Benchtop ultrasonic basins: precision and power in a compact format

Technical cleaning becomes a challenge in environments where precision and space are crucial, such as clinics, mechanical workshops, laboratories, or research and development areas. DCM ultrasonic BT line has developed the most sophisticated and effective systems to meet this need: compact, durable tabletop ultrasonic tanks designed to provide the highest quality cleaning for medium and small components, with performance equivalent to that of larger industrial equipment.
 

Concept and operation of benchtop ultrasonic basins

Cleaning devices that use high-frequency ultrasonic waves, typically between 25 and 40 kHz, are known as tabletop ultrasonic tanks. The phenomenon of cavitation in the cleaning liquid occurs due to these waves, which are produced by piezoelectric transducers: millions of microbubbles implode and release energy, removing all kinds of contaminants adhered to surfaces, including complex geometries, internal channels or microperforations.

In DCM Ultrasonic  BT Series, this process has been optimised with high-efficiency electronic technology and precise power calibration, achieving a balance between acoustic power, stable frequency and thermal control. The result is uniform, controlled cleaning without the risk of damaging sensitive materials.
 

Compact design and industrial performance

Although their size makes them ideal solutions for workbenches or production areas with limited space, the BT series basins have been designed to the same standards as DCM Ultrasonic's large-capacity industrial equipment.

Manufactured from AISI 304 or 316 stainless steel, they ensure chemical and mechanical resistance to even the most rigorous neutral or alkaline detergents. They are available in 20 and 30 litre versions. Their reinforced structure reduces the transfer of external vibrations and improves ultrasonic propagation throughout the entire volume of the tank.

The digital control panel allows essential parameters such as temperature, time and ultrasonic power to be modified, making it easier to control the process with precision. In addition, its controlled heating system guarantees the perfect bath temperature, enhancing the cavitation effect and optimising the effectiveness of the degreasing process.

Applications of compact ultrasonics in multiple sectors

The BT Series benchtop ultrasonic basins are highly versatile and used in sectors where precision technical cleaning is a critical phase of the production or maintenance process:

• Research laboratories: removal of biological residues, oils or compounds from samples and glass or metal materials.
• Mechanical and maintenance workshops: cleaning of injectors, carburettors, valves, spark plugs or precision tools.
• Dental and medical clinics: thorough disinfection of surgical instruments and delicate parts.
• Electronics industry: removal of flux, dielectric oils or metal particles from boards and components.
• Watchmaking and jewellery: restoration and non-abrasive cleaning of high-value parts and microcomponents.

Thanks to their benchtop format, these units can be installed directly on workbenches, speeding up intermediate or final cleaning processes without the need to move parts to specific areas.

Advantages over other cleaning methods

Benchtop ultrasonic basins offer safety, precision and repeatability, in contrast to traditional techniques such as brushing, manual cleaning, steam jetting or chemical immersion. Some of their most notable benefits are:

1. Complete cleaning without mechanical contact: delicate surfaces are not damaged and tolerances are not altered.
2. Deep action in internal cavities: ultrasound reaches areas inaccessible to brushes or solvents.
3. Reduced use of harsh chemicals: promotes sustainability and operator safety.
4. Process uniformity: all points on the part receive the same cleaning energy.
5. Saves time and resources: automated cleaning in minutes, with consistent results.
6. High equipment durability: top-quality materials and electronic overload protection systems.

Compared to chemical baths or pressurised air methods, ultrasonic cleaning offers superior energy efficiency, lower solvent consumption and more complete contaminant removal.
