Industrial Degreasing Solutions
Ultrasonic degreasing removes cutting, forming, quenching and preservative oils from metal parts using cavitation and controlled chemistry.
Overview
Where degreasing fits
Oil removal is the most common industrial cleaning task.
Degreasing is required after machining, forming, heat treatment and maintenance, and before assembly, plating, coating or inspection. Ultrasonic cavitation supplies the mechanical action that peels oil from the surface, while a water-based detergent or compatible solvent lowers the bond between oil and metal.
The choice of cleaning solution, temperature, frequency and filtration sets the result. Heavy oil loading benefits from oil skimming, as on the ultrasonic cleaner with filtration.
Process Considerations
Degreasing decisions
The configuration follows the oil and the part.
Light cutting oils, heavy forming and drawing oils, quench oils and greases behave differently.
Heavier and more viscous oils need higher temperature and stronger cavitation.
- Cutting and tapping fluids
- Drawing and stamping oils
- Quench and heat-treat oils
- Greases and preservatives
28 KHz gives stronger cavitation for robust parts and heavy oil; 40 KHz is a balanced default for mixed production.
- 28 KHz for heavy, robust parts
- 40 KHz general-purpose
- Higher frequencies for fine work
Warm, detergent-based baths dissolve oil more effectively; temperature and chemistry are validated against the material.
- Typical 50-60 degrees C for oil
- Alkaline cleaners for general work
- Neutral cleaners for sensitive alloys
Oil skimming and filtration keep the bath from becoming saturated and redepositing oil.
- Oil-water separator
- Surface skimmer
- Particulate filtration

Planning the application
Ultrasonic cleaning with a matched detergent is widely effective for oil removal, especially from complex parts; the exact chemistry and frequency are validated for the part.
Many oil-removal tasks run around 50-60 degrees C; heavier oils may use higher temperatures, capped by material compatibility.
Yes, oil skimming and oil-water separation carry removed oil away from the bath and extend its usable life.
