Hinged Lid for 1900BT Ultrasonic Cleaner

March 01, 2015

Omegasonics has added a hinged-lid as standard to its compact 1900BT cleaning unit. The enhancement facilitates single-person operation and helps prevent wet-surface hazards.

Omegasonics' 1900BT is a 20-gallon, Plug & Play unit developed for cleaning 3D prototype parts. Its low-profile design and insulated tank make the unit compact and quiet enough to function in an office setting. The hinged lid, when raised, directs fluids back into the tank, keeping the surrounding floor dry, preventing damage and the creation of a slip hazard. It also eliminates the issue of misplaced lids, because the operator does not need to completely remove and relocate the cover to access the tank.

"Since one benefit of ultrasonic cleaning systems is that one person can do the work of three in less than one-third of the time, the hinged lid is a great option for our 1900BT office unit," said Frank Pedeflous, President of Omegasonics. "It can be easily lifted with one hand, and then remain in place to keep liquid contained in the tank instead of dripping onto the adjacent flooring and creating a slip risk."

The1900BT is a hybrid between traditional bench top cleaners and portable floor models. It is ideally suited for ultrasonic applications where filtration is not required. Standard features of this model include a digital timer and temperature control.
