- What can a 15 L ultrasonic cleaner handle that a smaller one cannot?
- The larger tank takes batches of parts at once and items too long for a 2 to 6 L unit, such as carburetor bodies, long tools and multiple jewelry pieces. It also leaves more room around parts so they are not crowded against the tank walls.
- Is 40 kHz strong enough for greasy engine parts?
- 40 kHz produces gentler cavitation than lower frequencies, so it lifts light oils, polishing compound and dirt well but struggles with baked-on carbon and heavy grease. Pre-soaking or a degreaser in the bath helps on tough parts.
- Does the heater work while the ultrasonics run?
- The heater warms the solution and the ultrasonic transducer runs on its own circuit, so both can operate together. Warm solution generally cleans faster than cold, especially on oils and waxes.
- What solution should I use in it?
- Use a water-based ultrasonic cleaning concentrate matched to the soil, diluted as the maker directs, or plain water with a small amount of detergent for light jobs. Avoid flammable solvents in an open heated tank.
- How do I empty and clean the tank?
- The unit is emptied by tipping or bailing out the solution, since no drain valve is listed. Wipe the stainless tank dry after use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
