DATA AND SPECIFICATIONS

ULTRASONIC CLEANER MODEL FXP16M

CONSTRUCTION:

All exterior surfaces are 3mm PVC
The ultrasonic chamber is pressed from 304 stainless steel and is 1mm in thickness.
All integral plumbing is stainless steel.
Basket is fabricated from stainless steel mesh and rod.
Sonics energy is provided to the chamber by piezoelectric transducers bonded to the
tank bottom with a frequency of 40kHz.
Maximum operating temperature should not exceed 60 degrees Celsius so as to
maintain reliability and maximise efficiency.
Minimum operating depth should not be less than 50mm.
Power is supplied by solid-state circuitry, which is air-cooled.

CONTROLS:

A 30-minute mechanical timer control is located at the bottom front of the unit and
should be set as per operating instructions.
The mains plug/socket is located at the side of the unit.
The unit should always be positioned to allow for plenty of circulation.
Care should always be taken to avoid excessive spillage of solution when draining
fluid.

GENERAL CLEANING:

The turnover of solution must be determined by the user to satisfy acceptable cleaning
results of the finished article.
The more solution is contaminated the longer the cleaning process.
If the contamination is heavy and difficult to remove a pre rinse in a heated bath could
be sufficient enough to soften and loosen unwanted debris in preparation for the
ultrasonic cleaning.
At the other end of the scale after the items have been removed it is essential that a
final wash be performed to remove any residue that remains on the cleaned parts.
