The Background.
Liquids can carry sound. Ultrasound emitted and transmitted through water modifies the liquid and generates pairs of H (hydrogen) and HO (hydrogen-oxygen). This process is called cavitation. Cavitation produced via ultrasound converts the liquid into an extraordinary energy carrier. The energy consists of powerful minibursts
(40,000 bursts per second) delivered ONLY and exclusively to the ink residues and other residues adhering to the cartridge(s) to be cleaned. The technology involved in the use of ultrasound in this type of application is called Sono-chemistry. Sound is considered 'ultra' once it exceeds the range of audibility, usually around 15 KHz/second for man.
Ultrasonic Ink-Jet Cleaning.
The key to cleaning inkjet cartridges and/or printheads with ultrasound technology is to generate the appropriate burst strength with the requisite ultrasonic frequency. The objective is to target and dissolve just the material that must be cleared away. With jet cartridges the targeted material is dried ink, typically residual ink left inside the cartridge reservoirs or that has stuck to the printhead electrodes or anywhere on the body of the cartridge.
Operation
Operation of the Ultrasonic Cleaner is extremely simple. Fill the machine's bowl to with distilled water and drop the cartridges into the liquid. Cleaning time depends on the thickness and age of the ink residue to be eliminated. It can vary from one minute to, say, 30 minutes, depending on the age and amount of the dried ink residues.
This ultrasonic cleaner is an indispensable tool for the any inkjet recharge company and for large volume cartridge users who recharge their own cartridges, i.e. Schools, Colleges and other Government Institutions.
