Do It the Safe Way

Have you ever read the back of a silver tarnish removal cleaner? You need a biology degree to make sense of it. The ingredients list is bad enough, but my favorite part is when they tell you how to dispose of the waste. Oh, and be sure to wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when applying to avoid harming yourself.

Rather than putting yourself at risk and wasting all of that time, an ultrasonic cleaner is a safer and far more effective way to remove tarnish from your silver. Best of all, these amazing machines can be used for a host of other cleaning duties as well. This is literally a life-changing piece of machinery for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, and general cleaning that is often very time-consuming.

Cleaning Tarnished Silver

If I told you we could bring all your silver back to life in the time it takes you to clean just a few of your pieces by hand, would that interest you?

When you clean your silver with an ultrasonic cleaner, all of your silver can go into the tank with a cleaning solution specifically designed for this purpose. Our cleaning agents are water-based, which means no harmful chemicals that you have to worry about coming into contact with your skin or hurting the environment.

Once the machine is loaded and started, the ultrasonic waves create countless tiny bubbles that cover the entire surface of the sliver, imploding and putting the cleaning agents to work. When this implosion occurs, the tarnish and other contaminants on the silver are removed and washed away.

Now, if you have ever cleaned fine silver by hand, you know how difficult it can be to get the intricate designs cleaned. That is not a problem for these imploding bubbles, as they get into every crack and crevice of the item inside the tank. Once the cycle has been completed, you will have silver that looks as good as the day you bought it home from the store.

I know what you are thinking right now… this sounds like a massive machine that will break the bank. That is hardly the case. We have a wide variety of models, from a freestanding tank that is used in industry to table-top units that hobbyists can use in their homes. If we do not have a tank to specifically suit your needs, we can custom-build one.

If this sounds like something you would like to learn more about, call us at 888-989-5560 today.

In addition to the contamination factors, there is also the impact that dirty equipment can have on the taste of a final product. The first thing that comes to mind here is coffee, where improperly descaling machines can lead to several issues. Coffee can and will taste bitter if the machine is not descaled properly. You may also find that the machine itself begins to produce a nasty, acrid smell. This, of course, can also lead to problems with the machine itself.

Benefits of Ultrasonic Cleaners in the Food Industry

Anyone that has worked in any aspect of the food and beverage industry, from a rancher to a coffee barista, knows that food and dirt can get into the smallest of crevices. This is not the end of the world when you are a construction worker. However, it can lead to massive problems in the food industry, which can ultimately force a business to close.

For that very reason, ultrasonic cleaning solutions are the best, safest, and most cost-effective solutions for the food industry.

Let’s go back to our example using coffee machines and urns.

In the hotel and restaurant industry, even a small urn can cost four figures. While a restaurant may only have a few of these urns, a major hotel operation will have dozens of them. High-volume coffee makers are an even larger investment, with 10-gallon brewers running upwards of $4,000 for common brewers. For restaurants, shops, and hotels that also have espresso machines, well, now you are talking about an investment in the $7,000 to $10,000 range for a quality machine.

When you invest that kind of money, you want to put out an incredible tasting product, which you cannot do if your equipment is not cleaned properly. Improper descaling, as mentioned above, can create a bitter taste and eventually cause the machine itself to break. The same can be said for espresso machines, with the added problem of keeping the frother properly cleaned.

The nature of ultrasonic cleaners is ideal for this application. Descaling a coffee boiler can sometimes take days, a process that is reduced to just hours when using ultrasonic cleaning machines. All those small parts where germs and residue can hide… well, they are immaculately cleaned thanks to the imploding bubbles created by the sound waves in the ultrasonic cleaning process.

Now, we only used coffee makers as an example, but imagine how beneficial this same cleaning process would be for sausage makers, butchering equipment, breweries, meatpacking plants, restaurant cooking equipment, etc.

If you are ready to take your cleaning to an elite level, there is only one solution… Omegasonics ultrasonic cleaning equipment. Whether you have a major operation or are a mom-and-pop butcher, whether you are a district manager for a major chain or own a single restaurant, we have both standard and/or custom cleaning solutions for your business.

So How Is Your Waste Regulated?

Once you are done with your cleaning chemicals, you need to determine what kind of waste it is and how it needs to be handled. Long gone are the days of just dumping cleaning chemicals down the sink and hoping for the best.

The EPA has special classifications for different cleaning chemicals and that defines how they must be handled. If you are choosing to recycle your chemicals instead of disposing of them, you still must be aware of what the waste is and how it is regulated before the recycling process can begin.

Choosing a Recycler

Now that your waste has been identified, you can move on to choosing someone to help you recycle it. This can be a time-consuming process as you need to find a recycler who is not only handling your cleaning products but also is reputable.

While you, as the provider, can audit your recycler, it may be some time before you realize that your recycled products are not being dealt with properly. Your attempt at reducing waste might need to start somewhere else.

Reduce the Chemicals

Instead of finding better and greener ways of dealing with the cleaners that you use, what about reducing the amount of chemicals that you use? Alternative chemicals might be a good way to do it, but what about alternative processes that involve little or no chemicals at all?

Ultrasonic Cleaning Is the Green Alternative

Ultrasonic cleaners are a safer, more environmentally friendly way to handle all of your cleaning needs. Instead of using harsh chemicals to get your parts cleaned, you can use an ultrasonic cleaning system instead.

How does it work? Instead of using the cleaner to break down the bonds of the dirt, ultrasonic cleaners use a process called cavitation. You place the parts inside a cleaning bath and sound waves are generated by the cleaner. Microscopic bubbles form and then collide with the surface of the part releasing energy. That energy breaks free and breaks down any of the dirt, grime, oil or other contaminates that are on the surface of your parts.

Not only can the surface be cleaned, but small inlets, holes and even the insides of these parts come clean. Anywhere the solution can go, cavitation can happen.
