Product information "Bandelin SONOREX DE 255 perforated lid for SUPER RK and DIGITEC DT"
The DE 255 perforated lid is made of stainless steel and holds insert beakers in the ultrasonic bath. Because nothing may lie on the tank bottom during operation, the beakers are hung in the lid. Different liquids can be sonicated at the same time in several beakers. The perforated lid is intended for 3 models of the SONOREX SUPER RK and DIGITEC DT series.
SONOREX SUPER RK 255 ultrasonic bath, tried-and-tested cleaning technology for laboratories and medical practices
The Bandelin SONOREX SUPER RK 255 is a compact ultrasonic bath with a total capacity of 5.5 litres (3.8 litres working capacity), designed for daily cleaning routines in laboratories, doctors’ surgeries, dental practices and industrial workshops. Using an ultrasonic frequency of 35 kHz, the unit generates fine cavitation bubbles that reliably dislodge contaminants even from hard-to-reach cavities, channels, threads and crevices. It is operated via a simple rotary knob, which allows the cleaning duration to be adjusted continuously, for straightforward use without complex menu navigation and without the need for a lengthy training period for laboratory staff. This allows the ultrasonic bath to be easily integrated into existing cleaning and reprocessing workflows, for example as a standalone unit alongside a cleaning and disinfection device. According to Bandelin, instruments can be cleaned as part of manual reprocessing and before or after machine reprocessing.
Applications: Instruments, laboratory glassware and solvents
Thanks to its peak ultrasonic power of 640 W (nominal power 160 W), the ultrasonic bath is suitable for a wide range of cleaning tasks. Typical applications include the cleaning of instruments (suitability as specified by the instrument manufacturer), the gentle cleaning of laboratory glassware, pipettes, cuvettes and other small parts, as well as the degassing of solvents and aqueous media prior to sensitive analytical processes. Even stubborn residues such as dried-on samples or grease on tools and small parts can be thoroughly removed without damaging the material thanks to the intensive cavitation effect. The level mark on the stainless-steel tank facilitates correct filling with cleaning fluid, whilst the side drain, fitted with a ball valve and hose, allows the bath to be emptied easily and cleanly without the need for decanting, a particular advantage given the frequent changes of fluid required in everyday laboratory work.
Robust construction for continuous use
Both the ultrasonic tank and the housing are made of 1.4301 stainless steel, which ensures high resistance to cleaning agents and disinfectants, as well as a long service life in everyday laboratory use. The drip-proof housing (IP 32 rating) and the side handles facilitate transport and installation, for example on a workbench, a laboratory table or a mobile trolley. The timer covers a range of 1 to 15 minutes (± 5 %) and can alternatively be set to continuous operation, allowing for both short cleaning cycles for delicate parts and longer applications. The permanently fitted, 2-metre-long mains cable ensures flexible positioning at the workstation without the need for additional extension leads. For optimally tailored ultrasonic cleaning, baskets, lids and cleaning and disinfection concentrates are available as separate accessories to complement the unit.

Ultrasonic bath with heating for professional laboratory cleaning
The Bandelin SONOREX SUPER RK 255 H is a heated ultrasonic bath with a nominal volume of 5.5 litres (working capacity 3.8 litres), designed for daily use in laboratories, clinics, dental practices and industry. The integrated SweepTec technology fully automatically readjusts the ultrasonic field, thereby preventing standing waves in the sound field and ensuring a uniform, homogeneous cleaning effect throughout the entire tank. With a nominal ultrasonic power of 160 watts and a peak power of 640 watts, the ultrasonic bath operates reliably even with more stubborn soiling. The thermostatically controlled heater, with a heating power of 280 watts, allows bath temperatures ranging from 30 to 80 °C, making the unit suitable for both gentle and intensive, temperature-assisted cleaning tasks.
Applications in everyday laboratory work
The ultrasonic bath is suitable for numerous applications in everyday laboratory work: from instrument cleaning in medical practices, clinics and sterilisation departments, through to the degassing of solvents prior to analytical processes, and the cleaning of laboratory glassware, pipettes, cuvettes and other small parts. The unit is also well suited for the pre-cleaning of components prior to further processing, for example as a preliminary step before manual final cleaning. Operation is convenient via a rotary knob, which allows the cleaning time and bath temperature to be set directly on the unit without the need for complex menu navigation, an advantage when the unit is used by different members of laboratory staff. The timer covers a range of 1 to 15 minutes (±5 %) and can also be set to continuous operation (∞) when longer cleaning cycles are required. A fill-level mark inside the stainless steel tank makes it easy to fill the tank precisely with the relevant cleaning or disinfecting solution and helps ensure that the 3.8-litre capacity is not exceeded.
Robust construction for continuous use
The tank of the SONOREX SUPER RK 255 H is made of 1.4301 stainless steel with a wall thickness of 1.0 mm and is therefore designed for continuous use in laboratory environments. For emptying, the unit features a drain valve (G 1/4 ball valve) on the right-hand side with a 25 cm long hose, which allows the bath to be changed without tilting the tank. Two side handles facilitate transport within the laboratory, whilst the 2-metre-long mains cable, which is permanently attached to the unit, ensures sufficient freedom of movement at the workstation. With external dimensions of 325 x 175 x 295 mm and a weight of 6.6 kg, the ultrasonic bath can also be easily accommodated on standard laboratory workstations. With an IP 32 protection rating for the housing and CE marking as a Class I medical device in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/745, as well as compliance with the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU), the EMC Directive (2014/30/EU) and the RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU), the SONOREX SUPER RK 255 H is also suitable for regulated laboratory environments.
