Bandelin SONOREX K 28 insert basket for SUPER RK and DIGITEC DT

Bandelin SONOREX SUPER RK 1028 Ultrasonic Bath for Laboratories and Clinics The Bandelin SONOREX SUPER RK 1028 ultrasonic bath is a high-performance cleaning system from the SUPER-RK series, designed for professional use in laboratories, hospitals and industry. With a tank capacity of 28 litres and a usable working volume of 19 litres, this ultrasonic bath offers sufficient space for larger batches of laboratory glassware, instruments and small parts. The tank is made of 1.4301 stainless steel with a wall thickness of 1.0 mm and is therefore designed for continuous use in demanding laboratory environments where cleaning takes place several times a day. Typical applications for this ultrasonic bath include the gentle cleaning of laboratory glassware and small parts, the cleaning of instruments in medical practices and hospitals, and the degassing of solvents prior to analytical processes. Thanks to the combination of a peak power of 1,200 W and a rated power of 300 W at an operating frequency of 35 kHz, the unit achieves an intensive yet gentle cavitation effect that works reliably even on stubborn residues on pipettes, beakers and tools. The generous tank capacity of 28 litres is also well suited to the simultaneous cleaning of several instruments or vessels in a single cycle, which noticeably increases throughput in day-to-day laboratory work. SweepTec technology and intuitive operation A key feature is the fully automatic SweepTec function, which prevents standing waves in the ultrasonic field and thus ensures uniform cleaning performance throughout the entire tank volume, including in the peripheral areas of the tank, which are often cleaned less thoroughly in simpler ultrasonic baths. Operation is via a simple rotary knob for setting the cleaning duration, selectable between 1 and 15 minutes (± 5 %) or in continuous operation for longer cleaning cycles. A fill-level mark facilitates correct filling with cleaning or disinfectant solution, whilst the G 3/4 ball valve fitted on the side, complete with a 50 cm hose, allows for straightforward and back-friendly emptying of the tank. Side handles ensure safe transport and handling during everyday laboratory use, whilst the 2-metre power cable, which is permanently attached to the unit, provides additional flexibility when positioning the unit at the workstation. Classified as a Class I medical device in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and with an IP 32 protection rating, the SONOREX SUPER RK 1028 is also suitable for regulated environments such as medical practices or clinics, where traceability and documentation requirements are important.

The Bandelin SONOREX DIGITEC DT 1028 H has a 500 mm long tank, a capacity of 28 l and a heating power of 1,300 W. The bath temperature can be set between 20 and 80 °C and is shown on the display as both the setpoint and the actual value.Tank and housingThe interior dimensions of the tank are 500 x 300 x 200 mm; it is made of 1.0 mm thick 1.4301 stainless steel, and the housing is made of the same material. The working capacity is 19.0 l; the fill level mark indicates the fill height. The unit measures 535 x 325 x 400 mm externally and weighs 14.7 kg. A G ½ ball valve is fitted at the drain on the left-hand side; a hose connector and hose are included with the unit.Ultrasonic field and heatingEight vibration systems deliver a peak power of 1,200 W at 35 kHz (300 W nominal power). SweepTec prevents standing waves in the ultrasonic field. The DEGAS rapid degassing function is activated at the start of the cleaning process and degasses the bath fluid; the pulse function complements the programme. The 1,300 W heating system is protected against delayed boiling and by dry-run protection. The current consumption is 7.0 A at 230 V and 14.0 A at 115 V.Day-to-day operationThe control panel can be wiped clean. A timer with settings of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes (± 5 %) and a continuous operation mode are available. If someone forgets about the bath, it switches itself off 12 hours after the last button press. The handles on the sides make it easy to carry; the power cable is 2 m long and permanently attached.DT 1028 H or DT 1028The same tank is available without a heater as the SONOREX DIGITEC DT 1028 (14.0 kg, current consumption of just 1.4 A at 230 V). If you need to heat cleaning solutions, choose the H version. The DT 1028 CH features 2.0 mm thick, welded 1.4404 stainless steel and has a capacity of 45 l.Suitable accessoriesFor the DT 1028 H, the K 28 stainless steel insert basket (455 x 245 x 50 mm, mesh size 5 x 5 mm, load capacity up to 10 kg) and the D 1028 lid are available. The K 29 EM insert basket (470 x 240 x 45 mm, mesh size 4 x 4 mm, for standard instruments) requires the KT 30 basket support.

