Ultrasonic Cleaner | Carburettor

Any of the professional ultrasonic carburettor cleaner range (sometimes called an ultrasonic bath or tank) has been designed for working in a commercial workshop environment and are suitable for everyday use. The most common tank sizes for carburettor cleaning are from 3 litre (small single carbs) up to 27 litre (bank of 4 or 6 carbs) and there is also special elongated model for specifically for cleaning banks of motorcycle carbs off multi-cylinder engines.  All the ultrasonic cleaning tanks (baths) are made from stainless steel and built to operate quietly in the workplace. Whether your carb is for a motorbike or car, they are suitable for all day, everyday use and are made to last. Our own brand Best Ultrasonic 22 & 27 Ltr tanks now have fast 1000w heaters fitted.

What is the best size of tank for a carburettor. This is the most common question we get asked. There is no such thing as a standard size because there are 1000's of variations out there. When considering which ultrasonic cleaner to buy, the primary consideration is the size of tank. It's not the volume that's important, but the internal dimensions. The question to consider is whether the carburettor you want to clean will fit inside the tank. And the only real way to be certain is to measure it. Also take into consideration that if you want to use a steel basket in the machine (and most people do), it can reduce the workable size by up to 8mm all round. The specification for each ultrasonic cleaner shows all the important dimensions. Tip: Measure twice, purchase once.                                

At the heart of any ultrasonic cleaner is a transducer. This is the component that produces the ultrasonic cleaning waves. The more transducers fitted to an ultrasonic bath, the better the cleaning will be. If you want to clean a bank of 4 carburettors off a motorbike but don't want to separate them, the 22 litre model will be the best size.

Which model do I buy? There are three versions for most sizes of ultrasonic cleaner. In summary, the more money you pay, the greater control you have over the cleaning process.

1) Manual adjustment. The analogue adjustment ultrasonic carburettor cleaner has a simple knob / dial to set the cleaning time (0-20 minutes) and another for the temperature adjustment (20 - 80 degrees C). There is no LED display.

2) Digital with degassing mode. These tanks have a button to set the cleaning time (0-99 minutes) and temperature (0 - 80 degrees C) with an LED display. The display shows both the target and actual water temperature. 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 to an employee. Degassing quickly removes air trapped in the cleaning fluid making the whole process more effective. This is especially useful when cleaning a carburettor.

3) Digital with degassing and sweep. As the above description but additionally with these ultrasonic cleaners, the  power can be increased or reduced for delicate products such as jewellery. They also have touch screen control.

Confused about which ultrasonic carburettor cleaner you need?

Why use a basket? Stainless Steel baskets are included with all of the cleaners shown below. 

• A wire basket reduces ultrasonic blind spots during the carb cleaning process.
• Keeps the carburettor off the base of the tank giving better circulation.
• Convenient handles which overhang the bath lip (not all sizes).
• Safe and easy removal of the carburettor being cleaned.
• How to clean small carburettor parts in an ultrasonic cleaner (jets, screws, slides, etc).
