Purity embraces Resonance
The purity of products and components is a
decisive quality factor in the high-tech industry,
where requirements increase steadily.
Founded in 1982, KKS develops and manufactures
efficient systems and processes for cleaning
and surface refinement. We proudly state the fact
that our work continues to resonate with our
customers.
Purity moves our World
Optimal Cleaning and
Surface Refinement
The pulse of purity beats in the heart of Switzerland.
Over several decades, KKS has developed into
the epicenter of ultrasonic cleaning and surface
refinement. What are the stimuli for our excitement?
Certainly the motivation and the power to
innovate. The knowledge of the technology. The
proper skills, obviously. But above all, it is our ability
to pick up vibrations. Meaning: we listen to our
customers. We respond to their needs. We explore
and analyze their challenges. We develop state-
of-the-art solutions. We improve performance,
efficiency and flexibility. Thus we create substantial
added value.
This is what we rely on:
Innovation
Technology
Craftsmanship
Customer focus
What you can rely on:
High-performance ultrasonic components for

Purity originates in Nature
Effective Ultrasonics and its Efficient Use
Surface purity can be achieved through a combination
of aqueous cleaning media and the physical phenom-
enon – cavitation, caused by ultrasonics. That is why
aqueous ultrasonic cleaning has become the gold
standard wherever the most stringent cleanliness and
environmental criteria must be met. That makes
KKS the first address when it comes to employing this
technology in an application-oriented and cost-
effective manner. Leading companies from a wide
spectrum of industries have chosen us as their tech-
nology partner. They appreciate us and have known us
for many years. Just as they have developed an
appreciation for water, one of the basic resources of
our technology.
Ultrasonics – This is our Spectrum:
Comprehensive consulting services for its efficient
and effective use
Flexible in-house manufacturing for optimal solutions,
available “in no time”
Innovative, cost-effective systems for all applications:
generators / transducers / equipped tanks
All components are available with SINGLE, DUAL or
MIX frequency technology

Purity requires Precision
Outstanding Processes and Proven Systems
The demands on purity continue to increase.
New standards and regulations require more and more
quantified quality criteria from components and
products. Manufacturers capable of meeting such
challenges have an important competitive advantage.
Thanks to our extensive knowledge in developing
cleaning processes and surface refinement equipment,
we have an eye for appropriate solutions for every
requirement. Led by advanced project management
methods (we are ISO 9001 certified), using
carefully selected components, and driven by the
passion for our craft, we transform your specifications
into durable high-quality systems. With the utmost
precision.
Solutions without Limitations
Our services include manufacturing standard
components as well as individual, customer-specific
systems.
Applications with Priorities
Our systems are mainly used in the following
industries:
Medical technology
Watch-making industry