Anyone wishing to clean large quantities of laboratory glassware, instruments or workpieces needs a basin that holds more than a tabletop unit, yet still fits on the worktop. The Bandelin SONOREX SUPER RK 1028 H offers exactly this intermediate size: a total capacity of 28 litres, a working capacity of 19 litres and a heater that brings the bath up to 80 °C. Bandelin lists this ultrasonic bath with heating as a Class I medical device in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/745. The suitability of instruments for cleaning depends on the instrument manufacturer’s specifications.Heated cleaning with a uniform ultrasonic fieldThe 1,300-watt heater regulates the bath temperature continuously between 30 and 80 °C and switches off via the dry-run protection if the water level is too low. Warmer water dissolves fats and dried-on residues more quickly than cold water, which is why the heating function is particularly useful for soiling that comes away only slowly at room temperature. The SweepTec function automatically modulates the ultrasonic field and prevents standing waves in the tank, so that the cavitation effect also reaches the edge areas of the tank. At an operating frequency of 35 kHz, the unit achieves a peak power of 1200 watts with a nominal power of 300 watts; in addition, a pulse function can be activated to provide a brief surge of energy.Selection guide: When is the RK 1028 H worthwhile?When choosing a model from the SUPER-RK series, the batch size is the key factor. With a working capacity of 19 litres, the RK 1028 H is sufficient for several flasks, beakers or a larger number of small parts in a single cleaning cycle; for individual instruments or small batches, the more compact models in the range, such as the RK 100 H with a 3-litre capacity or the RK 510 H with a 9.7-litre capacity, are often sufficient. For cleaning agents that have a more corrosive effect on the standard tank, for example, when more aggressive concentrates are used frequently, the sister models RK 1028 C and RK 1028 CH are available with a welded tank made from molybdenum-alloyed stainless steel 1.4404, which is generally more resistant to chlorides than the 1.4301 material used here. The tank of the RK 1028 H is 1.0 mm thick.The RK 1028 range and alternativesWithin the 1028 size range, the three variants differ only in terms of tank material and heating element: The RK 1028 H features the standard 1.4301 tank and a heating element; the RK 1028 C features the higher-grade 1.4404 tank without a heating element; and the RK 1028 CH combines both. Those who prefer a digital display and push-button controls to a rotary knob will find comparable technology in Bandelin’s SONOREX-DIGITEC range, featuring an LED display for setpoint and actual temperature values; however, this is currently only available in smaller sizes up to 13 litres. In addition to Bandelin, there are also ultrasonic baths from Elma, such as the Elmasonic P series with switchable dual-frequency technology, for laboratories that wish to switch between two frequencies rather than operating continuously at 35 kHz.Use and maintenanceTo ensure consistent cleaning results, the tank should be filled to a working capacity of 19 litres, not to the total volume of 28 litres; the total volume refers to the tank filled to the brim without the items to be cleaned. To change the cleaning solution, the bath can be drained via the ball valve on the drain, specified in the data sheet as G 1/2 inch on the left-hand side of the unit. Cleaning and disinfectant concentrates for the SONOREX series are available as accessories and are not included in the scope of delivery, nor are the insert basket and lid. The fixed power cable is 2 metres long; the unit operates on either 230 V or 115 V, at 50/60 Hz in each case.Typical applicationsCleaning and preparation of laboratory glassware such as flasks, beakers and pipettesCleaning of instruments, the suitability of the instruments depends on the instrument manufacturer’s specificationsDegassing of solvents prior to analytical proceduresCleaning of small parts and tools in workshops and industryFrequently asked questionsHow hot can the water get during operation?The heating system regulates the temperature