What temperature should I set my ultrasonic cleaner?

What temperature should I set my ultrasonic cleaner?

between 130 and 180 degrees F.
Temperature Effects: Best Ultrasonic Performance is roughly 65% of the Boiling Point of the Fluid in Use. Temperature Above 65% of the Boiling Point will Decrease Scrubbing Force of the System, but will Improve Distribution of that Force. Most Ultrasonic Cleaners Utilize Temperatures between 130 and 180 degrees F.

What can you not put in an ultrasonic cleaner?

Ultrasonic cavitation actually works best in water between 130 and 170 degrees Fahrenheit. Match your cleaning solution to the soil on your parts.

Do all ultrasonic cleaners heat up?

We don’t mean results-wise (though ultrasonic cleaning is the best industrial cleaning technology available), we mean in terms of actual temperature. Most ultrasonic cleaners come with a heating system onboard and tank temperatures of 180F are seen in some applications.

What happens if you put your hand in an ultrasonic cleaner?

Safety. It is recommended to avoid using flammable cleaning solutions because ultrasonic cleaners increase temperature even when not equipped with a heater. When the unit is running, inserting your hand into the solution could cause burning due to the temperature; discomfort and skin irritation can also occur.
