Product Overview
In repeated industrial cleaning, removing contamination from the workpiece is only part of the process.
Oil, particles, machining residue, and other contaminants removed from parts can accumulate in the cleaning liquid over successive batches. After cleaning, residual liquid may also need to be removed before inspection, assembly, packaging, coating, or another manufacturing step.
This series combines ultrasonic cleaning, filtration, and drying in a dual-tank industrial configuration.
The filtration system helps manage suspended contamination in the cleaning liquid, while the integrated drying function provides a controlled post-cleaning stage without requiring a separate standalone drying unit.
With standard capacities from 45L to 1500L, the series can be configured for different part sizes, batch quantities, contamination conditions, and production requirements.
Best suited for: repeated industrial batch cleaning where cleaning-liquid filtration and post-cleaning drying are both required.
Consider another system if: your process requires only basic ultrasonic cleaning, or requires additional rinsing stages, multiple treatment tanks, automated transfer, or a more complex multi-stage cleaning process.
Typical Parts & Cleaning Applications
| | |
|---|
Machined metal components | Cutting oil, coolant, chips and particles | Ultrasonic cleaning with liquid filtration and subsequent drying |
| Oil, grease and production residue | Repeated batch cleaning followed by controlled drying |
Gears & transmission parts | Lubricant, machining oil and particles | Cleaning of complex surfaces with post-cleaning drying |
| Oil, machining residue and particles | Cleaning of threads, recesses and external surfaces |
Precision metal components | Fine particles, polishing residue and process contamination | Controlled cleaning and drying before the next production stage |
| Oil, grease and production debris | Batch cleaning where contamination can accumulate in the cleaning liquid |
The final cleaning process should be evaluated according to the part geometry, material, contamination, batch quantity, cleanliness requirement, and downstream process.
Why Combine Filtration & Drying?
This series is intended for applications where ultrasonic cleaning alone does not complete the required production process.
Cleaning-Liquid Management
During repeated cleaning cycles, particles and other removable contamination can remain in the cleaning liquid.
The integrated filtration configuration provides a method for removing suitable suspended contamination from the circulating cleaning liquid, helping manage bath condition during repeated batch operation.
This is particularly relevant for applications involving machining residue, particles, and other contaminants that can be captured by the filtration system.
Controlled Post-Cleaning Drying
Many industrial parts need to proceed to another production step after washing.
The integrated drying function provides a controlled post-cleaning stage for removing residual liquid before subsequent handling, inspection, assembly, packaging, or other compatible processes.
Standard drying temperature can be controlled from ambient conditions up to 150°C, with the actual operating temperature selected according to the workpiece and process.
A More Complete Batch-Cleaning Process
For suitable applications, cleaning, liquid management, and drying can be considered as one connected process:
Load Parts → Ultrasonic Cleaning → Filtration / Liquid Management → Drying → Unload
The actual operating sequence and system configuration should be confirmed according to the required cleaning process.
Core Features
Adjustable Ultrasonic Cleaning
Ultrasonic output is adjustable according to the selected model, allowing the cleaning process to be matched to different workpieces and contamination conditions.
28kHz / 40kHz Frequency Options
The series supports 28kHz and 40kHz configurations.
28kHz can be considered for robust industrial components and heavier contamination, while 40kHz can be considered for finer geometries or applications requiring a different cavitation characteristic.
Final frequency selection should be based on the actual workpiece and cleaning requirement.
Heated Cleaning up to 95°C
The cleaning system provides temperature control from ambient conditions up to 95°C.
For compatible applications, heated cleaning can assist with oil and grease removal and support the performance of suitable cleaning chemistry.
10μm Filtration
The standard specification includes 10μm filtration accuracy.
The filtration system is intended to manage suitable suspended contamination during repeated cleaning cycles. Final filter configuration should be evaluated according to the type and amount of contamination generated by the application.
Drying up to 150°C
The drying configuration supports temperature control from ambient conditions up to 150°C.
Actual drying temperature and time should be selected according to the workpiece material, geometry, retained liquid, batch loading, and downstream process.
1–99 Minute Time Control
Cleaning duration can be adjusted according to the workpiece, contamination, cleaning chemistry, temperature, and required cleaning result.
