Industrial ultrasonic cleaning equipment for the Solomon Islands
Misonics supplies industrial ultrasonic cleaners and parts washers to maintenance workshops in the Solomon Islands. Mine sites, power stations, fishing fleets and marine engineering shops clean and rebuild components on site, without freighting them out to be cleaned.
Benchtop MSX machines for injectors and fuel parts. Floor tanks for heads and pump parts. EvoSonic and UltraTecno tanks for blocks, final drives and coolers.
Mining equipment cleaning, before and after
Parts customers sent us, photographed as they arrived and again after a documented cycle.
Cat 3516 head ports. Carbon lining both ports at 15 minutes. Bare cast iron to the back of both ports at 60 minutes, in MetalTek 100 at 30% and 70 °C. See the case study.
Drill pick holder. Rock dust, grease and corrosion baked into the shank and wear collar. The tool-steel face and weld detail readable again. More on mining.
Pick holder bore. The bore is where a pick seizes. Scale and packed fines out, with no reaming.
Dust suppression nozzle. Mineral scale out of the swirl chamber and off the seat. Nothing abrasive touched the orifice.
Mining equipment cleaning in the Solomon Islands
Gold mining on Guadalcanal runs haul trucks, dozers and excavators. Their components come off carrying baked carbon, grease and mineral mud. Hot alkaline chemistry and ultrasonics take them back to bare metal with no abrasive and no change in size.
Engines
Cylinder heads, blocks, liners, valves, pistons and rods. See piston ring grooves.
Cooling
Radiators, oil coolers and intercoolers, cleaned inside the core where rodding cannot reach, in CoreKleen HX.
Drivetrain and hydraulics
Final drives, transmission parts, valve blocks and cylinders.
The reference job is a Cat 3516B overhaul, the V16 in the Cat 793D haul truck. Its heads came back to bare cast iron in 60 minutes. Valves, springs and hardware went through the same bath in the same basket. More on mining.
Diesel power station maintenance
Most of the country's grid power comes from diesel generator sets. Their overhauls bring the same parts to the bench every time, and they clean well in an ultrasonic tank.
Fuel system
Injectors, nozzles and fuel pump parts, with carbon and lacquer out of the fine passages. Bench work runs in an MSX 30.
Engine overhaul
Heads, liners, pistons and valves from the generator engines, cleaned to bare metal before measurement.
Cooling and air
Charge-air coolers, oil coolers and radiators, cleaned through the core.
Filters
Reusable strainers and filter elements. See the power station filters case study.
Spark plugs
On gas engines, plugs cleaned for longer service life. See CHP spark plugs.
Recipes and logs
Machines with a controller store a recipe for each part and log every cycle for the maintenance record.
Marine ultrasonic cleaning in the Solomon Islands
The tuna fleet, inter-island ships and workboats keep marine engineering shops busy in Honiara and Noro. They clean two kinds of soil. Salt, scale and growth come from the seawater side. Carbon and sludge come from the fuel and oil side.
Coolers
Charge-air coolers, plate and shell exchangers, box coolers. Descale takes the scale.
Seawater systems
Pumps, valves and strainers in bronze, copper-nickel and stainless steel.
Exchanger tube ends. Scale and oil sludge bridged the tubes. Open again after the cycle, with no rodding.
Exchanger bundles. Tubesheet, tubes and shell in one immersion. Coolers usually need an alkaline bath, then an inhibited descale. See the cooler and exchanger case study and the marine page.
Pick the chemistry by the soil and the metal
Settings below are from each product's technical data sheet. Chemistry is matched to your parts and quoted with the machine. Rinse after every cycle. The full list is on chemicals.
MetalTek 100
Baked carbon, paint and rust back to bare metal on cast iron heads, blocks and steel parts. The bath used on the Cat 3516 heads.
Ferrous parts only. Never aluminium.
Product page →
Brulin AquaVantage 815 QR-NF
Grease, oil and carbon off steel, cast iron, aluminium and titanium. Carries Pratt & Whitney approval PMC 1339.
Not for copper, brass or bronze.
Product page →
CoreKleen HX
Oil sludge and fin fouling out of radiators, coolers and exchanger bundles.
Descale
Waterside scale and salt out of coolers and seawater parts, and mineral scale off nozzles.
Never above 60 °C in an ultrasonic tank.
Product page →
Desludge
Carbon and sludge off intake, EGR and fuel-side parts. Aluminium is protected at working strength.
Not for zinc, galvanised or magnesium.
Product page →
Anti-Rust
Clean iron and steel flash rust while warm and wet, and faster in a humid climate. A dip after the rinse stops it.

Parts washers for Solomon Islands workshops
An ultrasonic parts washer cleans inside drillings, galleries and cores that a solvent tank and brush do not reach. Pick it by the parts and the power on site.
Benchtop parts washer
The MSX 15 and MSX 30 for injectors, fuel and hydraulic parts and pump parts. 240 V from a standard 10 A socket.
Floor parts washer for oily work
The MSX 140 and MSX 240 carry a weir, oil capture and filtration for engine and mine workshop soils. 415 V three phase.
Sealed-chamber parts washer
The UltraWash washes, rinses and dries behind one door in about twenty minutes, for repeat batches of the same parts.
How an ultrasonic machine compares with a solvent washer is on the ultrasonic parts cleaner page.
Supply and support to the Solomon Islands
The Solomon Islands runs 230 V, 50 Hz with the Type I plug used in Australia. Larger machines are 415 V three phase, checked against the site supply at quotation.
Quoted to Honiara, Noro or your nominated port with the machine.
Stainless 316 tanks, insulated on the floor and EvoSonic machines. Every wearing part is replaceable.
On the MSX 140, MSX 240 and every EvoSonic. The bath keeps working for weeks between changes. See oil removal and weirs.
Our engineers read the controller, diagnose and adjust from Melbourne. Most faults are found without a site visit. Spares are held in Australia.
Iron and steel parts finish in Anti-Rust, so they can queue for machining without blooming.
