Preventative Maintenance Schedule for Ultrasonic Cleaning Machines
Daily Maintenance
Task |
Description |
Inspect the tank |
Check for debris, residue, or foreign objects. Empty and clean the tank if necessary. |
Check solution levels |
Ensure cleaning solution is at the correct level for effective cavitation. |
Check water level sensors (if applicable) |
Confirm sensors are clean, unobstructed, and functioning properly. |
Inspect baskets |
Make sure baskets are intact, clean, and properly seated. |
Wipe down surfaces |
Clean exterior surfaces to remove spills and prevent buildup. |
Check cycle functionality |
Run a short test cycle to ensure ultrasonic activity, heat, and timers are operational. |
Drain and replace solution (if needed) |
Replace solution if heavily soiled or at the end of a shift (especially for precision cleaning tasks). |
Weekly Maintenance
Task |
Description |
Thorough tank cleaning |
Fully drain (if needed) and wipe the tank with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive tools. |
Inspect transducers |
Listen for irregular sounds or signs of uneven cavitation; look for physical damage. |
Check cables and plugs |
Look for wear, fraying, or loose connections. |
Inspect filters (if equipped) |
Clean or replace filters in machines with agitation/filtration systems. |
Monthly Maintenance
Task |
Description |
Verify ultrasonic output |
Use a foil test or cavitation meter to assess uniformity and effectiveness. |
Check for leaks |
Inspect around the tank and fittings for any signs of leakage. |
Inspect heater function |
Ensure the heating system reaches the set temperature and holds it steadily. |
Check agitation shaft seals (if applicable) |
Inspect seals for signs of wear or leakage around the agitation shaft. |
Quarterly Maintenance
Task |
Description |
Inspect internal components |
Have a technician check wiring, relays, and internal circuits. |
Replace worn components |
Replace Gaskets, Seals or Filters if deterioration is observed. |
Safety review |
Confirm compliance with lockout/tagout procedures and electrical safety protocols. |
