About Southern Ultrasonics

Ultrasonics have long been known to produce energy that can penetrate the hardest of surfaces. In ultrasonic cleaning modern technology has enabled these forces to be utilised in developing a highly effective alternative to solvent based cleaning systems.

Ultrasonic cleaning is applied to components immersed in a liquid (aqueous) medium through which high frequency sound waves are passed. These sound waves produce microscopic bubbles which collapse under pressure and agitation. The collapsing of these bubbles produces tiny shockwaves that have a scrubbing action on the surface of the material being cleaned. These forces are capable of penetrating even the hardest of surfaces removing debris and deposits such as baked-on carbon.
Ultrasonic cleaning is not just limited to engine parts, many of our customers also rely on ultrasonic cleaning to prepare surfaces prior to electro-plating, welding and other similar processes.
