132 kHz High Frequency Ultrasonic Cleaners Now Available at CleanerVinyl

Exciting news! Our new 132 kHz high-frequency ultrasonic cleaners are now available!

Give your vinyl records a deeper clean at a higher frequency. How does this work? The size of the cavitation bubbles generated by the ultrasonic waves directly depends on the frequency. Higher frequency = shorter wavelength = smaller bubbles. And smaller bubbles can penetrate smaller features, which means they can get deeper down into the grooves of records. 

And this is not the only advantage. Smaller cavitation bubbles also are superior when it comes to removal of chemical contamination, such as release agents left behind after the pressing process.

A great way to integrate a high-frequency cleaner into your vinyl record cleaning recipe is to use it in a dual-frequency cleaning set-up. Since low frequencies are better for the removal of more coarse contamination such as dust and dirt particles, a dual-frequency setup gives you the best of both worlds.

First do a low-frequency pre-clean that removes most of the coarse stuff, and then do a finishing run at 132 kHz to remove all contamination even from the finest features in your grooves.

The CleanerVinyl Pro System has been designed for two-bath recipes, since the Pro motor unit can be placed directly on the rim of a cleaner. Put the Lift-Pro and Micron filtration system on the 132 kHz cleaner, and use a 40 kHz cleaner as the low-frequency pre-clean station:

Once the low-frequency pre-clean on the 40 kHz unit is done, simply move the motor unit over to the 132 kHz set-up and do the final cleaning step. Then lift the records into the drying position and plug in the fan. That way you can clean up to 12 records within 35-45 min and never touch a wet record.
