Bandelin SONOREX K 6 BL insert basket for DIGITEC DT and SUPER RK

The Bandelin SONOREX DIGITEC DT 156 BH is characterised by a tank measuring 500 mm in length and just 140 mm in width. The bath has a capacity of 9.0 l, features a 600 W heater for temperatures ranging from 20 to 80 °C, and is operated via buttons with a display.Tank dimensions: 500 x 140 x 150 mmThe working capacity is 6.0 l, and the fill-level mark indicates the fill height. The tank and housing are made of 1.4301 stainless steel, with walls 1.0 mm thick. The unit measures 530 x 165 x 300 mm externally and weighs 7.2 kg; it has no handles. The drain is located on the right-hand side as a G ¼ ball valve; a hose connector and hose are supplied, and the 2-metre power cable is permanently attached.Four vibration systems and a 600 W heaterFour vibration systems generate a peak power of 860 W at 35 kHz (rated power 215 W). The heater has a power rating of 600 W and is fitted with delayed-boiling protection and dry-run protection; the current consumption at 230 V is 3.6 A. SweepTec prevents standing waves in the ultrasonic field; the DEGAS rapid degassing function is activated at the start of the cleaning process, and a pulse function is available.Button controls instead of rotary knobsThe SONOREX SUPER RK 156 BH has the same tank but is operated via rotary knobs; it operates within a range of 30 to 80 °C and does not have a DEGAS function. On the DT 156 BH, the temperature is set between 20 and 80 °C and displayed on the screen alongside the setpoint and actual values. The duration can be set to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes (± 5 %); continuous operation is also available. The bath switches off 12 hours after the last input.Basket and accessoriesThe K 6 BL stainless steel insert basket measures 460 x 100 x 50 mm, has a mesh size of 5 x 5 mm and a load capacity of up to 10 kg. The lid D 156 and the perforated lid DE 156 are suitable for it. The immersion depth is adjusted using the handle adjuster GV 3, whilst the silicone studded mat SM 6 is supplied in a pack of two. The range also includes the PHS 12 sample holder, 0.6-litre insert beakers, EK 25 to EK 250 clamps for laboratory flasks, and the FT 6 film test frame (220 x 410 mm).Shallower or deeperWith the same length and width, the unheated SONOREX DIGITEC DT 156 is only 100 mm deep and has a capacity of 6.0 l. Those looking for a larger volume with heating should consider the DT 514 BH with a capacity of 18.7 l.Typical applicationsUltrasonic cleaning of elongated objects in medical practices, laboratories and workshopsRapid degassing of liquidsHomogenisation and emulsificationSample preparation for analysis, sonochemical applicationsInstrument cleaning (Class I medical device in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/745; suitability as specified by the instrument manufacturer)Frequently asked questionsHow long is the tank?500 mm internally, with a width of 140 mm and a depth of 150 mm.How hot does the bath get?Adjustable between 20 and 80 °C; the heating power is 600 W.Which basket is compatible with the unit?The K 6 BL insert basket, 460 x 100 x 50 mm, with a load capacity of up to 10 kg.How heavy is the unit?7.2 kg net, external dimensions 530 x 165 x 300 mm.Technical detailsTotal capacity / Working capacity9.0 l / 6.0 lInternal dimensions of the tank (L x W x D)500 x 140 x 150 mmExternal dimensions (L x W x H)530 x 165 x 300 mm (excluding handles and ball valve, including feet)Weight (net)7.2 kgUltrasonic frequency35 kHzUltrasonic powerPeak power 860 W, rated power 215 W, 4 vibration systemsHeating power600 WTemperature range20 to 80 °CTimer1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 30 min (± 5 %) or continuous operationOperationButtons, wipe-clean, displayFunctionsPulse function, SweepTec, DEGAS rapid degassing, protection against delayed boiling, dry-run protection for the heater, automatic safety shut-off 12 hours after the last button pressTank materialStainless steel 1.4301, 1.0 mmHousing materialStainless steel 1.4301DrainBall valve G ¼, right-hand sideHandlesNoneOperating voltage230 V AC (± 10 %), 50/60 Hz, alternatively 115 V AC (± 10 %), 50/60 Hz (separate order number)Current consumption230 V 3.6 A / 115 V 7.1 AMains cable2 m, permanently attached to the unitLeakage current< 3.5 mADegree of protection / Protection classIP 33 / Class IPermissible ambient temperature5 to 40 °CMedical 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 DIGITEC DT 156 BH ultrasonic bath with heaterPermanently attached mains cable (2 m)Ball valve, hose connector and hose for fitting to the drainThe scope of delivery does not include an insert basket, lid, mat and concentrates.Individual requirements and procurement serviceFor the K 6 BL insert basket, lid or any other model in the SONOREX range, our procurement service is available to handle enquiries.

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.
