2. Operation
Fill the unit with liquid before connecting it to the power supply. If you use water
as contact medium we recommend the use of the suitable ELMA Clean cleaning
solution to be added to the water. The ELMA Clean chemicals contain tensides
that reduce the surface tension and are specially designed for the use in an
ultrasonic bath. Switch on the ultrasonic unit and let the liquid degas for a few
minutes. Degassed liquids allow better cavitation. Furthermore, special degas-
improving substances contained in the ELMA Clean chemicals accelerate the
cavitation process. The use of the cleaning chemicals guarantee a long service
life of the TRANSSONIC ultrasonic unit.
The optimum temperature for your specific cleaning task is indicated on the
label of the used ELMA Clean solution along with the mixing concentration and
the recommended cleaning time.
If you use pulverised or granulated cleaning media by other suppliers ensure
that the pulver or granulates dissolve completely. Any residue and particles on
the tank floor may cause contact corrosion and create pinholes in the material.
The items to be cleaned must be covered completely by the cleaning liquid. We
recommend to put the items in/on a holder basket to protect the stainless-steel
tank. Do not put the items directly on the tank floor. These measures
considerably prolong the service life of the stainless-steel tanks.
If you use aggressive chemicals (e.g. acids, alkalines) we recommend the use
of plastic tubs (acid-resistant tubs; see Elma catalogue Accessories).
