Elma Elmasonic Easy 30H Ultrasonic Bath with Heating, 2.7 L, 37 kHz, 1117697

Not every cleaning task in the laboratory requires a digital display and programme memory. For pipette tips, small glassware or tools, a simple ultrasonic bath with fixed time settings is often sufficient. With a tank capacity of 2.7 l and a built-in heater, the Elma Elmasonic Easy 30H offers precisely this basic set-up for the laboratory bench, without controls that are not needed in day-to-day use anyway. The Easy series is designed for simple applications where a reliable, quick-to-use device is more important than programmability or multiple ultrasonic modes.

Operation via a rotary knob

Instead of a digital display and menus, the Easy 30H features an analogue rotary knob with ten fixed time settings ranging from 1 to 30 minutes, as well as continuous operation for up to 6 hours. LED indicators show the operating status; two ultrasonic modes, Eco and Dynamic, cover the vast majority of laboratory cleaning tasks. Those who only clean occasionally or use the unit at different workstations can use it without any training; a second glance at the manual is rarely necessary, and even new staff can be shown how to use it quickly.

Compact bath for the laboratory bench

The tank has a capacity of 2.7 l; a working volume of 1.6 l is recommended, with internal dimensions of 220 x 120 x 95 mm. This is sufficient for pipette tips, small glassware, laboratory cutlery or tools, without the need to use a large amount of cleaning solution. A modular cleaning basket 30 (item no. 1108916) holds the items above the base of the tank; an insert lid 30/40 (item no. 1110262) or a stainless steel lid 30/40 (item no. 1111930) are available as accessories. For larger quantities of similar small parts, a suitable Hostalen tank is also available, which is used in size 30 for the Select and P models as well.

Heating and performance

The integrated heater ranges from 25 to 80 degrees Celsius with a heating power of 200 watts; the ultrasonic power is 80 watts effective with a peak power of 320 watts. The Easy 30H does not have a drain connection; to empty it, the tank is tilted or the water is scooped out into a separate container. For a unit of this size, this is generally not a disadvantage in everyday laboratory use, as the volume of water remains small. The IP20 protection rating also means that the housing itself is not designed to withstand splashing water; the unit must therefore be placed on a dry surface.

Cleaning in day-to-day use

A typical cleaning cycle begins by adding the cleaning solution directly into the tank; the appropriate time setting is then selected using the rotary knob, depending on the level of soiling, this ranges from a few minutes to continuous operation. The ‘Dynamic’ mode is suitable for more stubborn residues, whilst ‘Eco’ is designed for gentler routine cleaning with lower energy consumption. As no programmes are saved, the time setting is adjusted each time using the rotary knob; this does not involve any additional effort when there are only a few, clearly recurring cleaning steps.

Accessories for different workpieces

Depending on the items to be cleaned, the Easy 30H can be used with a range of accessories. The modular cleaning basket 30 is suitable for loose small parts that should not rest directly on the bottom of the tank; the insert lid 30/40 seals the tank during operation without obstructing access to the control panel. The optional Hostalen tank serves as an inner liner and protects the stainless steel tank when using more aggressive cleaning agents or changing the bath frequently; this really pays off, particularly with daily use. For training workshops and test laboratories where different tools and small parts are cleaned one after the other, this allows flexible operation using the same basic unit, without the need to maintain a separate tank for each type of part.

Choice within the Elma series

Within the Easy series, the models differ primarily in tank size; the smaller Easy 10H has a capacity of 0.9 l for very small parts. Those requiring additional programmable drains or a sweep function will find these in the Select series, whilst those wishing to carry out analytical precision cleaning using two frequencies, 37 and 80 kHz, will find what they need in the P series. LT Laborhandel also stocks Bandelin SONOREX ultrasonic baths for laboratories that already use this range of equipment.
