Can mechanical watches be cleaned with an ultrasonic cleaner? Many watch lovers who know about ultrasonic cleaning machines may have such a question, and the answer is yes. There are probably two kinds of people who have this problem. One is to know whether the ultrasonic cleaning machine can clean the mechanical table, the other is to know whether the ultrasonic cleaning machine can clean the mechanical table. Here is to explain whether the ultrasonic cleaning machine can clean the mechanical table from two angles.
1. Can the watch be cleaned with an ultrasonic cleaner? Will it damage the watch? On the market for cleaning the mechanical watch, ultrasonic cleaning machine is generally home ultrasonic cleaning machine, mechanical watch steel band or some of our usual cleaning of gold and silver jewelry itself has a certain degree of hardness. Household series cleaning machines generally have small power, a frequency is 40KHz, and will not have any damage to the surface of these objects. Of course, some people may think that the use of ultrasonic cleaning will not cause mechanical watch movement and other parts of damage. This is also a watch people more concerned about the problem. The answer is no. Cleaning machines generally clean their watch chains. When cleaning the mechanical watch, we will watch face up, the watch chain into the water, and add a certain amount of cleaning fluid (cleaning fluid can use shower gel, detergent, soap water, etc.) for cleaning. If you still have concerns, you can consider spending 2-3 minutes to remove the watch chain to clean, it so you can be 100% assured. After all, some expensive watches, such as DW, Omega, Casio, longan, Tissot, Cartier, Rolex, and other famous watches, are not one-time wear. They can be worn for as little as 3-5 years, up to 8-10 years or more. The cleaning and maintenance work is in place.
2, ultrasonic cleaning machine cleaning mechanical table can clean? When it comes to cleaning effects, it starts with the principle of ultrasonic cleaning: ultrasonic cleaning machine because in the liquid conduction beyond the human auditory frequency (more than 20 kHz) of sound waves. When sound waves propagate in the cleaning fluid because sound waves are longitudinal waves, the action of longitudinal waves pushing the medium will change the pressure in the liquid, resulting in countless tiny vacuum bubbles, this process is called"Cavitation"(the removal of air impurities from a liquid). When the bubble is compressed and bursts, will produce a strong impact of energy and will hide in the gap dead corner of the dirt washed away, thus enhancing the cleaning effect. Because of the high frequency, short wavelength, and strong penetration of ultrasonic, so the hidden cracks or complex structures of the cleaning objects can achieve a good cleaning effect.
The above is a detailed description of whether the ultrasonic cleaning machine can wash the mechanical watch. In daily life, using the ultrasonic cleaning machine to clean the mechanical watch is cleaner than we do by hand because the role of the ultrasound cleaning solution is to reach the difficult clean the corner to carry out ultrasonic vibration cleaning, the common household ultrasonic cleaning machine as long as the correct operation will not cause damage to the watch.
