A medical device manufacturer purchased a high-end ultrasonic cleaner with vacuum drying—only to discover later that steam sterilization was mandatory, making the dryer useless. Meanwhile, an automotive plant saved $18,000/year by skipping unnecessary solvent recovery systems.
This guide ensures you only pay for what you need.
| Function | Purpose | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Adjustable Temperature (30-80°C) | Optimizes cleaning chemistry | Oil, grease, wax removal |
| Multi-Frequency (28kHz-120kHz) | Handles different contamination levels | Mixed-material parts |
| Timer (1-30 min) | Prevents over-cleaning damage | Delicate components |
| Function | Why It’s Wasted Money | Better Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Vacuum Drying | Requires compressed air (extra cost) | Air knife blower |
| Solvent Recovery | Needs hazardous waste permits | Outsourced recycling |
| AGV Compatibility | Only useful in full automation | Manual loading |
