Transducerized Cleaning Tanks
and Immersible Transducers
Branson manufactures five standard
size transducerized 25 and 40kHz tanks
that range from a 2.5 to a 50 gallon
capacity (10 to 190 liters). All have
drains and fills.
Type 316L bright-annealed stainless
steel construction throughout permits
the use of alkaline, mildly acidic, or
neutral aqueous solutions. Branson
tanks are available with or without
integral heaters. Heated models are
available to maintain solution
temperatures up to 170oF (76oC). All
models are available with a stainless
steel parts basket and/or tank cover.
STANDARD FEATURES
• Bottom-mounted positive drain
connection.
• Fully shielded internal components.
OPTIONS
• Stainless steel basket for parts
handling.
• Stainless steel tank cover.
• Thermostatically-controlled heat.
NUMBERING SYSTEM
Each Branson transducerized tank has a
model number which contains important information to guide the selection
of a properly rated comparison power
supply. When making a selection, note
the frequency.
For example: CH1012-40-12
This model number, stamped on the
tank nameplate, indicates whether
the tank has a heater (H = heated),
the length of the tank in inches, left
to right (10”), the width of the tank
in inches, front to back (12”), the
operating frequency (40kHz), and
the number of attached piezoelectric
transducer elements (12).
POWER SUPPLY SELECTION
To select the correct power supply
for your transducerized tank, add the
total number of transducer elements
involved by using the information
from the model number as explained.
Then, select a power supply whose last
two numbers exactly match the number of transducer elements by referring

IMMERSIBLE TRANSDUCERS
Branson immersible ultrasonic transducers can be placed wherever you
need them in your existing cleaning
tanks. These units give you the complete freedom to design specialized
cleaning setups or to upgrade soak
tanks with ultrasonics.
Each immersible transducer is fabricated from 316L bright annealed
stainless steel with welded seams and
stainless steel fittings. These hermetically sealed modular components are
available in standard sizes starting at
6” x 18” - all 3.25” deep. Other sizes
can be custom-built for special applications. Chrome plating is available
to reduce cavitation erosion.
