Ultrasonic Cleaner Control Types

With a few exceptions, most sizes of ultrasonic cleaner are available with a choice of control systems. The more advanced the control system, the greater the control you have over the cleaning process. The more you pay, the greater control you have over the cleaning process. The manual (dial adjustment) machines give limited control. The digital range gives you full control over the cleaning operation and has degassing as standard. The top-of-the-range models have degassing and a sweep function. These models give a deeper clean and have the ability to reduce the power for delicate items.

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

Digital with degassing. These ultrasonic models have a push button to set the cleaning time (0 - 99 minutes) and temperature (0 - 80 degrees centigrade) with an LED display. The cleaning process can be stopped mid-cycle and the LED display shows both the target temperature and actual water in the tank. Degassing is standard on our digital range. This cycle quickly removes air from the liquid after a change of cleaning fluid, which in turn, makes the cleaning process more effective. This is especially useful when cleaning carburettors. 

Digital | degassing | sweep | touch screen. The sweep function automatically alternates the ultrasonic cleaning frequency between 40Khz and 33Khz. This means the item to be cleaned is sprayed with ultrasonic waves at two different frequencies, dislodging dirt or other matter that otherwise might not be removed. This is ideal for cleaning PCB's. Additionally, the cleaning power can be reduced by 50% for delicate items. The functions are actuated via a touch screen panel.
