Ultrasonic Cleaner - Professional

A professional range of ultrasonic cleaners and baths, designed for use in a commercial or industrial environment. Tank sizes range from 2 - 288 litre large size industrial baths (see here for XL ultrasonic baths up to 235 Ltr). All the ultrasonic cleaning baths are made from stainless steel and built to operate in a workplace. They are suitable for all day, everyday use and made to last. Typical examples of commercial use would be by a dentist, veterinary practice, tattoo studios or artists, chiropodists, mechanic, clock maker etc. In fact, anywhere needing to clean instruments, tools or components, often prior to being placed in an autoclave for sterilising. Another popular application is the ultrasonic cleaning of carburettors (car and motorcycle) - A GUIDE TO CLEANING MOTORBIKE CARBURETTORS.

Size matters. When deciding which ultrasonic cleaner to buy, the first consideration has to be the size of tank. It's not the volume that's important, but the internal dimensions. The question to ask yourself is whether the item you want to clean will fit inside the tank and the only way to be absolutely sure is to measure it. Also take into consideration that if you want to use a steel basket in the machine (and it is advisable to do so) it can reduce the workable size by up to 8mm all round. If you need to clean dental instruments, check the length of the largest item.

Which model do I buy? In this professional category there are, with a couple of exceptions, three versions for most sizes of ultrasonic cleaner. In summary, the more money you pay, the greater control you have over the cleaning process. The manual (dial adjustment) machines give limited control. The digital range gives full control over all aspects of the cleaning operation. Finally, the top of the range degassing models give a deeper clean with the ability to reduce the power for delicate items. At the heart of any ultrasonic cleaner is a transducer. This is the component that produces the ultrasonic cleaning waves. 

1) Manual adjustment. These basic models have a simple knob or dial to set the cleaning time (0-20 minutes) and temperature (20 - 80 degrees C). There is no LED display. 

2. Digital adjustment. These ultrasonic models have a button to set the cleaning time (0 - 99 minutes) and temperature (0 - 80 degrees C) with an LED displays. The cleaning can be stopped mid-cycle and the temperature displays both the target and actual water temperature in the tank. In a workplace environment and working with hot water, there might be a health and safety implication that requires the tank temperature to be visible to prevent scalding by an employee, for example in a dental practice or garage.

3) Digital adjustment with degassing. As above but additionally these ultrasonic cleaners have the technical function of a de-gassing mode which after a change a cleaning solution, quickly removes air from the liquid that in turn, makes the cleaning process more effective. This is especially useful when cleaning carburettors. Additionally, the cleaning power can be increased or reduced depending on the items being cleaned which means that delicate products can be cleaned gently.

Why use a basket? Stainless Steel baskets are included free with all of our professional models.

• A steel mesh basket helps minimise ultrasonic blind spots during the cleaning process.
• Keeps the item off the tank base giving better circulation of the ultrasonic waves.
• Convenient handles which overhang the bath lip.
• Safe and easy removal of the object being cleaned i.e. dental instruments.
• Safe removal of item from being submerged in hot water / ultrasonic cleaning fluids.