SUS304 Industrial Tank
The standard inner tank uses SUS304 stainless steel with T2.0 construction, providing a practical platform for repeated industrial batch-cleaning applications.

Specifications shown are standard reference configurations. Final tank layout, filtration system, drying configuration, basket design, electrical requirements, and additional process functions should be confirmed according to the application.
How to Select the Right Configuration
For this series, tank capacity alone should not determine the final machine configuration.
The complete cleaning, contamination management, drying, and production requirements should be considered together.
Workpiece & Batch Size
Provide the maximum workpiece dimensions, quantity per batch, and approximate loaded basket weight.
These details help determine the required tank dimensions, basket design, and practical working capacity.
Contamination
Cutting oil, coolant, grease, polishing residue, metal particles, and other contaminants may require different combinations of ultrasonic frequency, power, temperature, chemistry, and filtration.
The type and amount of contamination should also be considered when determining the filtration configuration.
Cleaning Requirement
The required cleaning result should be considered together with the next production stage.
Parts going directly to assembly may have different process requirements from parts prepared for inspection, coating, packaging, or further manufacturing.
Drying Requirement
Drying should be evaluated according to the workpiece material, geometry, retained liquid, batch loading, and required cycle time.
For applications where standard heated-air drying is insufficient, other drying or air-removal configurations can be evaluated.
Production Volume & Handling
For repeated production batches, consider the required number of cycles per shift and how operators load, transfer, and unload the workpieces.
If manual handling becomes inefficient, lifting, transfer, or automated control options can be evaluated as part of the project.
Custom Engineering Options
The standard dual-tank models provide a starting platform. Depending on the workpiece, contamination, production volume, and required cleaning process, additional functions can be integrated into the system.
| |
|---|
| Custom tank dimensions, baskets and workpiece fixtures |
| 28kHz / 40kHz and application-specific ultrasonic configuration |
| Filtration, circulation and additional rinsing stages |
| Spraying and bubbling for suitable applications |
| Agitation / reciprocating movement according to the cleaning process |
| Lifting and application-specific transfer mechanisms |
| Heated-air drying and air-knife configurations |
| PLC and HMI control for suitable systems |
| Multi-stage integration and gantry-type transfer systems |
| Adapted to equipment size and destination requirements |
Not every function is necessary for every application.
The final system should be configured around the required cleaning process and production conditions, rather than adding unnecessary modules.
For more complex projects, functions such as rinsing, spraying, bubbling, lifting, agitation, filtration, drying, air knife, PLC control, and automated transfer can be combined according to the process requirements.
Which System Configuration Fits Your Process?
Different industrial cleaning requirements call for different equipment configurations.
| |
|---|
| |
| |
| |
| |
Cleaning + filtration + drying | |
Cleaning + rinsing + drying | Multi-Tank Cleaning System |
Multiple stages + automatic transfer | |
This allows the machine configuration to follow the actual process instead of selecting equipment based only on the number of available functions.

FAQ
What is the difference between this series and a standard cleaning + drying system?
This series adds cleaning-liquid filtration to the ultrasonic cleaning and drying configuration.
It is intended for applications where contamination removed from repeated batches also needs to be managed in the cleaning liquid.
What does the 10μm filtration specification mean?
The standard configuration lists 10μm filter accuracy.
The final filtration system should still be selected according to the type, quantity, and characteristics of contamination generated during cleaning.
Does filtration eliminate the need to replace the cleaning solution?
No.
Filtration can remove suitable suspended contamination, but cleaning-liquid condition also depends on factors such as oil loading, dissolved contamination, cleaning chemistry, operating time, and the application.
Can spraying or bubbling be integrated?
Yes, these functions can be considered for suitable applications.
Whether they are useful depends on the workpiece geometry, contamination, cleaning process, and required result.
What information should I provide for system selection?
Provide your part photos or drawings, dimensions, material, contamination, quantity per batch, approximate batch weight, required cleanliness, current cleaning process, and downstream process.
This information helps determine whether the standard dual-tank configuration is sufficient or whether additional process functions are required.
