    What is Degassing?

    You might have read or heard the term “degassing”, or noticed that our Cavitek range has a Degas feature. But what is degassing, and why is it important?

    Air and other natural gasses are found in liquids, especially in water which has come from a pressurised tap.  Pouring a liquid solution into an ultrasonic cleaner will also aerate it.  You often see bubbles rising to the surface, but there will be dissolved gas remaining in the fluid that you can’t see.  

    Why is this a problem?

    Any air in the liquid cleaning solution will affect the efficiency of your ultrasonic tank, leaving you struggling to achieve optimum results.  The gas in the fluid will disrupt the cavitation process, preventing it from reaching small cavities and giving you that microscopic clean.  Put simply, the ultrasonic waves will waste energy getting rid of the gas, rather than clean anything.

    So how do I degas the fluid?

    Introducing the ULTROPOWDER Range

    Always on the lookout for new, more efficient and effective methods of ultrasonic cleaning, Allendale Ultrasonics’ engineers and chemists came together to create a new range of products which we believe is a game changer for the market.

     

    Ultrasonic cleaning fluids

    Having sold a range of ultrasonic cleaning fluids for many years we knew that there must be a more efficient, eco-friendly way of supplying cleaning solutions.  Naturally, when it comes to shipping liquids there are obstacles, whether it’s potential damage in transit, shipping restrictions imposed on hazardous materials, or simply high shipping and storage costs due to size and weight.  We wanted a product which was safe and easy to ship to our customers around the globe, whilst still guaranteeing the high-quality results our customers expect.

    So, after months of research and development, we start the new year with the launch of

    Look at all of that grime!

     

    Our glass beakers have done an excellent job in aiding the cleaning of these Schaublin collets during just a four minute cycle.

    We watched the sponsored UWR Racing Team reach the podium at the Silverstone circuit during a victorious weekend of the Praga 2022 Cup

    Our Managing Director Alan Ward showed our support as sponsors of the University of Wolverhampton Racing Team during last weekend’s podium win at the Praga Cup 2022 races. 


    Following Saturday’s first-place win, Alan visited the Silverstone circuit on Sunday to watch the engineering student’s R1 car cross the finish line with another podium win in third place. He saw the racing car up close with the Allendale Ultrasonics logo featured on either side and met this round’s talented drivers Stefan Oleaney and Shane Kelly.  


    The student team have worked hard on the car and will now have a month off until the next round of races at Donington Park Circuit in August. We hope to be there again on the trackside supporting the team.
