Q&A on ultrasonic cleaners for jewelry

Why use an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner?

The ultrasonic jewelry cleaner simplifies the cleaning process. Simply immerse the jewelry in the tank, filled with liquid (a mixture of water and a specific detergent). The ultrasonic cleaner then becomes the equivalent of a cleaning tool at the micrometric scale. It acts on the entire surface of the jewelry, even in the most inaccessible areas. It cleans deeply, without any risk of scratching. Ultrasonic machines are used by jewelry professionals. Find them on this page.

How does an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner work?

An ultrasonic cleaner takes the form of a tank filled with liquid (water and detergent). A generator (transducer) emits an ultrasonic wave that propagates through the bath liquid. It creates pressure/depression variations: this is cavitation. This phenomenon creates micro-bubbles, which implode under the action of a new overpressure, releasing energy. It is this energy that is used as a micrometric mechanical action to clean jewelry, even in the most inaccessible areas.

How much does an ultrasonic cleaner for jewelry cost?

The prices of these machines range from €970 excl. tax to €2,570 excl. tax depending on the tank size. With this type of device, you can clean various objects, such as watch parts, glasses, dental equipment... Find all our ultrasonic cleaners for jewelry on this page.

Which ultrasonic machine should be used to clean jewelry?

It is recommended for jewelers to use a professional ultrasonic machine. The models we offer come from the German manufacturer Elmasonic, and are made with top-grade stainless steel. The power of the waves remains constant over time, making it a quality long-term investment. Our devices have an adjustable frequency of 37 kHz or 80 kHz, and a maximum heating power of 1,000 watts. For cleaning your jewelry, it is important to pair the right machine with the right product. Use the cleaning product ARCASONIC LP841.

Which jewelry cannot be cleaned in an ultrasonic tank?

You can clean jewelry made of any metal or alloy. However, be careful with set jewelry. Precious or semi-precious stones and pearls are often glued onto the metal. Ultrasonic waves may separate them from the jewelry. Also avoid cleaning patinated or oxidized silver elements, unless you wish to see these effects disappear. Contact us if you have any doubts about the nature of the piece to be cleaned.

Also find our ultrasonic cleaners for watchmaking, and our raw materials, such assulfuric acid, to strip precious metals.
