What are the limitations of ultrasonic cleaning?

Like any technological method, ultrasonic cleaning has certain limitations:

  1. Material Incompatibility:
    • Some materials, such as soft plastics or colored metals, may be sensitive to ultrasound and could be damaged.
  2. Choice of Solution:
    • Inappropriate detergents may reduce efficiency or even damage items. It is important to use detergents specifically formulated for the type of contamination and material being cleaned.
  3. Adjustment:
    • Each application requires adjustment of the ultrasonic cleaning time and temperature, which may require additional testing and optimization.
  4. Equipment Costs:
    • In the short term, the investment in ultrasonic equipment may be high, especially for industrial systems, but it quickly pays off through savings and optimization of technological processes.
