06 Back to Base Descale

Ultrasonic Descaling — The Most Thorough Clean Available

GMS Espresso uses Ultrawave ultrasonic cleaning technology for back-to-base descaling — one of the most effective methods available for removing heavy limescale and blockages from commercial coffee machine components.

The ultrasonic bath works by generating high-frequency sound waves through a cleaning solution, creating millions of microscopic bubbles that agitate and lift scale deposits from even the most inaccessible surfaces — including thin copper pipework, group heads and heat exchangers. Unlike chemical descaling, it requires no harsh chemicals and is significantly kinder to copper and chrome components.

The results speak for themselves. Components that would typically take days to clean chemically can be fully restored in as little as three hours in the ultrasonic bath.

Benefits of Ultrawave Ultrasonic Cleaning

  • Reduces descaling time from days to hours
  • Removes limescale and blockages from the finest copper pipework and group heads
  • No harsh chemicals — safer for components and engineers
  • Thoroughly cleans internal surfaces that are impossible to reach manually
  • Kinder to copper, chrome and delicate internal parts
  • Allows more components to be returned to service rather than replaced
