Bransonic® B200 Ultrasonic Cleaning Device

The Bransonic® Model B200 ultrasonic cleaner is compact and stylish, with the convenience of plug-in-anywhere operation.

The Bransonic® Model B200 has been widely recognized in scientific studies and industry reviews for its effective ultrasonic cleaning performance. Peer-reviewed articles highlight the benefits of 40 kHz ultrasonic energy in removing microscopic contaminants from metals, plastics, and delicate components without causing damage. Customer reviews consistently praise the B200 for its reliability, ease of use, and versatility across jewelry, optical items, electronics, and hobbyist applications. It is commonly used for cleaning coins, small instruments, clock parts, and even geological specimens, offering users a combination of speed, thoroughness, and gentle cleaning action.

Ultrasonic Cleaning Ability

Though intended for the rapid and efficient cleaning of jewelry and optical items, it also possesses ultrasonic cleaning capabilities suitable for many other uses.

Cleaning Applications

• Instrument & clock parts
• Small geological samples
• Coins & hobby items
• Small electrical/electronic components
• Metal & plastic machined parts
• Recorder & drafting pens

The Model B200 contains a stainless steel tank with a 15-ounce capacity. The tank is contained within an impact-resistant plastic housing. A cover and parts basket are included as standard accessories. This versatile unit features a 5-minute timer that shuts off automatically. All you need to do is add the appropriate solution for your application, clean your parts, and follow with a thorough rinse.

Microscopic Cleaning and Maintenance

The cleaner uses ultrasonic energy (40 kHz) in the form of sound waves to create millions of tiny microscopic vacuum cavities in the solution. As these cavities collapse, they release high-frequency energy, loosening dirt on all surfaces that the solution touches. This activity, called cavitation, occurs thousands of times per second to gently yet thoroughly scrub contamination off the article being cleaned.

When you lift your parts out of the cleaner, they are microscopically clean.

Typical Applications: Jewelry

The Model B200 ultrasonic cleaner, when used with Branson's Jewelry Cleaner Concentrate, is all you need to clean jewelry items such as gold, gemstones, platinum, rings, and watch bands. Branson's Jewelry Cleaner Concentrate is a specialized, biodegradable, phosphate-free alkaline cleaner for jewelry and precious metals.

A unique blend of nonionic surfactants, detergent bases, and wetting agents provides a safe cleaning medium for valuable jewelry.

Gemstones and precious metals are quickly restored to their original brilliance with this free-rinsing solution.

Optics

The Bransonic® Model B200 can also be used with Branson's Optical Cleaner for cleaning contact lenses, eyeglasses, and other optical components.

Effective for the removal of handling soils such as fingerprints and dust, it will also remove a wide range of other contaminants.

After ultrasonic cleaning of precision parts or small assemblies, inspection and material verification can be performed using instruments such as the UTG-2900 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge with Thru-Coating Capability, which enables accurate wall-thickness measurements on coated or uncoated materials used in industrial equipment. For applications demanding extremely fine measurement resolution on thin materials, the UTG-2675 High-Resolution Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge provides advanced scanning and precision analysis suitable for laboratory and inspection environments. In facilities handling biological or chemical samples where component preparation and sample separation occur in parallel workflows, equipment such as the Portafuge Centrifuge E8 supports rapid sample processing and complements laboratory maintenance procedures that rely on precision cleaning systems.
