Mini ultrasonic cleaning machine for vinyl records, PCB boards and 3D prints

Designed for specific cleaning tasks, this ultrasonic cleaning machine targets the removal of dust, scale, and dirt from delicate, flat items. Its primary function is to service vinyl records, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and 3D printed objects, using ultrasonic technology to provide a thorough clean without abrasive contact. The machine's compact, single-slot design is built around a defined inner groove, making it suitable for workshops, studios, or home use where precision cleaning of individual items is required.

Features and Construction

This unit is defined by its measurable specifications and controlled operation, focusing on practical cleaning performance for specific item types.

Material and Build

The machine is constructed to house its ultrasonic and heating components safely. It features three oscillators to generate the 40kHz ultrasonic cleaning frequency, supported by a heating element with a power rating of 0.3kW. This combination is engineered to work within a 220V electrical system, with the option to select a plug type—including UK, US, EU, or AU—that matches your regional outlets.

Size and Practical Fit

The overall unit dimensions are 460mm in width, 330mm in depth, and 400mm in height, with a total weight of 6.4kg, making it a manageable size for a benchtop. The working area is a single slot with an inner groove measuring 300mm long, 150mm wide, and 150mm deep, providing a 6.5-litre capacity designed to hold one flat item securely during the cleaning cycle.

Uses and Placement

The machine's specifications make it applicable for several niche cleaning scenarios where traditional washing is unsuitable.

Event or Professional Use

In a professional or workshop setting, such as for electronics repair or record retail, the machine can be used to clean PCBs or prepare vinyl records. The adjustable temperature control from 20°C to 80°C and timer settings from 1 to 30 minutes allow for customised cleaning cycles to address different types of contamination or material sensitivities.

Everyday Home Use

For enthusiasts at home, such as 3D printing hobbyists or vinyl collectors, the machine offers a dedicated method to maintain prints or records. The single-slot design means it processes one item at a time, which is practical for focused care and prevents items from contacting each other during cleaning.

Benefits and Buying Value

The value of this cleaner lies in its targeted function and the control it offers over the cleaning environment.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

The machine is designed for repeated use on delicate items that require regular cleaning. The absence of moving parts in contact with the items and the controlled ultrasonic and heated bath can contribute to consistent cleaning results with minimal wear on the items themselves.

Why Choose This Product

This ultrasonic cleaner is chosen for its specific size and technical settings tailored for flat, singular items like records and PCBs. The availability in two specifications—Mini and Upgraded versions—and multiple plug options provides flexibility to match both user needs and regional electrical standards without requiring adapters.
