Features:

• Sweep Frequency

  Eliminates standing waves and creates consistent cavitation throughout the tank.

• Industrial Transducers

  40 kHz rugged industrial transducers ensure powerful and uniform ultrasonic cleaning.

• Timer and Continuous Operation

  99-minute digital timer and continuous ultrasonic operation for flexible cleaning cycles.

• Heated Cleaning

  Can be heated up to 69°C/156.2°F and set to either Fahrenheit or Celsius.

• Memory Recall

  Last stored parameters are recalled when the unit is turned back on.

• Degassing and Solution Conditioning

  The CPXH degassing period can be set up to 99 minutes. Extended degas times support applications such as sample preparation, liquid degassing, mixing, homogenization, dissolving solids, cell lysing, and particle dispersion.

• Constant Power Tracking

  Automatically maintains ultrasonic power by adjusting for changes in liquid level and temperature caused by light or heavy loads, ensuring uniform cleaning and consistent performance.

• Programmable Process

  The CPXH Series is fully programmable. Users can enter the process into the controller and leave the unit to run automatically. Temperature set points trigger degassing and ultrasonic cycles, delivering consistent results every time.

• Automatic Ultrasonic Activation

  When the process temperature reaches the set point, the ultrasonic cycle begins, with selectable times for degassing and ultrasonic processing.

• High/Low Power Control

  Allows adjustment of acoustic energy amplitude: 100% for normal cleaning, 70% for delicate parts, reducing risk of component damage.

• Safety Alarm

  High-temperature safety indicator protects the unit from overheating.

• Temperature Calibration

  User-accessible via the front panel for precise control.

• Accessible Controls

  Located above and behind the tank in a control tower panel, raised to avoid exposure to cleaning solutions.

• Convenient Drain Options

  Built-in pour drains on .5- and .75-gallon models, and tank drains with valves on 1.5-gallon and larger models.

• Chemical-Resistant Body

  Plastic construction resists common cleaning chemicals.

For smaller precision components or optical elements, the Bransonic® Model B200 Ultrasonic Cleaner offers a compact solution capable of removing fine contaminants through high-frequency cavitation cleaning technology. In inspection workflows where material integrity must also be validated after cleaning, the UTG-2900 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge with Thru-Coating Capability enables accurate thickness measurements on coated or uncoated materials. For advanced non-destructive evaluation tasks involving very thin materials, the UTG-2675 High-Resolution Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge provides enhanced measurement precision suitable for demanding quality control and engineering inspection applications.
