Bandelin SONOREX DE 156 perforated lid for SUPER RK and DIGITEC DT

SONOREX SUPER RK 156: Ultrasonic bath for daily laboratory cleaning The Bandelin SONOREX SUPER RK 156 is an ultrasonic bath with a total capacity of 6.0 litres (4.0 litres working capacity), operating at an ultrasonic frequency of 35 kHz. It generates a peak power of 640 W at a rated power of 160 W, making it suitable for the gentle yet effective cleaning of laboratory glassware, instruments and small parts using cavitation. The ultrasonic treatment time can be continuously adjusted between 1 and 15 minutes (±5 %) using the rotary knob; alternatively, continuous operation is available. This model from the RK 156 series is not fitted with a heater and is therefore designed for applications where a temperature-controlled cleaning fluid is not required. Robust construction and simple operation The tank and housing of the SONOREX SUPER RK 156 are made of 1.4301 stainless steel; the tank wall thickness is 1.0 mm. A fill-level mark facilitates correct filling of the tank; draining is carried out via a G 1/4 ball valve with a 25 cm long hose on the right-hand side of the unit. The unit is powered by 230 V~ (±10 %), 50/60 Hz; the 2-metre power cable is permanently attached to the unit. With an IP 32 protection rating and a weight of 7.7 kg, the ultrasonic bath is compact and designed for use on a laboratory bench. Laboratory applications Typical applications for an ultrasonic bath of this design include the cleaning of laboratory glassware and small parts, the pre-cleaning and preparation of instruments, and the degassing of solvents prior to analytical applications. Thanks to its compact size, the SONOREX SUPER RK 156 is suitable both for regular use in routine laboratory work and as a supplementary cleaning unit alongside larger ultrasonic baths.

At 100 mm deep, the tank of the Bandelin SONOREX DIGITEC DT 156 is shallower than that of the DT 156 BH, whilst the other dimensions remain the same: 500 mm long, 140 mm wide, with a total capacity of 6.0 litres and a working capacity of 4.0 litres. The bath has no heating and is operated via buttons.Flat and longThe inner dimensions of the tank are 500 x 140 x 100 mm. It is made from 1.0 mm thick 1.4301 stainless steel; the housing is made from the same material. Externally, the unit measures 530 x 165 x 245 mm and weighs 6.3 kg; it has no handles. A level mark indicates the fill level. A G ¼ ball valve is fitted on the right-hand side of the drain; a hose connector and hose are included with the unit.Ultrasound without heatingThere is no heating element, so there is no temperature preselection and no boiling delay protection. The current consumption is 0.7 A at 230 V and 1.4 A at 115 V. The ultrasonic energy is generated by four vibration systems (35 kHz, 640 W peak, 160 W nominal power). In addition, there is SweepTec to prevent standing waves, DEGAS for degassing before start-up, and a pulse function.OperationThe duration is set using wipe-clean buttons and shown on the display: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes (± 5 %), or alternatively, continuous operation. It switches off after 12 hours if no button is pressed. The power cable is 2 m long and permanently attached to the unit.AccessoriesThe K 6 L insert basket (stainless steel, 460 x 100 x 50 mm, mesh size 5 x 5 mm, up to 10 kg) almost fills the entire length of the tank. It is compatible with the lids D 156 and DE 156 (perforated) as well as the SM 6 silicone studded mat (pack of two). The range of accessories also includes 0.6-litre insert beakers, the KD 0 and PD 04 sieve baskets, the PHS 12 sample holder and the FT 6 film test frame with FL 14 films.DT 156, DT 156 BH and the alternativesThe SONOREX DIGITEC DT 156 BH is 150 mm deep, has a capacity of 9.0 litres and features a 600 W heater, whilst retaining the same length and width.

