Ultrasonic Cleaners for Professional Hygiene

Explore our range of professional ultrasonic cleaners designed for precise, efficient cleaning in beauty, dental, tattoo and clinical environments. High-frequency sound waves create microscopic bubbles that lift oils, residue and debris from the most intricate parts of your tools — helping you maintain excellent hygiene and prolong equipment life, without harsh scrubbing.

  • Thorough, consistent results: cavitation reaches areas that brushes and sprays cannot.
  • Gentle on instruments: cleans effectively without scratching delicate surfaces.
  • Time-saving: set the cycle, step away, and let the tank do the work.
  • Versatile: suitable for metal tools, tips, jewellery, handpieces, nozzles and small parts.

How Ultrasonic Cleaners Work

Ultrasonic transducers generate sound waves (typically 35–45 kHz) through a stainless-steel tank. These waves create cavitation — microscopic bubbles that rapidly form and collapse — which dislodge contaminants from surfaces and crevices. Add a suitable cleaning solution to improve wetting and lift residues more efficiently.

Important: Ultrasonic cleaning removes soil but does not, by itself, sterilise instruments. Always follow your local infection-control protocol for disinfection/sterilisation after cleaning.

Choosing the Right Capacity

Pick a tank size that fits your largest item with space for water to circulate. As a rule of thumb:

Typical Use Suggested Volume Notes
Jewellery, tips, drill bits, small manicure tools 0.45–0.8 L Compact, quick cycles, ideal for desks
Salon sets, tattoo grips, dental instruments 1.5–3 L Great balance of capacity and footprint
Clinic back-room, multiple trays or bulk parts 6–8 L+ For higher throughput and longer instruments

How to Use

  1. Fill the tank with water and add the recommended amount of cleaning solution (if used).
  2. Place items in the basket without overcrowding; keep them fully submerged.
  3. Select the cycle time (e.g., 90–480 seconds) and temperature if your unit is heated.
  4. Start the cycle. Rinse items afterwards and dry thoroughly.
  5. Proceed with your required disinfection/sterilisation steps.

Care & Safety

  • Change solution regularly; drain and wipe the tank daily for professional use.
  • Do not rest items directly on the tank bottom — always use the basket.
  • Avoid flammable liquids or strong acids/bleach that can damage the unit.
  • Follow manufacturer guidance for cycle length, temperature and compatible solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do ultrasonic cleaners sterilise instruments?

No. They remove soil and residues. If sterilisation is required, clean first in the ultrasonic tank, then follow an approved disinfection/sterilisation process (e.g., autoclave).

Which solution should I use?

Use a non-foaming, instrument-safe ultrasonic cleaning fluid recommended for your tools. Always check compatibility with metals, coatings and adhesives.

How long should a cycle take?

Typical cycles range from 90 seconds to 8 minutes depending on soil level and tank size. Heavily soiled items may need a second cycle.

Can I clean jewellery and delicate items?

Yes, ultrasonic cleaning is suitable for many metals and hard gemstones. Avoid porous/soft stones and glued settings — always check manufacturer guidance first.

Why use a basket instead of placing items directly in the tank?

The basket prevents contact with the tank bottom, improves cavitation around the item and protects both the tank and your instruments.

How often should I change the solution?

For professional settings, refresh at least daily or sooner if visibly contaminated. Clear solution = more effective cavitation and better results.
