Frequently asked questions
Are essential accessories and samples included?
Yes, the Mettler Cavitator Ultrasonic Cleaner ships Factory New and includes all the components and starter samples required for immediate operation.
Your purchase includes:
- Stainless Steel Cleaning Basket: Used for safely suspending items within the cleaning solution.
- Ultrasonic Cleaner Cover: Helps reduce operational noise and minimize fluid evaporation.
- Instruction Manual
- Starter sample of Cavi-Clean Liquid Detergent
- Starter sample of Cavi-Clean Additive Powder
The unit also features handles for easy lifting and portability.
Are starter cleaning solutions included with the Cavitator?
Yes, the Mettler Cavitator ships ready to use with starter samples of cleaning solutions, which are specifically formulated to maximize the effectiveness of ultrasonic cavitation. This allows you to begin cleaning right away.
The included Cavi-Clean samples are:
- One sample of Cavi-Clean Liquid Detergent
- One sample of Cavi-Clean Additive Powder
These specialized solutions help the ultrasonic waves create millions of microscopic bubbles that gently yet effectively clean and polish surfaces, including intricate areas of medical instruments, glassware, and jewelry.
Does the ultrasonic cleaner have safety certifications?
Yes, the Mettler Cavitator Ultrasonic Cleaner meets several essential compliance standards, confirming its safe and reliable operation. It is constructed with a smudge-free SUS 304 stainless steel surface and operates at 40 kHz.
Key safety and compliance certifications include:
- CE Certified: Meets essential health, safety, and environmental protection requirements.
- FCC Certified: Ensures electromagnetic emissions are within acceptable limits.
- EMC Certified: Confirms its electromagnetic compatibility.
- RoHS Compliant: Adheres to restrictions on specific hazardous materials.
How does the cavitation cleaning work?
The Mettler Cavitator ensures gentle, yet highly effective, cleaning through the physical process of ultrasonic cavitation, eliminating the need for abrasive scrubbing.
This is how the powerful cleaning action is achieved:
- High-Frequency Waves: The unit operates at a cleaning frequency of 40 kHz, generating high-frequency ultrasonic waves in the cleaning solution.
- Bubble Formation: These waves create millions of microscopic vacuum bubbles (cavities).
- Cleaning Force: When these bubbles rapidly implode upon reaching the item’s surface, they release powerful, localized pressure waves (micro-jets).
- Thoroughness: This process effectively reaches every crevice, nook, and cranny to dislodge trapped dirt and debris, polishing items like medical instruments, glassware, and jewelry to a lustrous finish without causing damage.
Is this ultrasonic cleaner safe for delicate items?
Yes, the Mettler Cavitator is specifically engineered for gentle, yet highly effective cleaning of delicate items and sensitive surfaces.
It achieves this through ultrasonic cavitation, a process where millions of microscopic bubbles are created and rapidly collapse. This action effectively dislodges trapped dirt and debris from crevices and hard-to-reach areas without requiring abrasive physical scrubbing.
This makes the cleaner ideal for restoring the original finish on sensitive items, including:
- Delicate jewelry
- Medical instruments
- Glassware and lab equipment
Does it have precise digital controls?
Yes, the Mettler Cavitator features precise digital controls and displays for both the timer and heater settings, ensuring optimal cleaning results. You can easily adjust the timer from 0 to 30 minutes and set the temperature from 20 to 80 °C. It operates at a consistent frequency of 40 kHz for effective cavitation cleaning.
Do all cleaner models include a drain valve?
No, not all models of the Mettler Cavitator Ultrasonic Cleaner include a drain valve. The inclusion depends on the size you choose:The drain valve is included on the larger models (6L, 10L, and 22L). These are designed with a ball valve style and have a 0.5-inch inner diameter for easy fluid drainage.The smallest 3L (0.8 Gallon) model does not include a drain valve.
Does this cleaner feature durable stainless steel construction?
Yes, the Mettler Cavitator Ultrasonic Cleaner is constructed from smudge-free SUS 304 stainless steel. This durable material ensures longevity, is easy to maintain, and provides a professional appearance.
What is the ultrasonic frequency?
The Mettler Cavitator operates at a precise frequency of 40 kHz.
This powerful frequency is specifically optimized to create the cavitation cleaning action, generating millions of microscopic bubbles that provide gentle yet comprehensive cleaning:
- Thorough Dirt Removal: The imploding bubbles effectively dislodge trapped dirt and debris.
- Access Intricate Areas: The cleaning action reaches every nook and cranny, ideal for complex medical instruments, glassware, and jewelry.
- Restoration: Helps restore items to a high-luster, original finish without the need for physical scrubbing.
What sizes are available for the cleaner?
The Mettler Cavitator Ultrasonic Cleaner is offered in four versatile tank sizes to accommodate different volumes and item dimensions:
- 0.8 Gallons (3 Liters)
- 1.6 Gallons (6 Liters)
- 2.6 Gallons (10 Liters)
- 5.8 Gallons (22 Liters)
