2.2 Safety instructions for the use of the unit

This ultrasonic cleaning system has been designed for the ultrasonic treatment of items and

liquids only.

It is not intended for the use in areas with potentially explosive atmosphere.

Operation of the unit by authorized and instructed staff only. Observe the instructions given in

the manual.

Check the unit and its mains cable for transport damages. Do not operate the unit in case of

visible damages!

For safety reasons, the present unit must be connected to a correctly grounded socket only.

The technical details indicated on the nameplate must correspond with the available mains

connection details, in particular those of the mains voltage and current connected value.

Place the unit on a dry surface. The work area must be sufficiently ventilated to allow any

vapours arising from the cleaning liquid to be carried off. Keep work surface, housing and

operating elements dry.

For purposes of filling, maintenance and care of the unit, in case of suspected humidity inside

the unit or in case of malfunctions and after operation pull the mains plug.

The unit must be opened by authorised specialised personnel only.

The unit must be operated with aqueous cleaning liquids only. Risk of fire and explosion! Do not

treat any flammable liquids with ultrasound or high temperature directly in the cleaning or rinsing

tank.

Risk of burning and scalding! Depending on the operational period of the unit, unit surfaces,

cleaning or rinsing liquid, basket and cleaning items can heat up considerably.

During operation with high temperatures inside the cleaning, rinsing or drying tanks, open the

unit with care: hot steam can emerge when the cover is lifted.

Ultrasonic units can produce annoying sounds.

Wear personal ear protection devices when working close to an ultrasonic unit which is

operated without cover.

The use of personal ear protection devices is particularly recommended for operating the unit at

28 kHz without cover.

Do not reach inside the cleaning liquid or touch sound-carrying parts (tank, basket, cleaning

items, etc.) during operation.

3 Facts of interests about Ultrasonic Cleaning

3.1 Functioning

Today, cleaning by ultrasound is the most modern fine cleaning method.

The electric high-frequency energy created by an ultrasonic generator is transformed into

mechanical energy by piezo-electrical transducer systems and is then transmitted into the bath.

This process creates millions of tiny vacuum bubbles which implode due to the variations of

pressure caused by the ultrasonic activity. Highly energetic liquid jets are created. These jets

remove dirt particles from surfaces and even from the smallest grooves and bores.

Basically, the cleaning result depends on four factors:

Ultrasonic energy is probably the most important mechanical factor

in the cleaning process. This energy must be transmitted through a

liquid medium to the surfaces which are to be cleaned.

The present Sonoswiss unit is fitted with the innovative sweep

function device: electronic oscillation of the sound field (sweep

function) prevents the formation of zones of low performance in the

ultrasonic bath.

For saponification and removal of the dirt particles a suitable

cleaning agent is required. We have a large range of cleaning

media on offer.

The effect of the cleaning medium is improved by the optimised

temperature of the cleaning liquid.

The cleaning period depends on the degree and the kind of

contamination and on the correct selection of ultrasonic energy,

cleaning agent and temperature.

5 Ultrasonic cleaning process

Please observe the following instructions before starting the ultrasonic

cleaning process.

Risk of scalding by hot surfaces and cleaning liquid!

Ultrasonic energy is physically transformed into heat.

The unit and the cleaning liquid in the tank heat up during

ultrasonic operation even with the heating switched off.

During permanent operation with cover temperatures

exceeding 60°C can be reached.

During permanent operation with cover and heating

temperatures exceeding 80°C can be reached.

Do not reach inside the bath.

If necessary touch unit and basket with protecting gloves!

Ultrasonic units can produce annoying sounds.

Wear personal ear protection devices when working close to

an ultrasonic unit which is operated without cover.

Sensitive surfaces may be adversely affected by ultrasound

during prolonged periods of ultrasonic treatment, in particular

at lower ultrasonic frequencies.

Ensure that sensitive surfaces are exposed to ultrasonic

activity for a suitable period only.

If in doubt check the cleaning progress regularly and observe

the state of the surface material.

Ultrasonic energy is physically transformed into heat.

The unit and the cleaning medium in the tank heat up during

ultrasonic operation even with the heating switched off.

During permanent operation with cover temperatures exceeding

60°C can be reached.

For the cleaning of temperature-sensitive items please take into

consideration the heating-up of the cleaning medium.

The operator is responsible for the inspection of the cleaning result

and for the continuous inspection of the cleaning items during ultrasonic

treatment to prevent damages from the cleaning items.

Ultrasonic cleaning process

BA_Modulrange_SW60/100/200_Sonoswiss_E_06.2012

5.2 Rinsing process SW 60 / 150 / 240 Rinser

By inserting the parts into the rinsing tank, the chemical residues will be rinsed. Thus, an

optimal cleaning result is guaranteed. The duration of the rinsing operation depends on the

amount and the mass of chemical residues on or in the parts and on the temperature of the

water medium.

5.3 Drying process SW 60 / 150 / 240 Dryer

By inserting the parts into the drying tank, the still adhering moisture at the parts after cleaning

resp. rinsing will be evaporated by a stream of hot air.

The duration of the drying process is determined by the amount of moisture on or in the parts

and their mass and on the temperature of the airflow.

The moist warm air will be dissipated from the dryer tank, so that dry air will re-flow into the

dryer tank.

5.4 Placement of the items to be cleaned

Caution! Ultrasonic units are intended for the treatment of liquids and items immersed therein.

Do not treat living beings or plants in an ultrasonic unit, unless there is a substantial reason to

do so!

Do not reach inside the tank during ultrasonic operation!

Cell walls may be damaged by prolonged exposure to

ultrasonic activity; this applies particularly to the cells of the

skeleton and joints.

Do not place any cleaning items directly onto the floor of the

ultrasonic tank as this may cause damage to the ultrasonic

cleaning unit and/or of the cleaning items.

Place the cleaning items in the stainless-steel cleaning basket or

on the mesh (accessory).

NOTE

No cleaning items on

the bottom of the

tank

Use cleaning basket
