When and How to Apply Aqueous Cleaning
When to Use
- General Cleaning: Suitable for less complex parts where high precision is not as critical.
- Water-Soluble Contaminants: Effective for cleaning contaminants that are easily dissolved in water, such as coolants, water-based lubricants, and simple dirt.
- Environmental Considerations: Often chosen for its lower environmental impact compared to some solvent-based systems.
How to Use
- Process: Involves using water combined with detergents or other cleaning agents. The parts are typically sprayed or immersed in the aqueous solution.
- Rinsing and Drying: After cleaning, parts are rinsed with clean water to remove any remaining detergent and then dried, often using hot air or vacuum systems.
- Chemical Additives: Can include surfactants, builders, and corrosion inhibitors to enhance cleaning performance and protect parts during and after the cleaning process.

Spray Washing vs. Ultrasonic Cleaning
Spray Washing
Spray washing utilizes high-pressure jets of cleaning solution to remove heavy and large contaminants from robust parts. This method is best suited for larger, more durable parts with straightforward geometries, making it effective for high-throughput cleaning operations.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Ultrasonic cleaning uses high-frequency sound waves to create microscopic bubbles that effectively remove fine contaminants from intricate and delicate parts. This method is ideal for cleaning complex shapes, small crevices, and delicate components without causing damage.
Spray Washing
Conveyor Belt Tunnel Washing
This tunnel washing system uses a stainless steel conveyor belt to transport parts through a high-pressure cleaning process, efficiently removing contaminants with a combination of chemical, thermal, and mechanical actions.
