Multi-tank series

45L–1500L Dual-Tank Ultrasonic Cleaner with Hot Air Drying

The Dual Tank Ultrasonic Cleaner combines ultrasonic cleaning and hot air drying in one two-stage industrial system. Available in capacities from 45L to 1500L, the series offers adjustable ultrasonic power, optional 28kHz or 40kHz frequency, cleaning temperatures up to 95°C, and drying temperatures up to 150°C. It is designed for manufacturers and project buyers who need to remove industrial contaminants and dry parts before inspection, assembly, coating, or packaging.

Product Overview

The Dual-Tank Ultrasonic Cleaning and Drying System combines heated ultrasonic cleaning and hot air drying in one industrial batch-processing configuration.

For many industrial parts, removing oil, coolant, polishing residue, particles, and other contamination is only the first part of the process.

After aqueous ultrasonic cleaning, water may remain on surfaces or inside holes, grooves, recesses, and other complex geometries. If the next production step requires dry parts, relying on natural drying or transferring baskets to separate drying equipment can add another handling step to the workflow.

This dual-tank system combines these two stages in one equipment layout:

Tank 1 — Heated Ultrasonic Cleaning Ultrasonic cavitation, adjustable power, optional 28/40kHz frequency, and heated cleaning liquid are used to remove compatible industrial contamination.

Tank 2 — Hot Air Drying After cleaning, the workpieces are transferred to the second tank for controlled drying at temperatures up to 150°C.

The result is a straightforward clean → dry workflow for batch production.

Best suited for: industrial parts that require aqueous ultrasonic cleaning followed by drying before the next production stage.

Consider another system if: your process also requires rinsing, multiple chemical stages, precision final rinsing, or automated material transfer. In these cases, a multi-tank or automated ultrasonic cleaning system may be more appropriate.

Why Combine Ultrasonic Cleaning and Drying?

Move Directly from Cleaning to Drying

The second tank provides a dedicated drying stage immediately after ultrasonic cleaning, reducing dependence on natural air drying or unrelated drying equipment.

Remove Residual Moisture from Complex Parts

Hot air drying helps remove water remaining on surfaces and in holes, grooves, recesses, and other areas where moisture may remain after aqueous cleaning.

Prepare Parts for the Next Process

Dry parts can proceed more directly to subsequent operations such as inspection, assembly, coating, storage, or packaging.

Keep the Process in One Equipment Layout

Cleaning and drying are arranged as consecutive stages, making the system practical for repetitive industrial batch processing.

Typical Parts & Cleaning Applications

Parts / Applications	Typical Contamination	Why Cleaning + Drying Fits
CNC-machined parts	Cutting oil, coolant, chips, machining residue	Cleans complex surfaces and dries parts before inspection or assembly
Gears, shafts & bearings	Oil, grease and particles	Combines contaminant removal with post-cleaning moisture removal
Automotive components	Grease, oil, carbon-related residue and particles	Suitable for batch cleaning before inspection, repair or assembly
Valves & metal fittings	Oil, machining residue and particles	Ultrasonic cleaning reaches detailed geometries followed by controlled drying
Molds & tooling components	Oil, polishing compound and production residue	Cleaning and drying can be completed in consecutive stages
Precision metal components	Light oil, particles and process residue	Provides a controlled cleaning-to-drying workflow before downstream processing

Actual cleaning and drying performance depends on the part material, geometry, contamination, cleaning chemistry, batch load, temperature, and process settings.

Core Features

Dual-Tank Cleaning + Drying Layout

The standard system consists of one ultrasonic cleaning tank and one hot air drying tank, creating a simple two-stage industrial process.

Adjustable Ultrasonic Power

Depending on model, ultrasonic output ranges from 0–600W to 0–10800W, allowing cleaning intensity to be adjusted for different workpieces and contamination conditions.

28kHz / 40kHz Frequency Options

The series supports 28kHz or 40kHz configurations.

28kHz can be considered for robust parts and heavier contamination.

40kHz can be considered for finer geometries and comparatively more sensitive cleaning requirements.

Final frequency selection should be based on the actual workpiece and contamination.

Heated Ultrasonic Cleaning

The cleaning tank supports temperature control from ambient temperature up to 95°C. Heated cleaning can assist with oil and grease removal when compatible with the workpiece and selected cleaning chemistry.

Hot Air Drying up to 150°C

The second tank provides controlled hot air drying from ambient temperature up to 150°C.

Drying parameters should be selected according to the workpiece material, geometry, batch load, and residual moisture.

1–99 Minute Time Control

Cleaning time can be adjusted according to contamination level, cleaning chemistry, workpiece geometry, and process requirements.

