3110L Ultrasonic Cleaning Tank with Filtration | Immersible Transducer System for Marine Engine Parts

The KF1576 is not a standard industrial ultrasonic cleaner — it is a 3110L ultrasonic cleaning tank with a filtration system and immersible transducers, purpose-built for a marine engineering facility cleaning large diesel engine cylinder heads, aftercoolers, box coolers, and associated components. This ultrasonic cleaning tank measures 2400×1440×900mm, large enough to fully submerge parts weighing hundreds of kilograms and exceeding two metres in any dimension. Instead of transducers bonded to the walls, the system uses immersible plates that lift out individually for service.

For marine, offshore, heavy-industrial, and power-generation operations, the value is in scale plus serviceability. A 3110-litre ultrasonic cleaning tank submerges a complete cylinder head in one pass, and a secondary 800×400×500mm filtration tank keeps the solution clear through extended runs — important when changing three thousand litres of chemistry is a major operational event. Separate generator cabinets drive the immersible plate arrays, so a single plate can be serviced without draining the tank or stopping the rest of the system.

Extra Large Ultrasonic Cleaning System Features

3110-Litre Main Ultrasonic Cleaning Tank

The main tank measures 2400×1440×900mm internally and fits complete marine diesel cylinder heads, aftercoolers, and box coolers in a single submersion. At this scale, whole-component cleaning replaces the sectioning and handling that smaller tanks force.

Immersible Ultrasonic Transducer Configuration

Eight side-mounted 1800W plates (two per side) and four bottom-mounted 3600W plates provide 28.8KW of total ultrasonic power. Plates are individually removable, so a failed unit lifts out for service while the rest keep running.

2.5mm SUS304 Stainless Steel Construction

The heavy-gauge tank is built for decades of industrial service, with reinforced walls to withstand the hydrostatic pressure of 3110 litres. Wall thickness and reinforcement, not a standard shell, determine structural life at this volume.

28kHz Operating Frequency

The system runs at 28kHz, selected for aggressive cavitation on heavy carbon deposits, baked lubricating oils, and marine fouling. The frequency is fixed at build to match the contaminant profile of the application.

Continuous Filtration System

A secondary tank (800×400×500mm) with a circulation pump and filtration media maintains solution cleanliness during extended production runs, extending working life and reducing chemistry and disposal costs.

72KW Heating Elements (Three-Phase)

Industrial-scale heating supports a 3110-litre solution volume, maintaining degreasing temperatures under continuous load. Elements are distributed for even heating across the tank.

Separate Generator Cabinets

Multiple ultrasonic generators are distributed to drive the immersible plate arrays and are modular for serviceability — a cabinet can be isolated without stopping the whole system.

Applications

Marine Diesel Engines

Cylinder heads, cylinder liners, aftercoolers, box coolers, exhaust valve cages, and turbocharger components are cleaned in one submersion, removing carbon, scale, and fouling that manual methods cannot reach.

Offshore Oil & Gas

Large valve bodies, riser components, and subsea equipment housings are cleaned of drilling mud, scale, and preservative without disassembly beyond what access requires.

Heavy Industrial Manufacturing

Large castings, fabrications, and pressure-vessel components are submerged whole, so deposits and scale release uniformly rather than in the patchwork a smaller tank forces.

Power Generation

Turbine casings, generator housings, and large heat-exchanger cores are cleaned of deposits and fouling, restoring performance without disassembly-heavy downtime.

This machine exists because a customer needed an ultrasonic tank for workshop cleaning of marine diesel engine cylinder heads, aftercoolers, box coolers, and other parts. From large medium-speed marine diesels, these components measure well over a metre in each dimension and accumulate carbon, scale, and fouling that manual cleaning cannot remove effectively.

A tank this size is not a scaled-up benchtop cleaner — it requires different engineering. Bonding transducers directly to walls this large invites thermal-expansion stress that cracks bonds; a failed bonded transducer would mean draining the entire tank and cutting into the wall. The filled weight — over 3000kg of solution alone — demands reinforced walls that bonding would complicate. The answer was immersible plates: sealed stainless units suspended in the tank, individually liftable for service without draining, each with its own cable to the generator cabinets.

The oil filtration system, in its 800×400×500mm secondary tank, circulates the solution continuously. Without it, 3110 litres would need frequent changes — an expensive exercise in chemical purchase and wastewater disposal. The loop extends solution life, holds cleaning consistency, and reduces the environmental footprint of the operation.

Where a 3110L Ultrasonic Cleaning Tank Build Fits

The KF1576 is a custom-engineered system for marine diesel heads, aftercoolers, and box coolers over two metres. For smaller work, a standard tank is faster and cheaper to build:

• Drop to 800L (K1180) for a single marine head or shaft under 1500mm; the 800L is a standard welded tank, not a custom project, so lead time and cost fall sharply.
• Drop to 500L (K1120) for blocks, tooling, or dies under 1200mm where budget, not scale, drives the choice.
• The whole custom tank range and internal dimensions are on the industrial ultrasonic parts cleaner series page.
