Frequency
Frequency in ultrasonic cleaners is crucial, as it directly affects the size and number of cavitation bubbles formed in the process.
Lower Frequency (20-40 kHz)
Larger, cavitation bubbles. Bubbles collapse with more force. Best for heavy contaminants like oil, grease, rust, etc. Too aggressive for delicate items.
Higher Frequency (60-100 kHz and above)
Smaller and more numerous cavitation bubbles. Bubbles collapse gently, less energy per bubble. Best delicate or intricate items with tiny crevices or blind holes, as smaller bubbles penetrate more effectively.
