Shengyan SCQ-140630 Industrial Ultrasonic Cleaner

Overview

The Shengyan SCQ-140630 Industrial Ultrasonic Cleaner is a high-capacity, benchtop-to-floor-standing ultrasonic cleaning system engineered for demanding laboratory, quality control, and light industrial applications requiring consistent, non-destructive removal of particulate contaminants, oils, flux residues, and biological films from complex geometries. Operating on the principle of cavitation—where high-frequency acoustic energy (40 kHz) induces rapid formation and collapse of microscopic vacuum bubbles in the cleaning medium—the unit delivers uniform energy distribution across its large-volume tank (214.5 L). This ensures reproducible cleaning efficacy without mechanical abrasion or thermal degradation of sensitive substrates. Designed for continuous operation in regulated environments, the SCQ-140630 integrates robust stainless-steel construction (SUS304, 2.0 mm wall thickness), integrated heating, and precise digital timing control—making it suitable for pre-analytical sample preparation, instrument component decontamination, and routine maintenance of precision tools and optical components.

Key Features

• Large-capacity ultrasonic tank with internal dimensions of 650 × 550 × 600 mm (L × W × H), supporting oversized parts, multiple racks, or batch processing of labware.
• High-power transduction system comprising 90 piezoelectric transducers mounted on the tank bottom and side walls, ensuring homogeneous ultrasonic field distribution and minimizing dead zones.
• Stainless steel tank fabricated from grade SUS304 austenitic stainless steel with 2.0 mm wall thickness—resistant to corrosion from aqueous and mild alkaline cleaning solutions commonly used in ISO/IEC 17025-compliant laboratories.
• Digital timer with adjustable range from 1 to 600 minutes (10 hours), enabling protocol-specific dwell times aligned with ASTM D2602 (Standard Test Method for Ultrasonic Cleaning of Metals) and internal SOPs.
• Integrated heating system (6000 W) maintains temperature stability between ambient and 80 °C, facilitating enhanced solubilization of organic soils and accelerating cleaning kinetics in accordance with USP guidelines for cleaning validation.
• Sound-dampening lid (750 × 850 × 10 mm) reduces operational noise to ≤65 dB(A) at 1 m distance, improving workplace ergonomics and meeting OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95 occupational noise exposure limits.
• Four heavy-duty swivel casters (Taiwan-made Desheng brand, 90 × 120 mm, 250 kg per caster) enable secure repositioning on level laboratory floors without disassembly.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The SCQ-140630 accommodates a broad spectrum of sample types—including glassware (volumetric flasks, cuvettes, pipette tips), metal components (stainless steel fixtures, surgical instruments), ceramic substrates, and polymer-based assemblies—provided they are compatible with aqueous or low-concentration detergent solutions. Its open-tank architecture allows immersion of irregularly shaped objects and supports use with auxiliary fixtures such as beaker holders and wire baskets. The unit complies with general electrical safety requirements per IEC 61010-1:2010 (Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use) and incorporates grounding continuity, over-temperature cutoff, and dry-run protection. While not certified to UL or CE for standalone regulatory submission, its design aligns with foundational elements of GLP and GMP cleaning validation protocols—particularly in conjunction with documented cleaning cycles, solution concentration monitoring, and post-cleaning residue testing per ISO 15883-5.

Software & Data Management

The SCQ-140630 operates via an embedded microcontroller interface with LED display and tactile membrane keypad—designed for reliability and minimal firmware dependency in controlled environments. It does not include network connectivity, remote software control, or electronic audit trail functionality. All operational parameters (time, temperature setpoint) are manually entered and retained only during active session; no data logging, user authentication, or 21 CFR Part 11-compliant electronic records are supported. For laboratories requiring traceable cleaning documentation, integration with external process recorders or manual logbook entries—validated per internal SOPs—is recommended.

Applications

• Pre-analytical cleaning of HPLC vials, GC autosampler trays, and spectrophotometer cells to eliminate carryover and baseline interference.
• Removal of solder paste residues and rosin flux from PCB assemblies prior to AOI inspection or functional testing.
• Decontamination of reusable laboratory glassware and stainless-steel tools in academic, pharmaceutical, and contract research settings.
• Surface preparation of metallic calibration standards and reference materials before surface characterization (e.g., SEM, XRF).
• Routine maintenance of optical components—including lenses, mirrors, and fiber-optic connectors—where solvent-based wiping poses risk of micro-scratching.

FAQ

Is the ultrasonic frequency adjustable?
No. The unit operates exclusively at a fixed frequency of 40 kHz, optimized for general-purpose cleaning of particulates and organic films.
Can this unit be used with flammable solvents?
No. The SCQ-140630 is designed for aqueous or water-miscible cleaning solutions only. Flammable solvents pose fire and explosion hazards and are incompatible with its heating and transducer systems.
Does the unit support automatic fill or drain functions?
No. Water inlet and outlet are equipped with manual ball valves; filling and draining require operator intervention.
What is the maximum load weight the tank can accommodate without compromising performance?
While the casters support up to 250 kg each, the tank’s structural integrity and ultrasonic coupling efficiency are maintained for submerged loads ≤120 kg, assuming even distribution and full submersion within the working volume.
Is the stainless steel mesh rack included with the unit?
Yes. A standard SUS304 mesh basket is supplied as standard equipment, sized to fit within the tank’s footprint and compatible with common labware configurations.
