Ultrasonic cleaning
07 February 2017
William Hughes, known for the manufacture of bespoke springs and wire forms, acquired ultrasonic cleaning specialist AC Services (South West) of Yeovil in 2015 and has built an 80m² Class 7 clean room to incorporate the full range of cleaning services offered by AC Services. These include ultrasonic cleaning, passivation, degreasing, hose cleaning and kitting.

The clean room incorporates an inspection dark room so that parts can be inspected under ultra-violet light, while particulate analysis and counting with the aid of microscopy, for the verification of the cleaning, are used for oxygen and other related cleaning applications.
William Hughes offers sub contract specialised cleaning to the aerospace, marine, nuclear, space and medical industries, together with a number of other sectors. The company will be at this year’s Southern Manufacturing & Electronics Show, Stand P38
