Shengyan A-Series Ultrasonic Cleaner, Digital Control Model

Overview

The Shengyan A-Series Ultrasonic Cleaner is a digitally controlled, general-purpose laboratory cleaning system engineered for consistent cavitation-based particle removal from precision components, glassware, surgical instruments, and analytical hardware. Operating on the principle of high-frequency acoustic energy transmission through liquid media, the unit generates microscopic cavitation bubbles that implode near solid surfaces—producing localized shockwaves and microstreaming effects capable of dislodging sub-micron contaminants without mechanical abrasion. Designed for routine use in QC labs, research facilities, and maintenance workshops, this series supports frequency selection across four standard bands (28, 40, 60, and 80 kHz), enabling optimization for diverse substrate geometries and soil types—including particulate residues, organic films, and dried electrolytes.

Key Features

• Digital timer with precise 1–600 minute programmable range, supporting repeatable cycle execution and unattended operation.
• Integrated sound-dampening lid to reduce ambient noise levels during extended ultrasonic exposure—critical for shared laboratory environments.
• Stainless steel tank construction (304 grade) with uniform transducer distribution across the tank bottom for consistent energy coupling and minimal standing-wave interference.
• Manual drain valve positioned at the lowest point of the tank for complete fluid evacuation between cycles—compatible with deionized water, aqueous detergents, and low-toxicity solvents.
• Removable stainless steel mesh basket included as standard equipment to protect delicate samples and facilitate handling of multiple parts simultaneously.
• Frequency-selectable operation allows users to match resonant response to sample material density and contaminant adhesion strength—e.g., 40 kHz for general labware cleaning; 80 kHz for fine optics or MEMS devices.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The A-Series accommodates a wide range of sample formats—from microcentrifuge tubes and pipette tips to large-volume reactor vessels and industrial tooling fixtures—within tank capacities spanning 3 L to 200 L. All models comply with IEC 61000-6-3 (EMC emission standards) and meet basic electrical safety requirements per GB 4793.1 (Chinese national standard equivalent to IEC 61010-1). While not certified for ISO 13485 or FDA 21 CFR Part 11 out-of-the-box, the digital timer’s fixed-cycle functionality supports GLP-aligned documentation when integrated into validated cleaning SOPs. No heating or power modulation is provided; therefore, thermal degradation risks associated with temperature-sensitive polymers or biological coatings are eliminated.

Software & Data Management

This is a standalone hardware platform with no embedded software, network interface, or data logging capability. The control interface consists solely of a digital LED timer and physical frequency selector switch—ensuring operational simplicity, long-term reliability, and immunity to firmware vulnerabilities or OS compatibility constraints. All operating parameters are manually set and retained only for the duration of the active cycle. For laboratories requiring audit trails or electronic records, external time-stamped video monitoring or PLC-integrated cycle logging may be implemented at the facility level. No proprietary drivers, cloud services, or subscription dependencies are required for commissioning or daily use.

Applications

• Routine cleaning of volumetric flasks, burettes, cuvettes, and HPLC sample vials prior to calibration or analysis.
• Preparation of electron microscopy grids and TEM specimen holders to remove hydrocarbon contamination.
• Decontamination of reusable surgical instruments in veterinary or academic teaching labs where autoclave access is limited.
• Removal of flux residues from printed circuit boards (PCBs) and soldered assemblies prior to conformal coating.
• Cleaning of filtration membranes, syringe filters, and chromatography columns to restore flow integrity and minimize carryover.
• Supporting ASTM D2247 (Standard Practice for Testing Water Resistance of Coatings) by preparing metal test panels free of polishing compounds or fingerprints.

FAQ

Is heating functionality available on any A-Series model?
No. None of the SCQ-A Series units include built-in heaters or temperature regulation circuits. External water baths or heated rinse stations must be used if thermal assistance is required.

Can ultrasonic power output be adjusted during operation?
No. Power is fixed per model and determined by transducer count and drive electronics design. Users select appropriate models based on required wattage (60–3000 W) and tank volume rather than dynamic scaling.

What solvent compatibility should be considered?
Aqueous solutions and low-volatility solvents (e.g., isopropanol, ethanol, terpenes) are compatible. Flammable, chlorinated, or highly corrosive solvents (e.g., acetone, methylene chloride, concentrated acids) are not recommended due to lack of explosion-proof housing or chemical-resistant gasketing.

Does the unit support continuous operation beyond 600 minutes?
No. The maximum timer setting is 600 minutes (10 hours). For longer processes, manual reset or external relay control is necessary.

Are CE or UL certifications provided?
Units are manufactured to meet GB standards and export-ready EMC specifications. CE marking is not affixed; UL listing is not applicable unless requested under custom OEM agreement with additional testing and documentation.
