Product information "Bandelin SONOREX K 10 B insert basket for DIGITEC DT and SUPER RK"
The K 10 B insert basket holds the items to be sonicated in 2 ultrasonic baths of the SONOREX DIGITEC DT and SUPER RK series. Nothing may lie on the tank bottom during operation, as abrasion can occur between the items and the oscillating tank. According to Bandelin, the basket keeps the items in the optimum area of the cavitation field, 1 to 2 cm above the bottom. For rinsing, it can be lifted out without the user coming into contact with the sonication liquid. The inner dimensions (L x W x D) are 250 x 195 x 50 mm.
Ultrasonic baths with a simple rotary knob reach their limits as soon as several batches are to be run in succession at exactly the same temperature. The Bandelin SONOREX DIGITEC DT 512 H solves this problem with push-button controls and an LED display that shows the remaining time as well as the setpoint and actual bath temperature. With a total volume of 13.0 l and a working capacity of 8.7 l, this ultrasonic bath is suitable for medium-sized batches from laboratories, workshops or medical practices, such as laboratory glassware, tools or small parts from manufacturing.Digital control with LED displayThe buttons replace the rotary knob found on the SUPER-RK series, whilst an LED display simultaneously shows the remaining cleaning time as well as the setpoint and actual temperature values. The time can be set in fixed increments of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes; alternatively, continuous operation is available, in each case with a tolerance of ±5 %. If the appliance remains unused for 12 hours without any buttons being pressed, the automatic safety shut-off switches it off.SweepTec, DEGAS and heating up to 80 °CThe fully automatic SweepTec function distributes the ultrasound evenly throughout the tank and prevents standing waves, which would otherwise lead to uneven cleaning. DEGAS rapidly degasses freshly prepared cleaning fluid, reducing the waiting time until the ultrasound takes full effect. The heating system covers a range of 20 to 80 °C and features built-in protection against delayed boiling and dry-run protection. With a nominal power of 215 watts and a peak power of 860 watts, distributed across four vibration systems, the bath generates cavitation.Which DIGITEC model is suitable: DT 100 H or DT 512 HWithin the DIGITEC range, the models differ primarily in terms of volume. The DT 100 H has a capacity of 3.0 l and is suitable for small quantities, such as individual tools, spectacles or small laboratory parts. The DT 512 H, with a total volume of 13.0 l and a working capacity of 8.7 l, is designed for medium-sized batches, such as several laboratory bottles at once or larger series of workpieces. Anyone who regularly cleans larger quantities or bulkier parts will find that the DT 512 H eliminates the need for multiple cycles.Differences from the SUPER RK and smart STThe SUPER RK series is operated via a traditional rotary knob, without a digital display or DEGAS function. The smart ST series goes one step further than DIGITEC, featuring a touchscreen, finely adjustable power settings from 10 to 100 % in 1 % increments, and a system bus interface for a docking station. The DIGITEC DT 512 H falls technically between the two, featuring a digital time and temperature display, but without a touchscreen or the additional programme memory of the smart ST range. The difference to the rotary-knob series is also evident in the protection rating: IP 33 instead of IP 32 for the SUPER RK.Day-to-day use and maintenanceThe drain is controlled via a G 1/2 ball valve on the left-hand side, which makes it easier to change the cleaning medium between batches. The basket and lid are not included in the scope of delivery; the K 10 B insert basket and the D 510 lid are suitable for the DT 512 H. The power cable, 2 metres long, is permanently attached to the unit; operation is possible at either 230 V or 115 V at 50/60 Hz. Protection class I and the heater’s dry-run protection are designed for daily laboratory use.Typical applicationsCleaning of laboratory glassware and pipettes in medium-sized batchesProcessing of tools and small parts in the workshopPre-cleaning of components prior to further processingCleaning tasks in medical practices and laboratories with varying temperature requirementsFrequently asked questionsIs the SONOREX DIGITEC DT 512 H a medical device?Yes, it is classified as a Class I medical device in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/745; it is also subject to the Low Voltage, EMC and RoHS Directives.Are the basket and lid included in the scope of delivery?No. The scope of delivery comprises the ultrasonic bath with a fixed mains cable and operating