History of Sonic Jewelry Cleaner

Ultrasonics is a new technology. The term refers to sound waves above the audible-to-human range, about 20,000 cycles per second and up.

The Ultrasonic jewelry cleaner is a relatively new way to clean jewelry, resulting from the science of "ultrasonics". The sound waves whip up the water into millions of microscopic bubbles that burst against the jewelry ripping away the dirt in the process.

The harnessing of Ultrasonic capabilities would have meant nothing back in the 60s - unless you had the hearing of the family dog, as it hadn't even been discovered back then.

One of the very few uses of ultra-high sound waves during the early 60s was, its use in whistles, too high-pitched for human ears to call pets.

It was the aircraft, electronic and missile makers that caused the growth of the ultrasonics industry, that we owe for the development of the sonic jewelry cleaner, hailed by jewelers as one of the best and fastest ways to clean gold and gemstone jewelry around.

Before the development of ultrasonic cleaners, jet-engine nozzles and oil filters, for example, had to be thrown away when dirty. Ultrasonics changed all of that, as imbedded oil, dust and grime could be removed in minutes through the use of sound energy.

What Can The Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner ... Uhmm...Clean Then?

An ultrasonic cleaner is  a cleaning device that uses ultrasound (usually from 15-400 kHz) together with an appropriate cleaning solution to clean delicate items. The ultrasonic is not effective without the cleaning solution as it enhances the effect of a solution appropriate for the item.  

Ultrasonic cleaning devices have a multitude of uses from electric shavers, auto-engine parts, outboard motors, tips of ballpoint pens, and for cleaning jewelry.

Primarily, ultrasound cleaning devices are used for cleaning:

  • Mass-Produced Jewellery
  • Lenses and other optical parts
  • Coins
  • Watches
  • Dental and surgical instruments
  • Fountain pens
  • Industrial parts and electronic equipment.

Most jewelry workshops, watchmakers establishments or in cellular phone repair workshops use an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner.
