleaned automatically, with virtually no attendance required. Cleaning time depends on degree of fouling, level of U-Sonic Power and the use of proper chemicals in the cleaning liquid.
