Ultrasonic Cleaning for Cuisinart Parts

Message: I'm looking for a time-saving solution for cleaning plastic parts used for food preparation, such as Cuisinart parts. Parts are all sterilizable and will withstand the dishwasher, but the dishwasher does not provide adequate coverage to clean small crevices, gaps, etc.

Volume of parts ranges up to 1 gallon. This would be for home use only; not for profit-related activities.

Would any of your ultrasonic units be appropriate? Do you have cleaning solutions that would be appropriate for food-related applications?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Sir,

There are a number of considerations here - I am assuming that you are cleaning primarily blade assemblies, mixing arms and the like. Most of these parts will be a combination of hard plastics and metal, and should do quite well in an ultrasonic cleaner. Softer plastics and rubber parts will tend to absorb ultrasonic energy, and results would be less than optimum.

As for the solution, remember that all the tank does it scrub - you have to match the soil and cleaning solution for best results. Make sure that the soap you pick is FDA approved, and is made for the soils you are attempting to remove, and it will work fine.

You may want to take a look at our new Samson food washer. It can be used for dishes, and has some other features that you will find interesting, given your application.