SUS304 Inner Tank

Standard inner tanks use SUS304 stainless steel for repeated industrial cleaning applications.

45L–1500L Capacity Range

Sixteen standard configurations are available, allowing the system to accommodate different workpiece sizes, batch quantities, and production requirements.

Drying power, overall machine dimensions, basket load, electrical supply, drainage arrangement, and other project-specific specifications should be confirmed according to the final equipment configuration.

Is This the Right Configuration for Your Process?

The key question is not simply how large the cleaning tank should be, but what needs to happen after ultrasonic cleaning.

Your Process Requirement	Recommended System
Ultrasonic cleaning only	Single-tank ultrasonic cleaner
Ultrasonic cleaning → drying	This dual-tank cleaning & drying series
Ultrasonic cleaning → rinsing	Dual-tank cleaning & rinsing system
Cleaning → rinsing → drying	Multi-tank ultrasonic cleaning system
Multiple washing / rinsing / drying stages	Customized multi-tank system
Continuous high-volume production	Automated ultrasonic cleaning line

Choose This Series When:

Parts need to be dried after aqueous ultrasonic cleaning.

Residual moisture may interfere with the next production step.

Your process does not require a separate rinsing stage between cleaning and drying.

Cleaning and drying need to be arranged within one equipment system.

Parts are processed in repetitive batches.

Consider a Multi-Tank System When:

If the required process is:

Cleaning → Rinsing → Final Rinsing → Drying

or involves several cleaning solutions, precision rinsing, filtration, or other controlled stages, a multi-tank system will generally provide a more suitable process layout.

How to Select the Right Model

For this series, tank capacity alone should not determine model selection.

The appropriate configuration depends on the relationship between the workpiece, batch load, cleaning requirement, and drying requirement.

Before selecting a model, consider:

Workpiece size and geometry — determines tank and basket dimensions.

Quantity per batch — affects working capacity and required tank size.

Contamination — influences ultrasonic frequency, power, temperature, chemistry, and cleaning time.

Part material and surface condition — affects suitable cleaning and drying parameters.

Drying requirement — complex holes and recessed structures may require different drying conditions from simple flat components.

Production throughput — determines whether manual batch handling remains practical or a more automated system should be considered.

For project evaluation, send us your part photos or drawings, dimensions, material, contamination, quantity per batch, and required cleaning result.

Custom Engineering Options

Standard models provide a starting point for equipment selection. The final system can be configured around the actual workpiece and production process.

Project Requirement	Available Direction
Tank Size	Standard or application-specific dimensions
Basket / Fixture	Evaluated according to workpiece geometry and loading
Ultrasonic Frequency	28kHz / 40kHz
Ultrasonic Power	Selected according to tank size and cleaning requirements
Cleaning Temperature	Configured according to process requirements
Drying Configuration	Evaluated according to workpiece and drying requirements
Handling Method	Manual or project-specific handling options
Electrical Configuration	Adapted to equipment size and destination requirements
Additional Process Stages	Rinsing or additional stages can be evaluated through another multi-tank configuration

The final configuration should be confirmed according to the workpiece, contamination, required cleanliness, drying requirement, and production conditions.

Why Work with SonixMax?

SonixMax approaches industrial ultrasonic cleaning equipment from the required cleaning process, rather than simply matching a buyer to a tank capacity.

For this series, we first evaluate whether a two-stage cleaning + drying process is sufficient for the application.

If the workpiece requires rinsing, multiple cleaning stages, special handling, filtration, or a higher level of automation, a different ultrasonic cleaning system can be evaluated instead.

Project support can include equipment selection, configuration discussion, technical communication, customization coordination, export packaging and delivery coordination, and after-sales communication.

For applications with strict cleanliness, material compatibility, or drying requirements, cleaning trials or additional process evaluation may be recommended before the final configuration is confirmed.

FAQ

What is the difference between this system and a standard dual-tank ultrasonic cleaner?

This series specifically combines an ultrasonic cleaning tank with a hot air drying tank. A standard dual-tank system may instead use the second tank for rinsing or another cleaning stage.

Do I still need a rinsing tank?

That depends on the cleaning process. If the selected cleaning chemistry or cleanliness requirement requires rinsing after ultrasonic cleaning, a cleaning + rinsing + drying multi-tank system may be more suitable.

What types of parts are suitable for this system?

Typical applications include machined metal parts, gears, shafts, valves, fittings, automotive components, tooling, molds, and other compatible industrial workpieces that require aqueous cleaning followed by drying.

How do I choose between 45L and 1500L?

Tank size should be selected according to the actual workpiece dimensions, basket size, quantity per batch, and production throughput rather than nominal capacity alone.
