When ultrasonic energy is introduced into a cleaning solution, cavitation, the foundation of ultrasonic cleaning occurs.
Ultrasonic energy causes alternation patterns of low and high-pressure phases.
During the low-pressure phases, minute bubbles, or vacuum cavities form. During the subsequent high-pressure phases, the bubbles implode violently. This is called cavitation. Cavitation provides an intense scrubbing action that leads to unsurpassed cleaning speed and consistency when compared with simple soaking or immersion with agitation. Additionally, the bubbles are small enough to penetrate even microscopic crevices, cleaning them thoroughly and consistently.
