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

Bandelin SONOREX SUPER RK 106, compact ultrasonic bath for laboratories and medical practices The SONOREX SUPER RK 106 ultrasonic bath, part of Bandelin’s tried-and-tested SONOREX SUPER RK series, is designed for daily use in laboratories, medical practices and manufacturing facilities. With an ultrasonic frequency of 35 kHz, a peak ultrasonic power of 480 W and a nominal power of 120 W, the unit generates intense cavitation that reliably removes even stubborn contaminants. The tank is made of durable 1.4301 stainless steel with a wall thickness of 1.0 mm and offers a total capacity of 5.6 litres, with a usable working volume of 4.0 litres. This makes the RK 106 model a compact yet powerful ultrasonic bath suitable for small to medium-sized batches in everyday laboratory work, without taking up much space on the workbench. The housing is also made entirely of 1.4301 stainless steel, making the unit corrosion-resistant and easy to clean. The compact external dimensions of 265 x 265 x 270 mm allow for flexible installation even in laboratories with limited worktop space, whilst the weight of just 7.4 kg enables easy transport between different workstations. Applications in everyday laboratory work Ultrasonic baths such as the SONOREX SUPER RK 106 are used in many areas of the laboratory: for the gentle cleaning of instruments such as tweezers, scissors and other metal instruments; for the degassing of solvents and aqueous solutions prior to analytical applications such as HPLC or titration; and for cleaning laboratory glassware, pipettes, cuvettes and other small items to remove residues and deposits. The fill-level markings on the tank make it easy to fill it correctly with the cleaning medium, whilst the side-mounted drain with a G ¼ ball valve and a 25 cm long hose allows the tank to be emptied easily and cleanly without having to move or tilt the unit. This straightforward handling proves particularly beneficial in day-to-day operations, especially in laboratories where batches change frequently. As the SONOREX SUPER RK 106 operates without an integrated heater, it is particularly suitable for applications where the cleaning medium is at room temperature or is temperature-controlled separately. SweepTec technology for consistent cleaning results A key feature of the SONOREX SUPER RK 106 is the fully automatic SweepTec function. It prevents the formation of standing waves in the ultrasonic field, thereby ensuring uniform sound distribution and consistent cleaning performance throughout the entire tank volume, regardless of where the items being cleaned are located in the tank. The cleaning duration can be conveniently set using a rotary knob within a range of 1 to 15 minutes (± 5 %); alternatively, continuous operation is available when longer cleaning cycles are required. The robust housing made of 1.4301 stainless steel, the IP 32 protection rating and the 2-metre-long mains cable permanently attached to the unit make the ultrasonic bath a durable and practical piece of equipment suitable for everyday professional use in the laboratory.

A round tank, 240 mm in diameter and 130 mm deep, distinguishes the Bandelin SONOREX DIGITEC DT 106 from the rectangular DIGITEC models. The tank holds 5.6 l, has four vibration systems with a peak power of 480 W at 35 kHz and operates without a heater.Round tankThe tank has an internal diameter of 240 mm and a depth of 130 mm. It is made of 1.4301 stainless steel, 1.0 mm thick, and the housing is made of the same material. The working capacity is 4.0 l; a fill-level mark indicates the fill height. Externally, the unit measures Ø 265 x 270 mm and weighs 5.1 kg; it has no handles.Ultrasonic field without heatingFour vibration systems generate a peak power of 480 W at 35 kHz (nominal power 120 W); the current consumption at 230 V is 0.6 A. There is no heating element. 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. If you require a heating function, compare this with the DT 102 H (3.0 l, 140 W heating power) or the DT 156 BH (9.0 l, 600 W).OperationThe DT 106 is operated using wipe-clean buttons; a display shows the remaining time. Options include 1 to 5 minutes in 1-minute increments, 10, 15 and 30 minutes (± 5 %), as well as continuous operation. The bath switches off 12 hours after the last button press. The drain is a G ¼ ball valve on the right-hand side; the hose connector and hose are included with the unit, and the mains cable (2 m) is permanently fitted.Basket, lid and insertsThe K 6 stainless steel hanging basket has a diameter of 215 mm and a depth of 50 mm (mesh size 5 x 5 mm, load capacity up to 5 kg) and is part of the range of accessories for this model. Also available are the lid D 6, the perforated lid DE 6, 0.6-litre insert beakers made of glass, plastic or stainless steel, the sieve baskets KD 0 and PD 04, and the sieve holder SH 7. The FT 4 film test frame and the FL 4 film cut-outs are used to test the bath.Alternative with an oblong tankThe SONOREX DIGITEC DT 156 offers a similar volume in an elongated design, with a capacity of 6.0 l and a tank measuring 500 x 140 x 100 mm. The DT 106 has a tank diameter of 240 mm; the tank of the DT 156 is 140 mm wide and 500 mm long.Typical applicationsCleaning of objects of various shapes, types and sizesRapid degassing of liquids and sample preparation for analysisHomogenisation, emulsificationSonochemical applications such as radical generationInstrument cleaning (Class I medical device in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/745; suitability as specified by the instrument manufacturer)Frequently asked questionsWhat shape is the bath?Round, 240 mm in diameter and 130 mm deep.Does it have a heating element?No. For a heated bath of this size, other models in the DIGITEC range are available.Which basket is compatible with the unit?The K 6 stainless steel hanging basket, 215 mm in diameter and 50 mm deep, with a load capacity of up to 5 kg.What is the current consumption?0.6 A at 230 V, 1.1 A at 115 V.Technical detailsTotal capacity / Working capacity5.6 l / 4.0 lInternal dimensions of tank (Ø x D)Ø 240 x 130 mmExternal dimensions (Ø x H)Ø 265 x 270 mm (excluding ball valve, including feet)Weight (net)5.1 kgUltrasonic frequency35 kHzUltrasonic powerPeak power 480 W, nominal power 120 W, 4 vibration systemsTimer1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 30 min (± 5 %) or continuous operationOperationButtons, wipe-clean, displayFunctionsPulse function, SweepTec, DEGAS rapid degassing, 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 0.6 A / 115 V 1.1 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 dimensions340 x 340 x 340 mmScope of delivery1x Bandelin SONOREX DIGITEC DT 106 ultrasonic bathPermanently attached mains cable (2 m)Ball valve, hose connector and hose for fitting to the drainThe hanging basket, lid, insert beakers and concentrates are not included in the scope of delivery.Individual requirements and procurement serviceOur procurement service can enquire on your behalf about a round basket, lid, sieve holder or another SONOREX bath.
