Ultrasonic baths

Unique shaking mechanism

Grant XB and MXB ultrasonic baths offer the performance and reliability to meet the demands of many scientific and industrial applications.

With two alternative series of ultrasonic baths, Grant offers the solution to all application needs. The MXB's feature microprocessor control to facilitate digital setting and display of temperature and time.

Temperature controlled operation

MXB series: temperature setting range 5°C above ambient to 80°C


Timed operation

MXB series sonic's continuous or timed, from 0.1 to 99.9 minutes


High Performance

high power industrial piezoelectric transducers guarantee efficient operation
transducers are mounted in the optimum configuration to ensure that ultrasonic power is transmitted evenly throughout the tank, for consistent ultrasonic action in all parts of even the largest bath
sophisticated feedback circuit matches operating power to tank load, ensuring peak efficiency at all times


sizes: XB2, XB3, MXB6, MXB14 and MXB22 litres


Design features

 baths are designed to be placed 'end-on' rather than 'sideways' on the bench for convenient access and observation, and for efficient utilisation of bench space

 MXB14 and MXB22 litre baths have a drain for easy emptying
a recessed control panel protects the controls from water spillage and accidental alteration

 XB and MXB ultrasonic baths are robust and reliable, designed to stand up to everyday wear and tear

Ultrasonic - Ultra-efficient

Piezoelectric transducers emit continuous alternating pressure through the liquid in the bath. The waves of high and low pressure cause bubbles to form, to increase in size and then to collapse violently. This process, called cavitation, acts on any object placed in the bath.

The gentle scrubbing action provides consistently quick and thorough cleaning. Cavitation works wherever an object is in contact with the liquid, cleaning even the most intricate and fragile objects inside and out. Ultrasonic cleaning gives a high standard of cleanliness in a fraction of the time required by conventional cleaning methods. It is also safer than manual cleaning if there is any danger of contamination or infection.

Ultrasonic action is also used to de-gas liquids before use in chromatography, to prevent cavitation in high pressure pumps, and to modify reactions in sonochemistry, such as inducing rapid crystallisation of materials.

Safety

MXB6, MXB14 and MXB22 litre baths have a fixed resettable over temperature cut-out
