Message: Does the B-200 Cleaner have a heater. Maybe I just
overlooked this information, but I couldn't find it.
Thanks,
Mike H
No Mike,
You didn't overlook it. Most personal ultrasonic cleaners do not have heat, as it would drive the price above what most people want to pay for a personal unit.
Also, the combination of heat and sonics just could dis-assemble Grandma's heirloom pin or necklace.
Message: Dear Sirs,
I just came to know of the Ultrasonic
cleaning methods recently.
What I am interested in knowing is that
whether this can be used effectively in
cleaning nuts, bolts ( from 20 mm to
130mm ) up to 350 mm long etc.
My interest is to reduce manhours engaged
in the normal cleaning of these bolts / rust
during a Major overhaul of a Gas turbine.
Are there many users of these equipment
for the purpose I have stated above?
Can you please help me in this regard??
best regards
Mahesh
Dear Mahesh,
This is the most common type of Ultrasonic Cleaning application.
We can help with a wide range of machines and cleaning solutions.
The usual setup for something like this is a Crest 275HT or maybe a Branson B2510MTH
in combination with one of our metal cleaners. Either of there units is small enough
to not take up too much room in your shop, but large enough ( 3/4 gallon ) to
get some work done for you.
Dear Sally,
Message: I need to know exactly what the IC series
cleaners look like on the inside - i.e. is the
lxwxh all available for immersion of parts
and fixtures to be cleaned. I currently have
a Branson B600 which is not quite large
enough, and not really functional anymore.
Thanks - Mike
Dear Mike,
Lucky you. The IC Series manuals and literature are on our site for reference.
Just click the link above and go straight to the page to see them in your browser.
The IC Series Drawings and Specifications are close by.
All the info you need is right there. Remember that you have to leave room for the basket as well.
A good rule of thumb is to take about 2 inches off of each dimension for a tank of this size.
Hello Sally,
I am trying to find information about the risks of using
ultra-sound instruments in research. I would be grateful if you
have any information regarding safety-routines, like
ear-protection and so on.
sincerely
Jorgen
Dear Jorgen,
The risks are minimal, approaching non-existent. Ear protection is only needed for very large magneto-strictive systems. Other than keeping your hands out of the tank when the system is running, there are no precautions required.
Having said that, however, you still need to to take the measures you normally would based on the temperature of your solution, and the cleaning liquid used. Consult your cleaning liquid manufacturers information for guidance.
Message: I have a small home based business
making gourmet lollipops. I use individual
aluminum molds. They accumulate an oil
buildup that needs to be removed by either
steel wool or something similar. I have
heard that an ultrasonic cleaner would
eliminate the need to spend hours cleaning
molds. After reading through the material
on your website I am thinking about
purchasing a unit. The MC 3 cleaner
sounds as though it would be the right one
for my molds.
I am unsure which model would best meet
my needs.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,

Dear Linda,
You are correct about the MC-3. It won't hurt your aluminum parts, and it will hold the soils in suspension.
As far as the ultrasonic cleaning, you should simply choose the machine that best fits your parts.
Remember that you will lose an inch or so in each direction off of the tank measurements.
This is due to the "slop" between the basket and the tank.
I working for _____________ in
Drummondville (Quebec, Canada) and we
plan to buy an ultrasonic cleaner who can
clean plate from our heat-exchanger (size
21"x7"x6"). Can you send me a quotation
for the best model who can fit (with and
without an heater)?
Thank you!
HI -
Your best bet is the Crest 2800HT It has the tank size you need,
and I would not try this application without heat. I doubt you will get adequate results.
Also, I would spend some time identifying the proper cleaning solution. It will do you no good to
buy an ultrasonic machine if you have not matched the soil to the cleaning chemistry.
Dear Sally,
I am in need of an ultrasonic cleaner for
surgical instruments, especially liposuction
canullas. My budget is limited. Do you sell
reconditioned or used models? If not, do
you know a resource?
I appreciate your time and attention to this
matter.
Rosanne
Hi Rosanne,
First of all, we do sell used and demo ultrasonic machines. You can see them on our Current Specials Page.
As far as the canullas go, you can take a look at our B300 ultrasonic cleaner for an inexpensive solution,
or if you really want to go first class, you make like the Crest 690HT. Either machine will give oyu good cleaning,
but the Crest unit adds heat, and a lot more capacity.
Quick and dirty specs:
B300 - Comes with basket, cover and UPS ground shipping.
Crest 690HT - Includes cover and UPS ground shipping
