Thank you for your interest in Crest Ultrasonic Firearm Cleaning Systems. In 1995, Crest Ultrasonics appointed Police Products Corp. to be exclusive distributor and technical sales representative for their Firearm Systems. Police Products Corp. CEO Gregory J. Infante works very closely with Crest to develop and improve Crest Firearm Systems. He has been a federal and state firearms licensed firearms dealer since 1978 and is active in shooting sports. His extensive experience with all firearm types enabled him to develop the best combination of equipment, chemicals and process available.
Crest Ultrasonics Corp., the world’s largest producer of ultrasonic cleaning equipment, in business for over 46 years, has manufacturing facilities in Trenton NJ, Tamarac FL, Germany and Malaysia with average annual sales in the $175 to $200 million range. All Crest Firearm Systems are manufactured in the USA.
Crest Firearm Systems are being used by numerous State and Federal Law Enforcement Agencies, Air Force Army and Navy Bases, DOE nuclear plant security forces, gun shops, shooting ranges and civilians who need to maintain many firearms in a short time period. On high volume firearm cleaning operations, users report being able to clean/lube firearms three times faster with the parts much cleaner than conventional hand cleaning, and receive substantial cost savings in labor and hazmat disposal.

Using water based detergents with rust inhibitor and heat, unburned powder, carbon, lint, oil & dirt will be quickly removed from the field stripped gun parts usually within 4-6 minutes of immersion with minimal hand labor. Heated ultrasonic cleaning, followed by rinsing and ultrasonic lubrication with supplied lube pan and special oil, insures that the parts are moisture free and protected. After excess lubricant is removed from the parts with compressed air, they can be lubricated in accordance with manufacturers instructions or your S.O.P.
Ultrasonic transducers mounted to the tank bottom produce high frequency sound waves which cause rapidly alternating high & low pressure conditions in the cleaning solution. Millions of microscopic bubbles form and then implode (a process called cavitation ) resulting in an intense scrubbing action that removes fouling even in the smallest indentations , grooves and impossible to reach by hand areas. Ultrasonic energy transmission is more effective than the competition with Crest’s patented Sweep Frequency constant power generators.
The parts are then restored to factory new level of cleanliness which could not be achieved by the usual hand cleaning methods. The process does not affect night sights, rubber grips, and plastic frames or leave the parts dried out and unprotected as a competing brand will.
Crest continues to lead the ultrasonic firearm cleaning industry with high quality equipment, chemistry, user friendly innovations and customer support. The first to offer non-hazardous odorless chemicals, heated tanks, Sweep Frequency technology and a fast process. Our combination of features gives you the best equipment and performance available for your investment and personal safety.
