<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that cleaning by conventional cleaning equipment based on cavitation using e.g. an ultrasonic vibrator does not give sufficient cleaning effects and requires a long cleaning time. <P>SOLUTION: Cleaning equipment includes a cleaning chamber 12 storing articles 11 to be cleaned and a shock wave generating means 13 for generating shock waves in the cleaning chamber 12 and cleans the articles 11 by applying shock waves to the articles 11. More specifically, the cleaning equipment carries out cleaning by means of a shock wave generating device which generates shock waves in a range of high pressures by exploding an explosive or applying a discharge energy through electrodes. The configuration allows the reduction of the cleaning time and achieves energy saving and reduction of the environmental load owing to minimized use of chemicals, e.g. cleaners. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
