Clean fragile filters with these ultrasonic systems

| By Chemical Engineering

TovatechThis line of ultrasonic cleaning systems for filters range from tabletop to industrial-size floor models, each of which can provide a quick, thorough cleaning to filters. Ultrasonic filter cleaning is an economical alternative to cleaning with high-pressure water sprays or brushes, especially for metal and plastic filters that are very susceptible to damage. Cleaners are equipped with ultrasonic generators operating at frequencies that excite tank-mounted transducers to create millions of microscopic bubbles in the cleaning solution. Bubbles implode on contact with the filter to remove contaminants from any surface immersed in the ultrasonic cleaning solution. Depending on the model, the cleaning system may include timers, temperature controllers and sweep and degas options. Rinse stations and drying stations are also available. — Tovatech, LLC, Maplewood, N.J.
