Cleaning tools with ultrasound – for long-lasting quality
Well-maintained tools are the foundation for clean work – whether in the home workshop, in the trade, or in industry. Pliers, screwdrivers, socket wrenches, and other tools are in daily use and, over time, become clogged with oil, grease, and dirt . If they are not cleaned regularly, they risk corrosion, loss of function, or even total failure. The solution: ultrasonic cleaning . This method thoroughly and gently removes all residues from your tools, significantly extending their service life.
Why tools should be cleaned regularly
-
Corrosion protection: Removes dirt and moisture that promote rust formation.
-
Functional retention: Clean tools work more precisely and easily.
-
Preservation of value: Regular cleaning extends the service life.
-
Hygiene: Germ-free tools are mandatory, especially in the food industry or in medicine.
Advantages of ultrasonic cleaning for tools
Conventional scrubbing with wire brushes or solvents often only cleans superficially. Ultrasound, on the other hand, penetrates into the smallest cracks and joints – without removing material.
-
Thorough: Removes oil, grease and dirt even in inaccessible places.
-
Gentle: No scratches or wear like with mechanical cleaning.
-
Efficient: Saves time and effort – clean multiple parts at once.
-
Versatile: Suitable for hand tools, precision mechanics or even sensitive precision instruments.
Suitable cleaning agents
To ensure that your tools remain not only clean but also protected from corrosion, you should make sure you use the right cleaning agent:
-
EM-100 deoxidizing concentrate: ideal against rust and stubborn deposits.
-
Tickopur J 80: reliably removes oil and grease residues, especially from metal tools.
-
EM-080 Universal Concentrate: for lighter everyday soiling.
Step-by-step instructions: Cleaning tools in an ultrasonic bath
-
Preparation: Remove coarse dirt such as chips or dust with a cloth.
-
Fill the tank: Fill the ultrasonic device with water and a suitable cleaning concentrate (e.g. EM-100 or Tickopur J 80).
-
Cleaning: Place tools in the basket, making sure that the parts do not touch each other.
-
Start ultrasound: Cleaning time 5–15 minutes, depending on the degree of soiling.
-
Rinse: Rinse the tool with clean water after cleaning.
-
Drying: Dry thoroughly or allow to air dry.
-
Care: Grease joints and moving parts with a little oil to maintain full function.
Conclusion
Ultrasonic cleaning of tools is the most effective method for thoroughly removing oil, grease, and dirt. With the right concentrates, such as EM-100 or Tickopur J 80, you not only clean deep into the pores but also prevent corrosion. The result: clean, functional, and durable tools that will always be a reliable companion in your workshop or factory.
