Ultrasonic Cleaning
Ultrasonic cleaning is a process that uses high-frequency sound waves to agitate a liquid cleaning solution. This agitation creates millions of tiny bubbles that implode on the surface of the object being cleaned, effectively dislodging dirt, grime, and contaminants from hard-to-reach areas.
Benefits of Ultrasonic
-
Removal of Manufacturing Residues: New bike chains often come with manufacturing residues such as oils, greases, and metal shavings. Ultrasonic cleaning effectively removes these residues, ensuring that the chain is clean and ready for optimal performance.
-
Enhanced Lubricant Adhesion: Cleaning the chain with ultrasonic technology removes any contaminants that could interfere with the adhesion of lubricants, such as chain wax or oil. This allows the lubricant to penetrate the chain more effectively, providing smoother operation and better protection against wear and corrosion.
-
Improved Longevity: By thoroughly cleaning a new bike chain before use, you can help prolong its lifespan. Removing any initial contaminants and ensuring proper lubrication can prevent premature wear and corrosion, ultimately extending the life of the chain and reducing the frequency of maintenance.
-
Enhanced Performance: A clean chain translates to smoother shifting, quieter operation, and overall better performance of the bike drivetrain. Ultrasonic cleaning ensures that the chain is free from debris and residues that could impede its movement, allowing for optimal performance on the road or trail.
Ultrasonic cleaners are 95%+ effective in getting grit, grease and contaminants out of the deep recesses of a chain that can't be removed by other methods.