continuously between 30 and 80 °C; a dry-run protection feature switches the heating off if the water level is too low.Are the basket and lid included in the scope of delivery?No, both are available as accessories; the K 28 insert basket and the D 1028 lid are suitable.Can the unit also be operated at 115 volts?Yes, the RK 1028 H is designed to operate at either 230 V or 115 V, at 50/60 Hz in each case.Is the unit suitable for use in a dental practice?Bandelin classifies the RK 1028 H as a Class I medical device in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/745. The suitability of the instruments depends on the instrument manufacturer’s specifications.Technical detailsTotal capacity / Working capacity28.0 l / 19.0 lInternal dimensions of tank (L x W x D)500 x 300 x 200 mmExternal dimensions (L x W x H)535 x 325 x 400 mm, excluding handles/ball valve, including feetWeight (net)14.7 kgShipping weight (gross)17.3 kgUltrasonic frequency35 kHzUltrasonic powerPeak power 1,200 W, nominal power 300 W, 8 vibration systemsHeating power1,300 WTemperature range30 to 80 °C, dry-run protection for the heating elementTimer1 to 15 minutes (±5 %) or continuous operationOperationRotary knobFunctionsSweepTec, pulse functionTank materialStainless steel 1.4301, thickness 1.0 mmHousing materialStainless steel 1.4301DrainBall valve G 1/2, left-hand side (as per data sheet)Mains connection230 V~ (±10 %), 50/60 Hz, optionally 115 V~, 2 m fixed mains lead, protection class ICurrent consumption230 V 7.0 A / 115 V 14.0 AProtection ratingIP 32Packaging dimensions660 x 455 x 460 mmMedical device classClass I in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/745Scope of delivery1x Bandelin SONOREX SUPER RK 1028 H ultrasonic bath with heatingPermanently attached mains lead (2 m)Instructions for useThe K 28 insert basket and D 1028 lid are not included in the scope of delivery and are available separately as accessories.Individual requirements and procurement serviceOur procurement service can assist you in finding a suitable insert basket, lid or cleaning concentrates for the SONOREX SUPER RK 1028 H.

The Bandelin SONOREX DIGITEC DT 1028 is the 28-litre bath in the DIGITEC range without a heating element. The tank measures 500 x 300 x 200 mm; eight vibration systems operate at 35 kHz with a peak power of 1,200 W, and the current consumption is 1.4 A at 230 V.Designed without a heaterThe DT 1028 has neither a heating element nor a temperature preset. Consequently, it lacks the boiling delay protection and dry-run protection of the heating; the list of functions includes a pulse function, SweepTec, DEGAS rapid degassing and an automatic shut-off 12 hours after the last button press. If you wish to heat the bath fluid, take a look at the heated DT 1028 H, which features the same tank and 1,300 W of heating power.Tank and dimensionsInside, the tank measures 500 x 300 x 200 mm and is made from 1.0 mm thick 1.4301 stainless steel. The housing is made from the same material. The total capacity is 28.0 l, the working capacity 19.0 l, and there is a fill level mark. Externally, the unit measures 535 x 325 x 400 mm and weighs 14.0 kg. The G ½ ball valve is located on the left-hand side of the drain; a hose connector and hose are supplied.Ultrasonic treatment and operationThe sound field is generated at 35 kHz with a peak power of 1,200 W and a nominal power of 300 W. SweepTec prevents standing waves. The DEGAS function degasses the liquid at the start of the cleaning process. The wipe-clean buttons allow you to select 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes (± 5 %) or continuous operation; the display shows the remaining time. The handles are located on the sides; the 2-metre power cable is permanently attached.Which size is suitable?With just under half the capacity, the SONOREX DIGITEC DT 514, at 13.5 l, is a suitable option. The DT 1028 CH is larger, with a capacity of 45 l, and also features a 1,450 W heater. The DT 1028 is suitable if a 28-litre tank is required and the bath fluid does not need to be heated.AccessoriesThe DT 1028’s range of accessories includes the K 28 insert basket (455 x 245 x 50 mm, mesh size 5 x 5 mm, load capacity up to 10 kg), the D 1028 lid and the GH 28 apparatus holder.
