Attention is given to an overview of the technique that is used for preliminary cleaning of instruments from various kinds of contamination before they are thoroughly sterilized and disinfected. The main feature of the equipment is the safe processing of any material: glass, plastic, metal. According to buyers, the best inexpensive models in their field are Chinese-made ultrasonic sterilizers, professional level of installation - natives of domestic and other foreign companies.
Content
The sink, operating with the help of ultrasound, is a stainless steel container (inside), the walls of which are equipped with special transducers / emitters (most often piezoelectric).
The technique is used to clean tools of complex configuration. It consists of a frame, a bath, an ultrasonic generator, and a control unit. Works according to environmentally friendly technology (without the use of strong cleaning agents). Keeping the device clean (assemblies, parts) is carried out without dismantling.
Before you understand how to choose the right equipment, you need to know how it works and what ultrasonic sterilizers are.
Operating principle: the generator supplies alternating current of the required frequency, which is captured by the emitters and turns into mechanical vibrations.
The operation of the device is based on the effect of cavitation - the formation of millions of small air bubbles in a liquid in a short period of time, and their instant destruction.
The process is carried out as a result of the alternation of low and high pressure waves under the influence of ultrasound.
Deep cleaning of the instruments occurs due to the rupture of bubbles that form on the walls of the container, due to contact with the objects being processed, which create many shock microwaves.
The types of ultrasonic sterilizers are conventionally divided into household and professional units.The first category is available to any buyer, it is widespread among areas where processing of small items is required. The second, in most cases, is operated by medical institutions, the price segment for it may be 10 times higher than budget equipment.
On other grounds, equipment is classified by:
The design features include: the presence of additional functions (heating, accelerated mode), equipment (equipment) and other nuances.
A pre-formulated plan will help not to make mistakes when choosing an ultrasonic bath, which will help the buyer to understand what he needs, and the seller to select the device as accurately as possible according to the criteria put forward. The main purchase requirements include:
According to cosmetologists, small-sized equipment is enough for working in a hairdressing salon, manicure and pedicure salons. This option is also suitable for household activities: sterilize jewelry, glasses, CD / DVD discs, cutlery, small metal parts, food bottles and much more.
Medical facilities need a high-performance machine that can handle any kind of pollution quickly and efficiently. At the same time, pay attention to the fact that it works on water, a solution in which there are no toxic residues. It is best to buy a heated water sterilizer, but at the same time carefully study the instructions on what items can be processed. In their manual, you can learn how to use the unit, its features and other functions.
Which is the best device to buy - the choice is up to the buyer.
Speaking of Chinese products, one immediately associates buying in the Ali Express online store. This is an option for those who wish to set up a beauty business (small salon or at home).
You can also order professional equipment online, since a warranty card is required for it. And confidence in the chosen device will be betrayed by customer reviews that describe proven platforms, indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the model.
You can also find a suitable option in stores of household appliances or professional equipment, but sometimes it takes more time than buying from a virtual platform.
