Note: Overflow tanks are not heated. Not available for 12" x 12" x 10" tanks.

Ultrasonic Tanks

• Fabricated of 14 gauge, 316L 304 stainless steel to ensure compatibility with solvents
• Interior features coved corners for easy cleaning
• Water cooling jacket controls tank temperature, keeping solvents safely below flashpoint
• Heater includes overtemperature protection for safety
• Class I, Division II models available for operation with explosive materials
• Pricing includes installation in any Terra wet processing or solvent cleaning bench

These ultrasonic tanks meet key requirements for solvent and other cleaning operations: purity, consistency, and safety.

Ultrasonic cleaning: safe, effective and fast Ultrasonic excitation boosts the speed and effectiveness of the solvent cleaning process, thereby lowering overall cost.

A solid state electronic generator converts standard electrical current into electrical energy of a higher frequency. A transducer then converts this energy into sound waves, causing vacuum cavities (cavitation bubbles) in the liquid as alternative positive and negative pressure areas are produced. The pressure exerted by the imploding bubbles accomplishes a scrubbing action, resulting in rapid, efficient and gentle cleaning.

All models are fabricated of 14-gauge 316 electropolished 304 stainless steel for optimal purity and durability. Coved corners facilitate easy cleaning, and a 304 stainless steel drain port allows easy chemical disposal. The transducers are housed within a 304 stainless steel wrap with a #3 finish. A water cooling jacket controls tank temperatures to keep solvents below flashpoint. All ultrasonic tanks operate at 40 kHz.

A heating element provides up to 5000 Watts of heating power to enhance cleaning efficiency. An overtemperature protection safeguards heating operations.

Terra also offers Class I, Division II models which include a sealed transducer compartment with fittings for a nitrogen purge. (Note: Class I, Division II models are not available with heating capabilities.)

Optional Overflow Recirculation/Filtration Unit
Consists of a 10", 5-micron filter cartridge in a 304 stainless steel filter housing to filter the cleaning solution. Recirculation is provided by a stainless steel pump with Teflon seals. A four-sided spill weir collects the overflow and removes all floating contamination.

Other Ultrasonic Tanks Available!
The economical heated benchtop tanks pictured at right can be installed onto any Terra wet processing station.

These 40kHz models feature nominal tank capacities of 1.9, 5.6, or 11.2 gallons. Ultrasonic generators are separate from tanks, allow remote installation. Tanks are made of 316L heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel.
