40khz vs 120khz or 40 plus 120khz US cleaning?


Has anyone been able to actually get better results from 120khz? Does 40khz only miss anything?

I was using a capful of the Triton. 

The Audio Intelligent by itself does not work anywhere near as good as Audio Intelligent plus ultrasonic.

For vacuum-RCM always remember that YOU and the chemistry is what does a lot of the cleaning. The chemistry w/o good agitation is not going to do as much as it could. The vacuum-RCM rotating platter brush action is actually very slow. And while enzymes can soak aways some soils, unless someone has had sex, used your record for a toilet or a surgical table, they have limits, and they still benefit from agitation - think what happens with a clothes washer.

High quality laundry detergent such as Tide is a blend of surfactants and enzymes. The enzymes are proteins (...ase) that break down biological matter (sex, toilet, surgery). If they were the be all and end all, Tide would not have the lots of surfactants it does - CPID (whatsinproducts.com).

  I’m running an Isonic, and feel it would do a better job running at a slower turn. I looked at the power supply you recommended and I worry about damaging the stock AC motor on the unit.  Not a tech person, so….. otherwise I’m happy with results so far, but seems that slower would be more efficient.  Thanks for all the great info here. 

 

@george53,

So long as it's a DC motor, and the power supply that is provided with it will state that, reducing voltage is a way to reduce motor speed.  Problems come up with high load/torque applications where the low voltage can draw a lot current and potentially damage the motor or overload the power supply such as some pumps.  But the spinner is very low load/torque, so I have never heard of anyone damaging the motor so long as sufficiently large power supply is used.

Provided wall wart for motor only shows input voltage/amps.  Box for motor states DC motor, so I’ll go with that.   Hey great I feel good about this.  There’s no heat provided with this unit so I can at least slow it down.  Thanks for EVERYONE’s input on ultrasonic cleaning.
