Ultrasonic parts cleaning and disinfection

With our DCM machines, you can achieve complete ultrasonic disinfection of the entire surface of the part. Our ultrasonic equipment guarantees a deep cleaning that also acts as a disinfection and treatment process for the part, compone
nts, or parts to be treated. Ultrasonic disinfection of parts has emerged as an innovative and extremely efficient solution compared to traditional methods, which often fail to remove contamination evenly or reach hard-to-reach areas.
 

What is ultrasonic disinfection?

Ultrasonic disinfection is based on the generation of high-frequency sound waves that create a physical phenomenon known as cavitation. This process forms millions of microbubbles in the liquid, which can be combined with mild disinfecting agents. When they collapse, these bubbles release enough energy to dislodge particles of dirt, grease, oxides, biofilms, chemical residues, and, most importantly, pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores.

Thanks to this physical principle, ultrasound not only cleans but also disinfects without damaging surfaces, even the most delicate or those with complex geometries.
 

What parts can be disinfected with ultrasonic?

Ultrasonic cleaning and disinfection is versatile and applicable to a wide variety of materials and shapes. Some common examples include:

1. Metal Parts
Screws, valves, nozzles, injectors, machined or automotive parts. Ultrasound removes traces of oil, swarf, rust, and microorganisms from stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, titanium, and other components.

2. Electronic Components
Motherboards, connectors, printed circuit boards (PCBs), sensors, and precision electronic parts. Ultrasound ensures the removal of dust, flux residue, and microorganisms without affecting functionality.

3. Medical and Dental Instruments
Drills, forceps, needle holders, surgical scissors, prosthetics, and implants. The process ensures homogeneous disinfection that reaches internal areas that neither brushes nor manual methods can reach.

4. Laboratory Tools
Test tubes, glassware, reaction vessels, Petri dishes. Cavitation helps maintain laboratory sterility and cleanliness standards.

5. Industrial Tools and Molds
Parts used in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and graphic arts manufacturing, among others. It quickly and safely removes production residues and microbiological contamination.

6. Plastic and Ceramic Components
Technical parts that require microorganism-free cleaning, such as housings, injection-molded parts, connectors, or decorative elements.

Microorganisms eliminated during the cleaning process

Ultrasonic cleaning technology can effectively eliminate:

• Common bacteria
• Viruses (including enveloped viruses such as SARS-CoV-2)
• Fungi and yeasts such as Candida
• Bacterial spores, which are particularly resistant in industrial environments
• Biofilms, highly resistant microbial formations that adhere to surfaces

This makes ultrasound an ideal solution for both cleaning and preventive or critical disinfection, depending on the sector.

At DCM Ultrasonic, we develop customized solutions for ultrasonic cleaning and disinfection of all types of parts. From benchtop machines for laboratories to high-capacity industrial equipment for production lines, we adapt the power, frequency, and bath configuration according to customer requirements.

Advantages of ultrasonic disinfection

1. Deep and even cleaning, even in cavities, grooves, or threads.
2. Reduction in the use of harsh chemicals.
3. Material protection, as the process does not damage surfaces.
4. Greater time efficiency, with short, automatable cycles.

Ultrasonic part disinfection is much more than a cleaning method; it is an advanced technological solution for industries that demand hygiene, precision, and efficiency. Its ability to eliminate both physical and microbiological contaminants, without damaging the parts or requiring harsh chemicals, positions it as a key tool for maintenance, quality, and safety in any technical or industrial environment.
