Single Stand Alone or Bench-Top Ultrasonic Aqueous Cleaning Tank

Key Features and Specifications:

The Layton Single Bench-Top Ultrasonic Aqueous Cleaning Tank is a premium industrial-grade cleaning solution designed for effective and efficient component cleaning using aqueous detergents.

Built to deliver high performance and durability, this unit is engineered with precision and manufactured to the highest standards in Staffordshire, United Kingdom.

It is ideal for use across a wide range of industries including healthcare, manufacturing, aerospace, and automotive, offering versatility, reliability, and exceptional cleaning power.

Aqueous Compatibility:

This tank is designed specifically for use with all types of aqueous detergents, allowing flexibility depending on the cleaning task. It ensures safe and effective removal of contaminants such as oils, greases, carbon deposits, and particulates from various components.

Superior Build Quality:

Manufactured in Staffordshire, every tank features an all stainless-steel construction, fully welded design offering exceptional resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear. Traceability certification is available upon request, ensuring full quality assurance and compliance with regulatory standards.

A properly fabricated tank provides superior strength and longevity compared to deep-drawn alternatives. While deep-drawn tanks are often cheaper, they lack the structural integrity and durability of fabricated tanks, making them less suitable for demanding or long-term industrial applications. Fabricated construction ensures reliable, lasting performance under continuous use.

Enhanced Longevity Through Advanced Finishing:

To maximize the unit’s operational lifespan, all tanks undergo a rigorous finishing process. This includes pickling, passivation, and electro-polishing — procedures that remove impurities, enhance corrosion resistance, and provide a smooth, clean surface.

Efficient Heating System:

The tank is equipped with direct contact tube heaters that provide rapid and consistent heating. This system not only ensures energy efficiency but also contributes to the heater’s long-term durability. The temperature is thermostatically controlled for precise and safe operation.

Rod-type direct contact heaters provide several advantages over silicone pad heaters, especially for larger tanks. They offer greater thermal efficiency by directly transferring heat to the fluid, minimizing energy loss. This can lead to substantial energy savings over time. Additionally, rod heaters are easier to replace or service without disturbing the tank or its insulation, reducing maintenance downtime and costs.

In contrast, silicone pad heaters are often adhered to the tank surface, making replacement more labour-intensive. For large-scale applications, the improved efficiency and ease of maintenance of rod-type heaters make them a more practical and cost-effective solution.

Advanced Ultrasonic Technology:

The design features a bolt-in, removable transducer plate for easy maintenance and allows for quick and easy replacement in the event of a failure. This modular approach significantly reduces downtime and maintenance costs, as individual components can be swapped without replacing the entire tank.

In contrast, many lower-cost systems use base-bonded ultrasonic transducers, which are permanently fixed to the tank base. If these fail, the entire tank must often be scrapped and replaced, leading to increased operational disruption and higher long-term costs. The removable immersibles' in this system offer a more sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective solution for demanding industrial cleaning applications. These transducers use advanced multi-frequency and sweep frequency technology to deliver consistent cavitation across the entire tank.

This ensures uniform cleaning, effectively removing contaminants from complex surfaces and blind holes, enhancing overall cleaning performance and reliability in demanding industrial applications.

Separate Ultrasonic Generator:

A dedicated ultrasonic generator enhances performance and reliability, allowing for easy upgrades or replacements if needed. This modular design supports continuous operation under industrial conditions.

Robust and Practical Design:

Engineered to meet industrial standards, the unit is continuously rated for heavy-duty usage. An insulated frame enhances energy efficiency by retaining heat within the tank, reducing power consumption during operation. It also ensures safe surface temperatures, minimizing the risk of accidental burns and creating a safer working environment.

This design feature supports both cost savings and user protection in daily use.

Convenient Accessories and Installation Options:

Each unit comes complete with a fitted basket and lid, allowing for safe handling of parts and reducing contamination. The cleaning tank can be used as a tabletop unit or inset into a bench for a seamless workspace integration. It operates from a standard mains voltage,
making installation and relocation straightforward and cost-effective.

Certified for Compliance:

The unit is fully UKCE and CA certified, affirming its safety, quality, and suitability for use within both the UK and Worldwide markets.

This bench-top ultrasonic cleaning tank represents the pinnacle of design and functionality in precision cleaning systems. Whether integrated into a manufacturing process or used in a lab or workshop, it delivers consistent, reliable results with low maintenance and high durability.
