Jewelry Cleaner Machines: Ultrasonic, Sonic, Ionic, Steam, Jewellery Cleaning Machinery Parts

An ultrasonic jewelry cleaner (ultrasound cleaner) is an electronic device, which is suitable for standard household outlets, and designed to remove dirt from jewelry.

Ultrasonic jewelry cleaners consist of two main parts:

• a cleaning tank - this is filled with warm water and/or a cleaning solution (non-ionic surfactants, detergents or ammonia) together with the jewelry items
• a transducer - this produces ultrasonic energy transmitted by vibrating sound waves (at over 40,000 cycles per second). This creates microscopic bubbles (cavitation).

The cavitation process penetrates those hard to reach crevices in jewelry that cleaning cloths and cleaners miss.

The jewelry itself is safe in this process but it is advised that very soft stones such as opals, amber, turquoise and pearls and jewelry items such as emeralds, tanzanite, peridot, malachite, mother of pearl and coral are not cleaned in this way.

Steam cleaning is safe for all but the most delicate gems and is a good alternative for set gemstones.

Sonic jewelry cleaners are gentler than the more powerful ultrasonic cleaners and are usually safe with emerald etc if used for a short period, although care should be taken.

Ionic jewelry cleaners are much more reliable for delicate jewelry items as they do not use heat, sound waves, or abrasives.

The Blitz Alpha and Blitz Alpha II Ultrasonic jewelry cleaners are budget machines that come with jewelry basket and brush.

The Blitz Alpha II also comes with concentrate.

They are both battery operated with twin-speed action.

This jewelry cleaner is suitable for all types of jewelry except pearls. It is utilised by placing the concentrate in the lower vessel and inverting to activate the cleaning process. It comes with concentrate and plastic tweezers.

Ultrasonic cleaners are ideal for articles that are complicated in shape. These ultrasonic cleaners are easy to use and ideal for cleaning: airbrush parts, model motor engines and parts, jewelry, watch parts, dentures, glasses, coins etc. With those that heat water it is suggested that hot water is added so that less time is used heating the water.

The process of ultrasonic cleaning in a liquid is the action of ultrasonic waves generating micro vacuole bubbles which repeatedly expand and contract. Once these bubbles burst, the action will gradually and gently remove the contamination or dirt that is adhered to the surface of the article. The cleaning efficiency is improved with the addition of a cleaning liquid due to its dissolving and permeating properties.

Ensure stones are secure in their settings before using them in a sonic cleaner. Do not soak glued stones for extended periods of time. Do not place pearls and opals in any sonic machine. Glued costume jewelry and cloisonne jewelry should be dipped into the sonic cleaner and then cleaned manually.

Sonic jewelry cleaners use a vibrating motor to stimulate the cleaning process.

Professional jewelers have been using steam cleaning for years to produce sparkling cleanliness in jewelry.

The Jewel Jet steam jewelry cleaner uses powerful bursts of steam to blast away dirt and grime from your jewelry.