instructions; the K 10 B basket and D 510 lid are available separately.How does the DT 512 H differ from the smaller DT 100 H?With a total volume of 13.0 l and a nominal power of 215 watts, the DT 512 H has significantly more capacity than the DT 100 H, which has a volume of 3.0 l and a nominal power of 80 watts, making it suitable for larger batches or multiple batches at the same time.How is the cleaning bath changed?Via the G 1/2 ball valve on the left-hand side of the unit.Does the unit also run on 115 volts?Yes, the mains connection is designed for either 230 V or 115 V at 50/60 Hz.Technical detailsTotal volume13.0 lWorking capacity8.7 lInternal dimensions of the tank (L x W x D)300 x 240 x 200 mmExternal dimensions (L x W x H)325 x 265 x 350 mm (excluding handles/ball valve, including feet)Weightnet 8.2 kg / gross 10.2 kgTank materialStainless steel 1.4301, 1.0 mmUltrasonic frequency35 kHzUltrasonic power215 W nominal power, 860 W peak power, 4 vibration systemsHeating power400 WTemperature range20 to 80 °CTimer1/2/3/4/5/10/15/30 minutes (±5 %) or continuous operation, automatic safety shut-off after 12 hoursOperationButtons, LED display showing remaining time and setpoint/actual bath temperatureFunctionsSweepTec, DEGAS rapid degassing, pulse function, protection against delayed boiling, dry-run protection heaterDrainBall valve G 1/2, left-hand sideMains connection230 V~ (±10 %), 50/60 Hz, optionally 115 V~, 2 m fixed mains lead, protection class ICurrent consumption230 V 2.7 A / 115 V 5.4 AProtection ratingIP 33ClassificationClass I medical device (EU 2017/745)Scope of delivery1x Bandelin SONOREX DIGITEC DT 512 H ultrasonic bathFixed mains lead (2 m)Instructions for useThe K 10 B insert basket and D 510 lid are not included in the scope of delivery and are available separately.Individual requirements and procurement serviceFor suitable baskets, lids or cleaning concentrates for the DIGITEC range, please contact our procurement service.
SONOREX SUPER RK 512 H ultrasonic bath with heating for everyday laboratory use
The SONOREX SUPER RK 512 H is an ultrasonic bath with heating designed for cleaning tasks in everyday laboratory and practice work. With a total volume of 13 litres and a usable working capacity of 8.7 litres, the stainless steel tank offers sufficient space for laboratory glassware, small parts and instruments. The ultrasonic cleaning operates at a frequency of 35 kHz with a peak power of 860 W and an effective nominal power of 215 W, reliably and gently removing adhering dirt, residues and deposits. Thanks to its compact external dimensions of 325 x 265 x 350 mm, the ultrasonic bath can be flexibly positioned on laboratory benches, workbenches or in smaller cleaning stations without taking up much space. Thanks to the combination of powerful ultrasonic cleaning and adjustable heating, the SONOREX SUPER RK 512 H is suitable both for occasional use at a single workstation and for regular use in laboratories with a higher throughput of small parts and glassware requiring cleaning.
Laboratory applications
Typical applications for this ultrasonic bath 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 comparatively large working capacity of 8.7 litres, the unit is also suitable for the routine cleaning of pipettes, sample vessels and other small parts used in everyday laboratory work. The integrated heater allows temperature control from 30 to 80 °C, which further enhances the cleaning effect on more stubborn residues and enables a process temperature tailored to the specific application and cleaning agent. The cleaning duration and bath temperature can be set directly and easily on the unit using the rotary knob; the timer covers a range of 1 to 15 minutes (±5 %) as well as continuous operation, so that both short cleaning cycles and longer applications can be carried out. A fill-level mark inside the tank facilitates correct and repeatable filling with cleaning fluid.
Robust construction for continuous use
The tank and housing of the ultrasonic bath are made of 1.4301 stainless steel; the ultrasonic tank itself has a wall thickness of 1.0 mm. A G 1/2 ball valve on the side, with a hose (packed separately, for mounting), allows the cleaning fluid to be drained easily and cleanly without having to lift or tilt the tank. Handles on the sides make it easy to move the unit, whilst the fixed, 2-metre-long mains cable ensures straightforward connection to a 230 V power supply. With an IP 32 protection rating, the housing is protected against foreign bodies larger than 2.5 mm and dripping water falling at an angle. The unit is CE-marked as a Class I medical device in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and also complies with the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
