Multi-stage Ultrasonic Cleaners for Every Application
Multi-stage ultrasonic cleaning systems are used when more than just an ultrasonic cleaning tank is required. Most customers require rinsing operations of some type (pre-cleaning or final cleaning quality) to remove the detergents used in the ultrasonic cleaning tank, others cleaning steel parts may require a rust preventative be applied to their parts, and many will also require a drying operation. Multi-stage ultrasonic systems accomplish any or all of these tasks by providing multiple processing tanks, each with a particular function. The first tank is usually an ultrasonic cleaning tank, the 2nd may be an rinsing tank, the 3rd may be a rust preventative dip tank, and the 4th a drying tank. Any combination is available from Zenith. Baskets of parts are transferred from tank-to-tank to complete the entire process and any number of tanks can be supplied, making the multi-tank cleaning system the best choice when your parts require more than just the ultrasonic cleaning tank.
MTC2 2-stage Ultrasonic Washers
These systems include only an ultrasonic cleaning tank and a rinsing or drying tank. They are preferred when customers do not need a drying method, or for steel cleaning applications when a rinse method is not required. These systems are available as manually operated systems that require operators to transfer parts from tank-to-tank, as semi-automated systems when our NOVA Semi-automation System is purchased or fully automated when equipped with our Transtar or Advantage Automation Systems.
MTC3 3-stage Cleaning Systems
Zenith’s MTC3 multi-stage cleaning systems include 3 processing tanks that can be configured in a number of different ways as follows.
- Single ultrasonic cleaning tank and dual rinse tanks when drying method is not required.
- Single ultrasonic cleaning tank, rinse tank, and drying tank for rough cleaning when zero-residue cleaning results are not required.
All systems can be manually-operated, or provided with automation (Advantage automation shown in photo) or semi-automation system options, and can be customized using Zenith’s huge list of options.
MTC4 4-stage Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems
Zenith’s most popular multi-stage ultrasonic cleaner, the MTC 4 typically includes a single ultrasonic cleaning tank, dual cascading rinse tanks, and a drying tank. These systems are capable of producing zero-residue final cleaning results when deionized water is used in the rinse tanks. Other configurations can include:
- Dual ultrasonic cleaning tanks and dual rinse tanks when drying is not required and parts are heavily contaminated
- Single ultrasonic cleaning tank and triple rinse tanks when drying is not required but water consumption is a concern
All systems are available as manually-operated machines where operators move baskets from tank-to-tank, or equipped with semi or full automation systems, and systems can be customized using our large options list.
MTC5 5-stage Ultrasonic Washers
The MTC5 is a 5-tank ultrasonic cleaning system that is available in the following formats:
- Single ultrasonic cleaning tank, triple cascade rinse tanks, and a drying tank when ultra-precision final cleaning results are required
- Dual ultrasonic cleaning tanks, dual cascade rinse tanks, and a drying tank when zero-residue results are needed and parts are highly contaminated.
This system is favored for aerospace and medical applications when ultra-clean final results are required. The system is available manually operated, semi-automated, or fully-automated with Transtar or Advantage Automation Systems (Advantage shown to the right).
