About 35 years ago or so we got a K&L ultrasound cleaner. It was about your size, probably 25 L. It cost, about $2000.00 at dealer price. We made arrangements to pick it up at the Dealernews News expo which was in Cincinnati at that time I believe. We hauled that and a couple of other things out of the show. That was a workout! I would be curious to know how many transducers are in yours. The one we got has four. We had to get one replaced maybe 10 years ago. There is no heater, but we just put one of those immersion heating coils in the solution when we need to use it. The cooling fan also eventually quit, but we easily fixed that. It does a great job!
In my ultrasonic, I use awesome orange I have tried many different cleaners but the awesome orange seams to cut better on the dirt and grime
Thanks for the video. Very nice unit. I usually run my faucet water until it's hot and fill a bucket to transfer to my ultrasonic cleaner. It certainly gives you a jump start on the heating process. I would like to see you try the Simple Green Pro against your current cleaner.
Pro tip:
Distilled water
98% of the time you won’t be dropping big parts in, and won’t want to waste ultrasonic cleaner concentrate so get a bunch of peanut better jars, and plastic tubs that you can filled with concentrate and your parts.
Leaves the unit with clean distilled water in place, your parts cleaned in your tubs, and a much smaller clean up.
So, basically parts inside a container filled to the brim with concentrate?
@@pr1sm55 concentrate watered down of course. Don't need pure even in the smaller jars.
For smaller, non-sharp parts that are too small & would fall thru the basket, sometimes I'll use quart-size Glad freezer storage bags filled with either Purple Power or some Simple Green Extreme Aircraft & Precision Cleaner. I also plumbed onto the ball valve a short extension w/a 90-degree elbow & a hose to keep the splashing to a minimum. It's only a 2-gal. tank, but I'll use hot water when I fill it up. And because that metal lid is so thin, I made a custom thick-ass insulation blanket/cover out of an old quilt(think water heater jacket) that fits over it like a BBQ cover to keep all that heat in. It definitely helps save on the heating time + not to mention energy (& hopefully keeps the Chineseium heating element from wearing out so soon). So far, so good
A good thing to do is take a syringe filled with solution and push through each orfice tube and all holes bc it doesn't always get into those small holes and ultrasonic cleaners need the solution to be in the holes in order to work. Then you use syringe again in clean water bucket to push out all going both ways or with carb cleaner and spraying out with air both ways to make sure cleaned. But yes dipping twice will help but it's also good to agitate it to before you use syringe method. And the only thing with that cleaner that I see is that the basket touches the bottom. Messes up ultrasonic frequency.
Basket is spaced off bottom.
@@HTMR but the prongs are touching
Even with the plastic.
If you take it off the bottom you will hear the difference sometimes this even messes up the cleaner.
@@HTMR with the basket prongs touching the bottom the oscillators have sometimes fallen off. That's the problem with some of these and that it messes with the true frequency of them. The guy I gave you the link to has been studying ultrasonic cleaners for awhile and not just him but I myself have seen other cleaners even on Amazon stating that their cleaners where the basket no prongs don't touch the bottom and why it's better for machine and cleaning. Just trying to help..
Pinesol works very well without the risk of etching the aluminum.
So does simple green but the best is the Oakite cleaner solution
Thanks for the video. Do you have a preference for chemicals to clean?
Here's a pro tip. Don't put the carbs onto the bottom of the bath / cage. Use wire and suspend the carbs in the water / cleanser. Suspension is the best way for ultra sonic cleaners.
Correct. Never rest items on the ultrasonic floor. Always suspend items for proper cleaning and no damage. They make baskets and hangers for that reason
So on the basket is good? @@theodoremarakas9899
I have a large urn and heat it in that before decanting it into the ultra sonic cleaner. Looking forward to the comparison of different chemicals.
What chemical would you like to see compared?
@HTMR I'm in the UK and therefore, I would like chemicals available to me over here. Such as EP24R.
@@Paulvx220 Never heard of that one.
I bet you could hang a deep fryer heating unit inside of one of those and heat it up very quickly.
I use the simple green pro. The purple one, works great! Always gets the carbs and parts clean
Thanks for the feedback, I want to try that one.
@@HTMR You have to watch out with Aluminum. You can get little stains that look like star fishes from the heat/cleaner. Doesn't damage the part but just doesn't look great.
Just a correction, heating power is 500w not 800w, these are now a very good value.
What year is that Chevelle?
70
Put your items in a bag/glassware with the chemical, and rest on the outside with water.
This way you use less product, as you don't need to dilute fully with the water.
I've seen people do that, I'll have to try it. The heat would have to transfer though.
it does.
I clean circuit cards this way(in an ESD bag) to reduce the amount of cleaner needed.
I guess I can't even name another channel so I'll just name the brand I think you should get or anyone that's continually does carb or cleaning jobs, Bandelin Sonorex. There are cleaners like Tickopur R-30 &33 and other that are on here and test showing no name brands to brands that truly work.
I'd really thought it didn't matter putting his channel so you and others could see the difference I definitely don't work for him or the cleaners. I've just used the cleaners and watched his videos on syringe method etc. Sorry if I offended you and your channel.
I'm curious why you're saying you can't name another channel in the comments. I've had problems in the past with that, but it wasn't because of the operator of the channel, it was because of the youtube algorithms. Sometimes those algorithms think you're spamming and won't allow you to post the comment, or YT will delete the comment after the fact and give you a time out, which has happened to me. It's really frustrating because they don't give you a reason other than violating community guidelines, which actually say you're allowed to mention another channel in comments if it's relevant to the content. (The channel creator has the option to delete it if they want to.) In my case a different motorcycle channel guy was talking about a specific custom bike and I mentioned that a guy from another channel owns that bike and did a video about it. TH-cam flagged me (for mentioning the other channel I guess) and gave me a 24 hour time out.
preheat your water in a pot or use a hot tap to save some time
My vevor unit burnt up today. Waiting to hear from customer service… power supply just melted…
Hopefully they take care of you. Good luck.
@@HTMR so far 45 mins to get through to a US call center, overnight for a non-descript “we need 48 hours to come up with a solution based on the information (video, pictures, etc) you provided”
I’ve had it for 362 days, used it two dozen times.
The feed wire to the power switch wasn’t crimped on all the way and looks like it was shorting, creating heat, and eventually melted the whole switch.
Wish it weren’t 313 bucks. :(
Track it in Keepa, I got it way cheaper. Mine is humongous, vevor too.
That didn't work well at all.
