Cleaning media
When selecting the cleaning medium please ensure that the selected medium is suitable for use
in an ultrasonic cleaning bath; unsuitable media may cause damage to the ultrasonic tank, or
may even lead to injuries to the operating staff.
6.1
Limitations of use of cleaners containing solvents
Never use flammable liquids or solvents directly in an ultrasonic
cleaning tank. Risk of fire and explosion!
Observe the warnings in
Section 6.2.
Ultrasound increases the volume of vaporisation of liquids and creates a very fine mist
that can catch fire on any ignition source at any time.
Do
not
fill potentially explosive substances and flammable solvents
•
marked in compliance with the EEC directives by symbols and safety warnings R 1 to R 9
•
or E, F+, F, O or R 10, R 11 or R 12 for flammable substances
into the stainless steel tank for ultrasonic treatment.
Exception
In compliance with the general regulations on the protection of
labour, certain limited volumes of flammable liquids (max. 1 litre)
can be used in an ultrasonic cleaning unit under the following
conditions: these liquids must be filled into a suitable separate
vessel (e.g. beaker) with sufficient ventilation; this vessel (beaker)
can then be put into the stainless steel tank which is filled with
non-flammable liquid (water with a few drops of interlacing agent).
If in doubt and for any queries please contact the manufacturer or your supplier.
