What Is a Sonotrode?
A sonotrode is a machine that utilizes ultrasonic waves for cleaning and processing objects.
The ultrasonic generator transmits ultrasonic waves to the cleaning solution through a transducer, employing a mechanism that dislodges dirt and deposits from the surface of objects. Consisting of a transducer, cleaning tank, and heating device, it uses ultrasonic vibrations to agitate the cleaning solution, effectively removing dirt from the surface of objects. It is primarily utilized in the processing of food and the manufacturing of industrial products.
In food processing, it is used for cleaning and sterilizing items such as meat, fish, and vegetables, while in industrial product manufacturing, it plays a role in cleaning and processing metal and plastic components. In the medical field, it finds applications in cleaning and disinfecting medical devices. Its features include high cleaning efficiency, short cleaning times, and environmentally friendly operation.
During use, attention should be given to the selection of the cleaning solution, setting the cleaning time, and ensuring safety through the vibrations generated by ultrasonic waves.
