MP Engineering provides ultrasonic cleaning for machined and industrial components from our facility in Chippenham, Wiltshire. The process removes oils, cutting fluids, fine particles and other contaminants from external surfaces and from features that manual or spray cleaning cannot reach. We clean parts machined in-house before dispatch and offer the service to engineering companies across the UK.
Parts are immersed in a tank of cleaning solution while transducers pass high-frequency sound waves through the liquid. This creates millions of microscopic bubbles that form and collapse against the part’s surface, a process known as cavitation. The energy released lifts contamination away from the material without abrasion or mechanical contact.
Because cavitation happens wherever the liquid reaches, it cleans blind holes, internal bores, threads, cross-drilling, and tight internal corners as thoroughly as flat faces. Debris left in these features can affect fit, sealing and long-term performance once a part is assembled.
We provide ultrasonic cleaning for components across the sectors we already machine for:
See our industries page for more on the sectors we support.
Ultrasonic cleaning sits alongside our CNC machining, mechanical assembly and vapour blasting services. One team can machine, clean, finish, and assemble a component, removing handling between suppliers and keeping quality control in one place.
Ultrasonic cleaning and vapour blasting do different jobs. Vapour blasting improves the surface finish. Ultrasonic cleaning removes contamination, including any residual media left in oilways or internal passages after blasting. Where a part needs both, we carry out the two processes in sequence.
