In many cases, customers already have a cleaning tank which can be used to save considerably.  By purchasing the ultrasonic components, and installing them into an existing non-ultrasonic tank, an ultrasonic cleaning tank is produced.  And, with the drastic increases in the cost of stainless steel, the savings are considerable. 

Before considering a submersible system, consider the tank you have, and its material of construction.  Plastic tanks should never be used for ultrasonic applications, since the plastic will reduce available ultrasonic cleaning power from 60-90% as a result of dampening of the ultrasonic waves.  Tanks should be manufactured of a metal of some kind, preferably stainless steel.

Most submersible (also known as immersible) cleaning systems include  1 or more Ultrasonic Transducer Packs, and 1 or more Ultrasonic Generators to power the transducer pack.  The Transducer packs are manufactured of 304 or 316 stainless steel, and are mounted either to the bottom, or side wall of an existing tank.  Each Transducer Pack houses a number of individual Zenith double-stacked high-efficiency ultrasonic transducers mounted to promote evenly-distributed ultrasonic cleaning action in the tank into which these packs are mounted.  Submersibles can be supplied with 25kHz, 40kHz, 80kHz, or CROSSFIRE Multiple Frequency Ultrasonic Systems.

Depending upon the ultrasonic frequency selected, Transducer Packs can be 3 or 4" tall.  As such, you can expect to lose this amount of space within the tank.  Zenith will work closely with you to determine the best frequency for your application, and will assist in determining the best mounting location for the Transducer Packs. 

An RF-shielded Electrical Cables with Quick Disconnect Fittings are included to connect the Transducer Packs to the Ultrasonic generators.  This cable can either pass through a sealed hole on the bottom of the tank (known as a "bulkhead" mount), or can pass through the top of the tank through a rigid stainless steel "snorkel" we typically called a "Riser."  There are benefits and disadvantages to each design.  Since most customers do not like the idea of cutting holes in the bottom of a cleaning tank, most opt to purchase the riser-style Transducer Packs.  However, this may interfere with covers, or other items mounted near to the top of the tank, where a bulkhead mount would prevent these interferences.

Transducer Packs also include mounting tabs with holes which can be used to permanently attach the Transducer packs to the mounting location of choice. 

Although Zenith offers a line of standard submersible systems, most Zenith submersibles are custom manufactured to ensure that there are no dead spots produced, and that the effectiveness of the ultrasonic system is maximized.  No other manufacture offers this service at no additional charge.

If you have an existing tank which you think may be suitable for ultrasonic cleaning, contact Zenith for a quotation on a custom-manufactured submersible cleaning system.

Submersible Ultrasonic Systems:

• Used To Provide Existing Tanks with Ultrasonic Cleaning Capabilites
• Not Preferred for Tanks Manufactured of Plastic Materials
• Are Available with 2 Mounting Styles:  Bulkhead or Riser.
• Require Mounting of Transducer Packs by Purchasing Customer.  Complete Instructions and Assistance are Provided.
