Facts of interests about Ultrasonic Cleaning Safety instructions for the use of the unit This ultrasonic cleaning system has been designed for the ultrasonic treatment of items and liquids only. It is not intended for the use in areas with potentially explosive atmosphere. Operation of the unit by authorized and instructed staff only.
Facts of interests about Ultrasonic Cleaning Facts of interests about Ultrasonic Cleaning Functioning Today, cleaning by ultrasound is the most modern fine cleaning method. The electric high-frequency energy created by an ultrasonic generator is transformed into mechanical energy by piezo-electrical transducer systems and is then transmitted into the bath. This process creates millions of tiny vacuum bubbles which implode due to the variations of pressure caused by the ultrasonic activity.

Ultrasonic cleaning process Ultrasonic cleaning process Please observe the following instructions before starting the ultrasonic cleaning process. Risk of scalding by hot surfaces and cleaning liquid! Ultrasonic energy is physically transformed into heat. CAUTION The unit and the cleaning liquid in the tank heat up during ultrasonic operation even with the heating switched off.

Ultrasonic cleaning process Cleaning process SW 60 / 150 / 240 Ultrasonic cleaner Today, cleaning by ultrasound is the most modern fine cleaning method. The electric high-frequency energy created by an ultrasonic generator is transformed into mechanical energy by piezo-electrical transducer systems and is then transmitted into the bath.
Ultrasonic cleaning process Rinsing process SW 60 / 150 / 240 Rinser By inserting the parts into the rinsing tank, the chemical residues will be rinsed. Thus, an optimal cleaning result is guaranteed. The duration of the rinsing operation depends on the amount and the mass of chemical residues on or in the parts and on the temperature of the water medium.

Ultrasonic cleaning process Ultrasonic cleaning process Set the switch “on/off” on all devices at “on”. The LED of the Switch on the unit(s) switch flashes blue and each devices is ready to work. Ultrasonic operation To activate the ultrasound, set the desired cleaning time at the turning knob „time“.
Cleaning media Cleaning media When selecting the cleaning medium please ensure that the selected medium is suitable for use in an ultrasonic cleaning bath; unsuitable media may cause damage to the ultrasonic tank, or may even lead to injuries to the operating staff. Limitations of use of cleaners containing solvents Never use flammable liquids or solvents directly in an ultrasonic cleaning tank.

Cleaning media Limitations on aqueous cleaners Do not use aqueous cleaning media with pH values in the acid range (pH < 7) directly in the ultrasonic tank if fluoride (F¯), chloride (Cl¯) or bromide (Br¯) ions can be taken in by the removed dirt or through the cleaning chemical.
Maintenance Maintenance Maintenance and care Pull out the mains plug before carrying out any maintenance works! ATTENTION The present unit is maintenance-free. Electrical security Check the casing and the mains cable for damage regularly in order to prevent electrical accidents. Check the ultrasonic tank for leaks: Immediately separate the unit from the mains in case of visible Check the ultrasonic...
Maintenance Life cycle of the ultrasonic cleaner The ultrasonic tank and particularly the ultrasound transmitting surfaces are wear parts. The changes on the surfaces that occur after a certain operating period are visible first as grey areas and later on as material abrasions, the so-called cavitational erosion. In order to slow down the wear and tear as far as possible we make the tanks of a special highly cavitation-proof stainless steel.
Putting out of action and waste disposal Putting out of action and waste disposal The unit can be taken to metal and electronics recycling stations or returned to the manufacturer.
