Built for Flammable Solvents

SOL XP Series bench top ultrasonic cleaners are fast, efficient and safe to use with flammable solvents such as isopropyl alcohol or acetone in the tank. Our table-top units provide the ultrasonic power density of the largest industrial systems. Fully nitrogen inerted for fire protection. Designed for use in Class I Division 1 hazardous areas.

⚠️ Safety Critical Setup

Using SOL XP with flammable solvents requires proper installation, ventilation, grounding, and EHS compliance. Improper setup can pose serious safety hazards. We strongly recommend calling us before installation to ensure your system is configured correctly and safely for your application.

Remote generator

Electrical panel and generator are located outside the hazardous duty area. When this is not possible, an explosion-proof purged panel can be installed.

Ignition protection

Nitrogen purged transducer enclosure and intrinsically safe circuits with interlocks contribute to safety compliance.

Optional accessories

Containment pan for spills, cooling jacket to reduce solvent evaporation and extend ultrasonic run time, and solvent purification system.

Applications

Industrial maintenance

Degreasing, refurb, and turnaround cleaning where flammable solvents are specified.

Precision production

Parts requiring solvent cleaning before coating, bonding, or assembly.

Repair and overhaul

MRO cells that need repeatable solvent cleaning with controls that satisfy safety audits.

Customer Facility and Equipment Checklist

Power and Classification120V generator voltage; electrical panel outside hazardous duty area; run "Y" sealed rigid conduits from electrical panel to cleaning system inside the Class I Division 1 hazardous area or suitable fume hood.

VentilationApproximately 650 CFM minimum; verify airflow keeps vapors below LEL; facilities engineering determines final flowrate for building and local code.

NitrogenSupply nitrogen, 5 CFM at 33 psi max; significant flow required only at startup.

Bonding and groundingGround the tank, plumbing, and fixtures; verify continuity regularly.

Chemistry handlingStore and label solvents, set change-out schedules, and keep spill response on hand.

Process validationDocument cycle times, temperature, frequency, and inspection steps for repeatability.

FAQs

When do I need SOL XP instead of beaker kits?

Choose SOL XP when parts are too large for 1-liter beakers, solvent volumes are larger, throughput is higher, or your safety program requires explosion-proof certification.

Do I still need ventilation?

Yes. The SOL XP is not a closed system and will release solvent vapor into the air. A suitable exhaust system is a necessity.

How do I ground the system?

System includes electrostatic discharge (ESD) ground strap hookup. Periodically check ground straps for loose connections or breakage. Caution: ALWAYS CONNECT A WRIST STRAP TO THE GROUND PLUG BEFORE OPENING INNER LID AND PLACING PARTS IN THE MACHINE.

Can I use any solvent?

System has been approved for use with isopropyl alcohol (IPA), ethanol, and acetone.

What documentation is available?

We can provide installation guidance and a process checklist; contact us for application-specific SOL XP support.

Are units available with certification for Canada?

Yes, specify Canadian NRTL certification when placing order.
