One option for a large parts washing solution is an Orbital Shaker with:

• a maximum greater than or equal to 200 RPM,
• an amplitude greater than or equal to 20 mm (0.79 in), and
• a platform size of at least 300 x 200 mm (11.81 x 7.87 in).

A plastic container will need to be purchased separately. The platform size with the container
will determine the maximum allowable part size.

A second option for a large parts washing solution is an Ultrasonic Cleaner with:

• a frequency between 37-40 Hz,
• power/volume greater than or equal to 18W/L, and
• a tank size greater than or equal to 327 x 300 x 200 mm (12.87 x 11.81 x 7.87 in).

The tank size determines the maximum allowable part size.
