Typical Specifications

Typical tank capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 1 litre for benchtop units up to 30 litres or more for larger industrial models.

Ultrasonic frequency

Units of this type typically operate at frequencies between 20 kHz and 80 kHz, with higher frequencies offering finer cleaning.

Power supply

Commonly requires a standard single-phase 230V, 50Hz electrical supply in the UK, with power consumption varying based on tank size and wattage.

Heating capability

Many ultrasonic cleaners include an integrated heater, typically adjustable up to 80°C, to enhance cleaning efficiency.

Timer function

Units often feature a digital or analogue timer, allowing for cleaning cycles typically ranging from 1 to 99 minutes.

Tank material

The cleaning tank is almost exclusively constructed from stainless steel for durability and chemical resistance.
