Cavitation in ultrasonic technology

Cavitation is a physical phenomenon that plays a central role in ultrasonic cleaning. It occurs when high-frequency sound waves (typically between 20–80 kHz) are introduced into a liquid. This causes microscopic vapour bubbles to form, which grow rapidly and then collapse. These implosions generate high local temperatures and pressure peaks that remove dirt particles from surfaces – even in the finest structures and hard-to-reach areas.

Advantages of cavitation:
• Thorough cleaning without mechanical action
• Gentle on sensitive materials such as glass, metal and ceramics
• Effective on complex geometries (e.g. medical instruments, watch parts)
• Environmentally friendly, as less chemicals are often required

What is cavitation?
Cavitation refers to the formation and collapse of microscopic vapour bubbles in a liquid, triggered by rapid pressure changes. In ultrasonic technology, this effect is specifically used to clean surfaces effectively – even where brushes or chemicals fail.

The cavitation process
• Generation of ultrasonic waves
• An ultrasonic transducer converts electrical energy into high-frequency sound waves (typically 20–80 kHz).
• These waves propagate in the cleaning fluid and generate alternating high- and low-pressure phases.
• Formation of cavitation bubbles
• During the low-pressure phase, tiny vapour bubbles (microbubbles) form in the liquid.
• These bubbles are unstable and grow over several cycles.
• Collapse of the bubbles
• During the high-pressure phase, the bubbles implode abruptly.

Cleaning effect
• The implosion generates microjets and shock waves.
• These act directly on the surface of the object to be cleaned.
• Dirt, oil, oxidation and particles are mechanically removed – even in crevices, boreholes or rough structures.

Temperature of the liquid:
• Higher temperatures promote bubble formation and improve the cleaning effect.
• Type of cleaning liquid

Soprod is a Swiss manufacturer of watch movements and components and is now part of the Festina Group.

Soprod SA Les Reussilles was founded on 16 September 1966 in Tramelan in the Swiss Jura with the aim of manufacturing mechanical watch components on an industrial scale.

Later, Soprod became a general movement manufacturer and assembled movements for other companies, including ETA. The company was acquired by Léman Capital and merged with Swiss quartz specialist SFT Group in 2005 to form a new company. The company hoped to create an alternative to the ETA 2892-A2.

This group was acquired in 2007 by Peace Mark from Hong Kong, which, however, went bankrupt the following year. STM was bought back in 2008 by Festina's management, without the quartz production for the mass market that the company had established in China.

Today, Soprod is the parent company within the Festina Group, which manufactures components for Swiss watches.

Soprod's most important mechanical movement is the Soprod A-10, which is based on the Seiko 4L family. On this basis, Soprod also manufactures a range of complications, including large date, second time zone, power reserve indicator, 24-hour display, chronograph, moon phase and more. Soprod also manufactures escapements and balance springs for other manufacturers.

Nacre Pearls are high-quality artificial pearls that are designed to look and feel very similar to real pearls. They consist of a crystal core that is coated with several layers of nacre (mother-of-pearl) - hence the name.

Properties of Nacre Pearls:

• Silky-smooth surface with a mother-of-pearl-like lustre
• High shape and colour uniformity - ideal for jewellery design
• Robust and durable as they are not as sensitive as real pearls

They are particularly popular for DIY jewellery, pearl necklaces, bracelets or earrings. Nacre is the material that real pearls are made of - it is formed from shells and is known for its iridescent lustre.

Real pearls vs. nacre pearls - recognising the differences
All important differences are listed in the table. If two real pearls are rubbed lightly against each other, you will feel a slightly rough resistance - with artificial pearls, the surface is smooth and glides without friction.

How to work with Nacre Pearls
The pearls are threaded with normal pearls - with pearl thread, wire or elastic band. The ends are stylishly secured with crimp beads and calottes.
These beads are also ideal for earrings, bracelets, necklaces, hair jewellery or buttons.

Since 1866, GRIFFIN 1866 has stood for the highest quality in the manufacture of stringing materials. Founded by trimmer Karl Schinle in Schramberg, the company recognised the jewellery industry's growing demand for professional thread for necklaces and colliers at an early stage.

Thanks to close contacts with the jewellery town of Pforzheim, GRIFFIN quickly developed into the leading manufacturer of pearl silk - then as now a purely natural product with a special status.

GRIFFIN established itself worldwide under this brand and today offers modern high-tech fibres and jewellery wires in addition to classic silk.

Innovation and technical expertise are still central pillars of the company today. In-house machine developments and state-of-the-art production methods guarantee consistently high product quality.

The weekend workshop on 17.05. and 18.05.2025 on the subject of PUK fine welding was a complete success!

The latest fine welding technology was the topic of this seminar, which took place on the premises of Gebrüder Boley. In cooperation with Lampert Werktechnik, Gebrüder Boley also succeeded in organising a workshop on PUK fine welding in 2025. The participants took the opportunity to work live on the latest generation of PUK 6.1 welding machines.

The 2-day seminar took place last weekend on Saturday, 17 May and Sunday, 18 May 2025 under the direction of Susanne Englert, trained master silversmith and lecturer at the state drawing academy in Hanau.

The workshop focussed on the following topics:

• Repairs to delicate workpieces, including the welding of ear studs and settings.
• Welding in MICRO and PIN mode for welding on ear stud pins
• Fixation welding for attaching objects
• Treatment of individual special applications

The participants had brought their own jewellery and watches with them. Mrs Englert was able to use these as examples to work out solutions to problems for all participants and thus provide important tips for everyday workshop work. The focus was also on the exchange of experiences between the participants.

The participants spoke of a very successful workshop, which is offered annually in this form by the company Gebrüder Boley. We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to all participants and especially to Mrs Susanne Englert and Lampert Werktechnik for their commitment.
