Overview
The Titan SUC-10 Ultrasonic Cleaner is a compact, general-purpose benchtop cleaning system engineered for consistent and reliable removal of particulate contaminants, organic residues, and loosely adhered films from laboratoryware, precision components, and small instrumentation parts. It operates on the principle of ultrasonic cavitation—where high-frequency mechanical vibrations (37 kHz) generate microscopic implosive bubbles in an aqueous or compatible solvent bath. Upon collapse, these bubbles release localized energy sufficient to dislodge surface-bound debris without mechanical abrasion or thermal degradation. Designed for routine use in QC labs, R&D facilities, and maintenance workshops, the SUC-10 delivers reproducible cleaning performance across standardized sample loads within its 10-liter stainless steel tank.
Key Features
- Stainless steel tank (304 grade) with corrosion-resistant construction and integrated drain/fill ports for efficient bath management and solvent replacement.
- Fixed-frequency transducer array operating at 37 kHz—optimized for balanced penetration depth and cavitation intensity in mid-volume tanks.
- 180 W nominal ultrasonic power output, calibrated to ensure uniform energy distribution across the cleaning chamber under standard load conditions.
- Digital timer with adjustable range from 1 to 99 minutes, enabling precise control over exposure duration without manual intervention.
- Non-programmable operation mode: fixed power and non-heated bath—suited for applications where thermal stability or low-temperature processing is required.
- Compact footprint (approx. 300 × 240 × 320 mm) ideal for shared lab benches or mobile cart integration.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The SUC-10 accommodates standard laboratory glassware (e.g., beakers, flasks, pipettes), metal tools (tweezers, forceps, probes), ceramic substrates, and polymer-based components—provided they are chemically inert to water or mild alkaline/citric cleaning solutions. It is not intended for sterilization or microbiological decontamination; users requiring validated bioburden reduction must integrate complementary thermal or chemical disinfection steps post-cleaning. While the unit itself does not carry CE, UL, or FDA clearance as a medical device, its design conforms to IEC 61000-6-3 (EMC emissions) and IEC 61000-6-2 (immunity) standards for laboratory environments. Routine operation aligns with ISO 15883-1 guidelines for cleaning process validation when used within documented SOPs.
Software & Data Management
The SUC-10 features a dedicated microcontroller-based interface with no embedded software stack, cloud connectivity, or data logging capability. All operational parameters—including timer setting and power activation—are controlled via tactile push-button inputs with LED status feedback. This architecture ensures deterministic behavior, eliminates firmware update dependencies, and supports long-term reliability in regulated settings where change control and audit trail requirements apply. For laboratories subject to GLP or GMP compliance, the absence of electronic records necessitates manual entry of cleaning cycle parameters into batch records or logbooks per established procedural documentation.
Applications
- Routine cleaning of volumetric glassware prior to calibration or analytical use.
- Preparation of metal and ceramic substrates for coating adhesion testing or surface analysis (e.g., SEM, XPS).
- Removal of flux residues from printed circuit board assemblies during prototyping.
- Decontamination of reusable surgical instruments in veterinary or teaching labs (as a preliminary step before autoclaving).
- Supporting ASTM D2240 (Shore hardness) sample preparation by eliminating mold-release agents from elastomer test specimens.
- Maintenance of optical components such as lenses and mirrors where solvent immersion must avoid thermal distortion.
FAQ
Is the SUC-10 suitable for cleaning delicate optics or MEMS devices?
Yes—when operated with low-surface-tension solvents (e.g., isopropyl alcohol) and short cycle durations (≤5 min), it provides gentle yet effective particle removal without mechanical contact.
Can temperature control be added via external accessories?
No—the unit lacks internal heating elements or temperature sensors; integration with external recirculating chillers or heated baths requires custom mounting and independent safety interlocks.
What is the expected service life of the transducers under continuous daily use?
Based on accelerated lifetime testing at rated power, transducer modules maintain ≥90% nominal output efficiency for ≥5,000 operating hours when used with deionized water and proper maintenance.
Does the drain/fill port configuration support closed-loop solvent recycling systems?
Yes—the standard 1/2″ NPT threaded ports allow connection to filtration or distillation units using compatible tubing and quick-connect fittings.
Are replacement tanks or transducer assemblies available through Titan’s authorized distribution network?
Yes—original equipment manufacturer (OEM) spare parts, including full tank assemblies and matched transducer sets, are stocked for global dispatch with traceable serial-number documentation.
