What is ultrasonic cleaners?

Ultrasonic cleaners use high-frequency sound waves to agitate a liquid, typically water or a solvent. This agitation creates cavitation bubbles that implode, generating intense energy that removes contaminants from surfaces immersed in the liquid. They are commonly used for cleaning jewelry, dental and surgical instruments, electronic components, and other delicate items.
