ULTRASONIC CLEANING INDICATORS

A PACKAGE OF UNIQUE PRODUCTS FOR RELIABLE MONITORING OF ULTRASONIC CLEANING

JP Labs has developed a package of ultrasonic cleaning indicating devices, trade named SonoIndi™, essential for reliable monitoring of ultrasonic cleaning (USC) which includes: (i) human and machine (barcode) readable color developing and emulsion forming liquid-vials, (ii) multi-vial confinement devices, (iii) carousel-devices for determination of over-all efficacy of USC-baths and (iv) film-mapping devices for locating the transducers and determining their efficacy.

Ultrasonic cleaning indicators (USCI) are used in hospitals, dental offices, machine shops, jewelers, optometry, avionics, engineering, automotive, printing presses and many other industries.

Even after decades of cleaning by ultrasonication, there is no device available for reliable monitoring of ultrasonic cleaning.

The USC-industry needs one or more SonoIndi™ devices for reproducible and reliable monitoring of ultrasonic cleaning.

The global annual market for USCI could be in hundred of millions of dollars.

LIQUID-VIAL COLOR DEVELOPING SONOINDI™

We have developed superior and economical liquid-vial USCI which (i) change from color-A to color-B, e.g., from colorless-to-green/black upon and (ii) emulsion forming liquid-vial USCI which change from clear to opaque white upon ultrasonication. The time for the color change can be varied from 1 to 30 minutes. Liquid-vial SonoIndi™ are barcode readable. They have one year of shelf-life at room temperature). No toxic materials are used in the liquid-vial SonoIndi™.

CAROUSEL DEVICE

The rate of color development of liquid-vial USCIs depends on many factors but especially on the location of their placement in USC-baths. If placed on a transducer, they develop color very rapidly. If placed between or away from the transducers, they develop color very slowly. We have developed a carousel device which gives reliable and reproducible results showing the average efficacy of USC-baths and eliminates all errors due to placement of the liquid-vials.

The carousel device eliminates the need for the use of many liquid-vial USCI and determines the overall performance/cavitation/cleaning capability of the USC-baths.

MAPPING DEVICE

The volume of USC-baths varies from a few liters to more than 1,000 liters. In order to test the performance of an ultrasonic bath, SonoCheck™ recommends to use one vial per about 2-3 liters of water.

There is no device for reliable monitoring, e.g., mapping of performance, of transducers of USC-baths.

We have developed a film device which can map the entire USC-bath, e.g., monitor locations and efficacy of each transducer.
