Ultrasonic cleaner

Ultrasonic cleaners were once used exclusively in laboratories, medical facilities, and workshops for cleaning large and small instruments and components. However, for several years now, we've also been able to use ultrasound in our private homes for cleaning glasses, coins, and jewelry. Even nail salons are now indispensable without an ultrasonic cleaner. Ultrasonic cleaners are available starting at 0.5 liters. Their high performance and small size make them ideal for deep cleaning of nail tools.

What is ultrasonic cleaning?

Ultrasonic cleaning is one of the simplest and most thorough ways to clean delicate tools and grooved surfaces. The soiled objects are placed in a water bath and cleaned using ultrasonic waves. In an ultrasonic cleaner, instruments can be prepared for their next use very gently and quickly. With an ultrasonic cleaning device, you can effectively remove stubborn dirt, even in hard-to-reach places where direct contact with a brush is otherwise difficult.

How does ultrasonic cleaning work?

Ultrasonic cleaning works on the principle of cavitation. The ultrasonic waves create tiny vacuum bubbles that attach to dirt and are immediately destroyed. Each implosion creates a small water stream that amplifies its effect a thousandfold. This allows even the most stubborn dirt particles to fall off effortlessly in the ultrasonic cleaner.

For effective cleaning, it's important that the objects are completely covered with water. It's best to gently rotate them back and forth until every last air bubble has risen. Ultrasound can only clean where water can reach. For thorough cleaning, regular tap water is usually sufficient. For particularly heavily soiled objects or special cleaning items such as dentures, additional cleaning concentrates are added to the fluid in the ultrasonic cleaner.

Ultrasonic cleaning is so simple that you do not need any prior knowledge ortrainingIt's important to note that flammable liquids such as gasoline must not be used in the ultrasonic cleaner. The water can be easily disposed of in the sink after use if only a mild cleaning agent was used. Their small size and lightweight design make ultrasonic cleaners perfect for use at home or in a nail salon.

Ultrasonic nail cleaning: process and effect

Ultrasonic cleaning is an integral part of the daily routine in the nail studio: instruments and accessories for nail modelling andnail designmust always be kept clean to ensure a hygienic working environment. After each use, the tools should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with an ultrasonic cleaner in the nail salon.

An ultrasonic cleaner is particularly suitable forMilling cutter attachments,Nail scissors and tweezersIt removes filing dust and cuticle residue, even in hard-to-reach places. After a brief pre-cleaning with a nail brush, place the items in a basket and hang it in the ultrasonic cleaner. It's best to use a basket for every application. If the items to be cleaned are placed directly on the floor of the tank, small cracks and holes can easily form in the cleaner. Cleaning and disinfection can be performed in a single step using the appropriate concentrate.

Decide for yourself whether you have enoughWork utensilsand bits in stock, or whether you use the ultrasonic cleaner immediately after each appointment. If you have more than one employee, we definitely recommend keeping written documentation of the required cleaning routine so that you can provide customers with proof of the nail salon's hygiene standards if needed.

How is an ultrasonic cleaner constructed?

An ultrasonic cleaner consists of a metal or plastic housing and a stainless steel tank for the water. This is closed with the included lid to reduce noise during the cleaning process and to retain heat. Some ultrasonic cleaners have a transparent lid so you can observe the cleaning process from the outside.

Inside, the ultrasonic generator generates the ultrasonic frequency. Ceramic plates, called piezo elements, are set in motion by electromagnetic pulses, generating the high-frequency sound waves. The waves are transmitted through the water to the surface of the object, creating microscopic bubbles. There, they suddenly collapse, and the resulting water stream removes the dirt.
