Bandelin offers the Sonorex-Ultrasonic bath for cleaning and disinfecting respirators

After fire-fighting and fire drills, used respirators can be contaminated with germs or with dangerous substances. Contamination on the respirators must be eliminated to protect the mask carrier and ensure efficient and faultless functioning of the respirators in the next emergency.

Berlin-based Bandelin, a supplier of ultrasonic devices and accessories offers the SONOREX-Ultrasonic bath for the cleaning and simultaneous disinfection of respirators.

Its SONOREX-ultrasonic baths are described as user-friendly and have elaborated basket solutions including removable grills that make it possible to treat 2 – 15 respirators at once, depending on the devices. In comparison with conventional procedures, ultrasound reduces the cleaning and disinfection time.

The gentle but intensive, time- and cost-saving, ultrasonic cleaning can also be used for tools, small hardware items, engine and machine parts, oil filters and other fire brigade equipment fittings.

The cleaning and disinfection concentrate used during the treatment – Tickopur R 33 and Stammopur 24 – have been specially developed to be used in an ultrasonic bath.
