MAFAC rotating Ultrasonics: Cleanliness for the finest Structures – with patented Technology

Motion plus ultrasonics: Whether it is the finest, most complex workpieces or increased cleanliness requirements, ultrasonics are used as a complementary process to thoroughly remove particulate and filmic contamination. This works all the better with MAFAC rotating Ultrasonics. 

Our patented technology, integrated into chamber cleaning, increases the performance of the high-frequency sound waves through motion: the ultrasonic module moves with the basket. Acoustic energy reaches all surfaces evenly – without shadow zones typical of rigid systems. Critical geometries and heavy contamination can be targeted; delicate structures and sensitive materials are cleaned effectively and gently by reducing the acoustic input.

Complementary to our pressure-change technology MAFAC VAP, reproducibly high technical cleanliness is achieved. MAFAC rotating Ultrasonics is ideally suited for validated cleaning of instruments in medical technology, the removal of finest particles in optics and laser industries, or residue-free cleaning of complex geometries in semiconductor and additive manufacturing – even under cleanroom conditions.

Our patented, complementary technology is based on the principle of acoustic cavitation. High-frequency sound waves at 25 kHz and/or 40 kHz are transmitted into the cleaning medium. Microscopic vacuum bubbles form, expand, collapse and finally implode at high speed. These mini-implosions release mechanical energy that acts directly on the component surfaces and removes particulate and filmic contamination down to the micro level.

The key advantage over conventional ultrasonics: acoustic pulses are applied in motion – with rotation of the cleaning basket, spray jet and ultrasonic oscillators. Cavitation acts from changing directions, minimizing shadow zones and reliably reaching even complex structures. In combination with MAFAC VAP, rotating Ultrasonics ensures high cleanliness in validatable processes integrated into your sensitive manufacturing environments.
