28kHz vs 40kHz vs 80kHz vs 120kHz Ultrasonic Cleaning

28kHz vs 40kHz vs 80kHz vs 120kHz Ultrasonic Cleaning

BIMOSONIC offers single-, dual-, and tri-frequency ultrasonic cleaner configurations for different cleaning requirements. Availability depends on the selected model.

Verified Frequency Configurations

  • Single-frequency: 40kHz
  • Dual-frequency: 28/40kHz, 40/80kHz, 40/120kHz, or 80/120kHz
  • Tri-frequency: 28/40/80kHz, 40/80/120kHz, or 28/40/120kHz

How Frequency Affects Cleaning

Lower frequencies generally produce a stronger cavitation action for robust parts and heavier contamination. Higher frequencies generally produce finer cavitation for detailed or more sensitive surfaces. The correct choice also depends on power, solution, temperature, loading, cycle time, material, and surface finish.

Choosing a Configuration

Choose 40kHz single-frequency for consistent general-purpose workflows. Choose a dual-frequency model when two cleaning actions are required. Choose a tri-frequency model when one tank must support a broader range of compatible parts and process settings.

Documented Performance

The corresponding test report records a 30% improvement in cleaning efficiency under its specified test conditions. Actual results vary by application.

Important Operating Notes

These models do not support 24-hour continuous operation. Follow the operating and cooling intervals in the model manual. For compatible instruments, the intended medical-related application is pre-sterilization cleaning only; ultrasonic cleaning does not replace a validated sterilization process.