Long pipettes, tubing, tools or torches rarely fit into a square tank. The Bandelin SONOREX SUPER RK 156 BH, with internal dimensions of 500 x 140 x 150 mm, is deliberately designed to be narrow and long, thus providing a total capacity of 9.0 l for elongated items that cannot be accommodated in the more compact SUPER RK models.Narrow tank for elongated objectsWhilst most SUPER RK models have approximately square tanks, the RK 156 BH, measuring 500 mm in length and just 140 mm in width, is tailored to slender items: shorter laboratory glass rods, tools, hoses or several smaller instruments placed side by side. The working capacity is 6.0 l, and four vibration systems ensure uniform ultrasonic agitation across the entire length of the tank.600-watt heater for thorough cleaningAt an operating frequency of 35 kHz, the RK 156 BH delivers 860 watts of peak power and 215 watts of rated power; the SweepTec function prevents standing waves across the elongated tank shape. The 600-watt heater covers a range of 30 to 80 °C and is fitted with dry-run protection; the timer ranges from 1 to 15 minutes (± 5 %) or continuous operation, controlled via rotary knobs for time and temperature.Ball valve drain and robust constructionA G 1/4 ball valve on the right-hand side allows the tank to be drained in a controlled manner. The tank and housing are made of 1.4301 stainless steel with a thickness of 1.0 mm; the external dimensions of 530 x 165 x 300 mm and the net weight of 7.3 kg correspond to the narrow, elongated design. The housing is IP 32-rated, and the 2-metre power cable is permanently attached to the unit.When the BH design is suitableFor compact, roughly cube-shaped items to be cleaned, the standard SUPER RK models, such as the RK 510 H (9.7 l, but with a more square tank), are often the more practical choice. The RK 156 BH is worth considering where the length of the items to be cleaned is the main issue, such as with rods, longer tools or multiple objects that need to be placed side by side rather than on top of one another.Product range breakdown: SUPER RK, DIGITEC DT and smart STThe slim BH design is currently only available within the SUPER RK series with classic rotary knob controls. Those looking instead for digital button controls with an LED display will find them in the DIGITEC DT series, whilst the smart ST series features touchscreen controls with programme memory. We also offer Elma Elmasonic ultrasonic baths, although these are built with different tank shapes.Use and maintenanceThe working capacity of 6.0 l is less than the total capacity of 9.0 l, ensuring that no water spills over the rim when the items to be cleaned are placed inside. A concentrate from Bandelin’s TICKOPUR range is suitable as the cleaning agent. Freshly prepared liquid should be run briefly in continuous operation before the first cleaning cycle, so that dissolved air escapes and cavitation can take full effect. After use, the tank can be drained completely via the ball valve, leaving no residue, and then wiped dry.Typical applicationsCleaning of elongated tools, rods and hosesSimultaneous cleaning of several smaller instruments side by sidePre-cleaning of narrow laboratory glassware prior to further processingDegreasing of elongated metal parts in workshops and industryFrequently asked questionsWhy is the tank so narrow and long?The internal dimensions of 500 x 140 x 150 mm are specifically designed for elongated items that do not fit into more square-shaped tanks.Where is the drain?On the right, as a ball valve with a G 1/4 connection.Is the RK 156 BH heated?Yes, with a heating power of 600 watts and a temperature range of 30 to 80 °C.How many vibration systems does the unit have?Four, distributed along the entire length of the tank to ensure uniform agitation.Technical detailsTotal capacity / Working capacity9.0 l / 6.0 lInternal tank dimensions (L x W x D)500 x 140 x 150 mmExternal dimensions (L x W x H)530 x 165 x 300 mmWeight (net)7.3 kgUltrasonic frequency35 kHzUltrasonic powerPeak power 860 W, rated power 215 W, 4 vibration systemsHeating power600 W, temperature range 30 to 80 °C, dry-run protectionTimer1 to 15 minutes (± 5 %) or continuous operationOperationRotary knobFunctionsSweepTec, pulse functionTank materialStainless steel 1.4301, thickness 1.0 mmHousing materialStainless steel 1.4301DrainBall valve G 1/4, right-hand sideMains connection230 V~ (± 10 %), 50/60 Hz, optionally 115 V~, 2 m fixed mains lead, protection class ICurrent consumption230 V 3.6 A / 115 V 7.1 ADegree of protectionIP 32Medical device classClass I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745)ConformityLow Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, RoHS Directive 2011/65/EUPackaging dimensions655 x 265 x 370 mmScope of delivery1x Bandelin SONOREX SUPER RK 156 BH ultrasonic bath with heaterFixed mains lead (2 m)Instructions for useThe insert basket and lid are not included in the scope of delivery and are available separately.Individual requirements and procurement serviceFor the K 6 BL insert basket, the D 156 lid or another tank shape from the SUPER RK series, individual procurement requirements apply.
