January 29, 2020 - Ransohoff a division of Cleaning Technologies Group, introduced a spray and ultrasonic combination aqueous parts cleaning system. The Rotosonic will work to clean heavily soiled parts in a single machine, rather than having to purchase a spray cabinet and an ultrasonic machine separately. It is designed to give flexibility allowing utilization of a single process or both, depending on user needs. The Rotosonic is a parts cleaning machine for re-manufacturing of automotive, truck, aerospace parts and more. The machine has a payload of 300LBS and a load height of 39”. The ultrasonic tank offers 40KHZ frequency to help clean the hard to reach locations and blind holes. The Rotosonic has a footprint of 55” deep x 50” wide x 86” high.
