Ultrasonic cleaner choice
 

Ultrasonic cleaner choice-
Does anyone have a recommendation as to what works well and is simple?
I would like at least 30 inches in length.
This will allow most of my motorcycle, car parts to fit in the broth.
Thanx!

30" long is huge, AB!

I bought a Creworks brand 6L (6 liter) size off eBay about a year and a half ago for around $100 that I use for my motorcycle stuff - mostly brake and carb stuff - that does the job for me.

It only has a 12" tank length.

Even their 30L size only has a 20" tank length.

Others here will add input, I'm sure.

Good luck!

Thanx, I would like a minimum of 30 inches.
I could get lots of different stuff in there !

A 30 inch wide ultrasonic fits into the industrial size category.

Look at what Grainger it's offering. You are going to get a sticker shock

You may want to adapt or look at what is used on CL of FB

I bought a DK Sonic off amazon 6 or 7 years ago. I own a powersports repair business, and use it almost daily cleaning carburetors and small parts. Mine holds about 5 gallons. I use a mixture of water, pine sol, and simple green. carburetors come out nice and shiny.

Hey Bill....if you don't mind......could you please share the mixture rate you are using with those 3 ingredients? Thanks!

You may want to keep your eyes on gov surplus auction sites for something that big.

Don't get plastic!
My lid melted!
But I was using carb cleaner.

Width for me is not too important, Most of my parts are longer and narrow.

I wonder if you could hack the guts out of a cleaner and strap it to a longer stainless tray.

IF, If I can't find anything, I will consider your idea~!
So far, not much out there.....

These look to be 20 inchers.

May not be helpful - but on larger items I tend to use a water soluble degreaser soak and then a wire brushing. In some cases where rust is an issue a soak afterwards in Evapo-Rust. I'll also used water blasting from garden hose and/or power washer - and that will help knock a lot of stuff off the part.

Using this method you would simply use a large tote to hold the soaking fluids.

Here's a 45 gallon tub I use. In this situation it was for a motorcycle tank. Sucker is 30" long so needed something big!

The exterior was fine - it was the interior that needed help. I filled her with Evapo-Rust and let it soak for a few days. The tub was to contain anything that may have leaked out. Hate to lose any Evapo-Rust because it's not cheap!

4 gallons water. 1 pint of pine sol. 1 pint of simple green

I also have a hot water heater element wired and sealed on a extension cord that i drop in to heat the water up more quickly... but that could electrocute a guy if you are not careful. :)

Thanks, Bill - really appreciate it.

It does take a while on my small (6L) unit for the temp to get up where I want it....but on your larger unit....I can totally understand your improvised method of getting it up quicker - very nice!

35" wide, Free shipping.

that's a very fair price. I've paid double that for a smaller thermo lab one.

Thanx Herr Oberst.
I have seen a couple in that neighborhood of $$$$
I am boiling things dwn to final results here........( LOL)

thinking back to my younger days here....could you just put the stuff in a tub then get in and fart in the tub?

you'd have to do a lot of farting to be effective but cost would be minimal.
