Product information "Bandelin SONOREX SUPER RK 1028 CH ultrasonic bath with heating, 1.4404 tank, 45 litres, 35 kHz, 143"
Larger batches and a cleaning medium that places greater demands on the standard tank: Bandelin offers the SONOREX SUPER RK 1028 CH for this combination. It combines a welded tank made of 1.4404 stainless steel (AISI 316L) with a heating element that heats the bath to up to 80 °C, with a total capacity of 45 litres and a working capacity of 30 litres. Like the other models in the SUPER-RK series, it is classified as a Class I medical device in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and is designed for use in laboratories, medical practices and workshops.
Heater and durable bath in a single unit
The heating power is 1,450 watts when operating at 230 volts or 1,400 watts at 115 volts, and the bath temperature can be continuously adjusted between 30 and 80 °C; a dry-run protection feature switches off the heater if the water level is too low. As with the RK 1028 C, the tank is made of welded 1.4404 steel with a thickness of 2.0 mm; compared to the standard tank made of 1.4301, it is generally more resistant to chlorides and more aggressive cleaning agents. At 35 kHz, the unit delivers a peak power of 1,200 watts at a rated power of 300 watts via eight transducer systems, distributed by the automatic SweepTec function to prevent standing waves in the ultrasonic field.
Selection guide: with or without heating, which tank
Anyone who regularly works with heat and simultaneously requires a more robust tank, for example, for frequent changes of concentrate, will be well served by the RK 1028 CH. If the standard 1.4301 tank is sufficient but a heating element is still required, the RK 1028 H, with a total capacity of 28 litres, is the more economical choice. If heating is not required but a more robust bath is, the RK 1028 C remains the option as an unheated variant with the same bath specifications. For smaller batches, Bandelin offers, amongst others, the RK 514 BH with a capacity of 18.7 litres and the RK 156 BH with a narrow, elongated basin for 9 litres within the SUPER-RK range.
Use and maintenance
The tank is filled to a working capacity of 30 litres; the total volume of 45 litres applies to the tank filled to the brim without a load. According to the data sheet, the RK 1028 CH is fitted with a 50 cm long hose connected to the G 1/2 ball valve on the left-hand side of the unit, which facilitates changing the medium via an external container. The hanging basket and lid are not included in the Scope of delivery; the RK 1028 CH is compatible with baskets K 28 C, K 28 CS, K 28 CA or K 28 CV, together with lids D 1028 C or D 1028 CS. The power cable is 2 metres long and permanently fitted; the unit can be operated at either 230 V or 115 V at 50/60 Hz.
Typical applications
- Heated cleaning of large batches of laboratory glassware and instruments
- Removal of grease and dried-on residues at elevated temperatures
- Use with more aggressive cleaning concentrates thanks to the robust tank
- Preparation and degassing of solvents prior to analytical procedures
