Why Use a Flammable Solvent Ultrasonic Cleaner?

Using an ultrasonic cleaner is beneficial for many reasons including giving an extremely thorough clean in a very short period of time. Ultrasonic waves create enough force to remove stubborn contaminants from an object's surface in a gentle yet effective process.

While water-based cleaners are popular for ultrasonic cleaning, it’s often desirable to use acetone or isopropyl alcohol (IPA) due to their degreasing properties and the fact they evaporate quickly. But these flammable solvents create a hazard when used with a standard ultrasonic cleaner. That’s where a flammable solvent ultrasonic cleaner comes in.

Also called an explosion proof ultrasonic cleaner or IPA ultrasonic cleaner, this specialized unit is safe to use with flammable materials, including ethanol, IPA, acetone, hexane, cyclohexane, and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK).

Flammable Solvent Safe Ultrasonic console system vs a benchtop system?

A console system is a large, portable, self-contained industrial ultrasonic tank designed to handle large loads. These exploshion proof systems are mounted on heavy-duty castors, making them easy to move between locations.

A benchtop is a smaller system made to fit on a counter top. They can have either an external or an enclosed generator, depending on your needs.

What are the advantages to a explosion proof ultrasonic cleaner?

Our flammable solvent safe system offers the reliablility of an Ultrasonic Power Corporation cleaner that has been upgraded to meet the specifications to keep you safe. They are built to handle industrial environments using heavy-duty stainless steel and include UPC’s patented generators and transducers. They are the most powerful and reliable systems with the best warranty available. And they are in stock ready to configure for fast turnaround.

What is Sonic Touch®II?

Sonic Touch II is a multifunctional digital panel for controlling and viewing system functions like time, temperature, 7-day heat time, pump and filter, ultrasonic intensity, low liquid level and the SOVI® diagnostic system. SONIC TOUCH®II also adds “Open Technologies” which includes functions like text messaging and e-mail. This provides the unique ability to constantly monitor the system and send alerts to a supervisor or even the manufacturer (if desired) for scheduled maintenance or troubleshooting.
