Description

Compact 3.2-Litre 40kHz Ultrasonic Cleaning for Burs and Small Instruments

The Flight SonicArc 3.2 L is the smallest tank in the SonicArc range and the one that fits a chairside or single-operatory setup where a full instrument-processing bay is not available. It runs 40 kHz transducers at 120 watts of ultrasonic power, switchable to 60 watts where a gentler cycle suits delicate items, with a 200 watt heater bringing the solution up to working temperature. Ultrasonic cleaning is the step that comes before sterilization: cavitation lifts debris out of the parts of an instrument a brush cannot reach, so what goes into the autoclave is clean rather than merely rinsed.

Key Features and Benefits

  • 3.2 L stainless steel tank
  • 40 kHz ultrasonic transducers
  • Ultrasonic power 120 W, switchable to 60 W for delicate items
  • 200 W tank heater with adjustable temperature
  • Adjustable cleaning timer
  • Drain valve for controlled tank emptying
  • Stainless steel basket and tank lid
  • Degas function to condition fresh solution before the first cycle

Clinical and Workflow Advantages

  • Ultrasonic cavitation reaches the hinges, serrations and box locks of instruments that hand scrubbing does not, which is why the CDC places ultrasonic cleaning ahead of sterilization in the instrument-processing sequence.
  • Cleaning instruments in a closed tank rather than at a sink removes the sharps-handling and splatter exposure that hand scrubbing creates.
  • The switchable 120 W / 60 W output lets one tank run full instrument loads and delicate prosthetic or orthodontic work without a second machine.
  • Heating the solution raises cleaning efficiency, and the timer means a cycle runs to a defined endpoint rather than to whoever is watching the clock.

Why Choose This Size

The SonicArc range runs 3.2, 6.5, 10 and 22 litres on the same 40 kHz platform, so the choice is capacity and power rather than capability. At 3.2 L with 120 W of ultrasonic power and a 200 W heater, this unit is the smallest tank in the SonicArc range and the one that fits a chairside or single-operatory setup where a full instrument-processing bay is not available. Sizing up costs bench space and solution volume; sizing down costs cycles per day.

What's Included

  • Flight SonicArc 3.2 L ultrasonic cleaner
  • Stainless steel basket
  • Tank lid
  • Drain hose
  • Power cable and documentation

Warranty and Support

Supplied with the Flight Dental Systems manufacturer warranty, registered by DentalMarketplace at despatch. Use only ultrasonic cleaning solutions intended for dental instruments; plain water does not cavitate effectively and will not clean. Change solution at least daily, or sooner if it becomes visibly soiled.

FAQs

Flight SonicArc 3.2L Ultrasonic Cleaner for Burs, Instruments and Prosthetics

Q: What tank size do I need?

A: The SonicArc range runs 3.2 L, 6.5 L, 10 L and 22 L. A 3.2 L tank suits burs and small instruments at chairside. 6.5 L handles a routine cassette load in a general practice. 10 L suits multi-operatory throughput and 22 L is aimed at high-volume practices and laboratories. This unit is the 3.2 L.

Q: Why does ultrasonic cleaning come before sterilization?

A: Sterilization kills organisms but does not remove debris, and debris left on an instrument shields organisms from steam. Ultrasonic cleaning removes bioburden from hinges, serrations and box locks first, so the sterilization cycle works on a clean instrument.

Q: What is the switchable power setting for?

A: Full power at 120 W is used for general instrument loads. Half power at 60 W gives a gentler cycle for delicate items such as prosthetic work, orthodontic appliances and fine instruments.

Q: Can I use plain water in the tank?

A: No. Water alone does not cavitate effectively and will not clean instruments. Use a cleaning solution formulated for ultrasonic dental instrument processing, mixed at the dilution the solution manufacturer specifies.

Q: How often should the solution be changed?

A: At least once daily, and immediately if the solution becomes visibly soiled or cloudy. Contaminated solution redeposits debris rather than removing it.

Q: What is the degas function for?

A: Fresh solution holds dissolved air that absorbs ultrasonic energy and reduces cavitation. Running a short degas cycle before the first load drives that air out so the tank cleans at full effect.

Q: Does it heat the solution?

A: Yes. A 200 W heater with adjustable temperature is built in. Warm solution cleans more efficiently than cold, though very high temperatures can set protein onto instruments, so follow your solution manufacturer's temperature guidance.

Q: How long is a typical cycle?

A: Cycle time is set on the adjustable timer and depends on the load and solution. Follow the instrument and solution manufacturers' instructions for use rather than a fixed figure, and verify cleaning performance with a routine ultrasonic cleaner test.

Q: Should I test that it is working?

A: Yes. Run a commercial ultrasonic cleaner test regularly, such as a foil test or a proprietary indicator, and record the result. Transducer output falls over time and a failing tank looks identical to a working one.

Q: Can it clean handpieces?

A: No. Dental handpieces are not ultrasonically cleaned. Follow the handpiece manufacturer's own cleaning and lubrication instructions, which normally specify a dedicated maintenance system.

Professional Ultrasonic Cleaners for Dental & Medical Instruments

Professional ultrasonic cleaners are essential for effective pre-sterilization cleaning of dental, medical, and laboratory instruments. Using powered cavitation technology, ultrasonic cleaners remove debris from intricate instrument surfaces, including grooves, hinges, and hard-to-reach areas, helping ensure instruments are thoroughly cleaned before sterilization.

Our selection of professional ultrasonic cleaners includes a range of tank sizes and configurations to suit different practice volumes, from compact units for smaller operatories to high-capacity models for busy clinics. Each cleaner features a durable stainless steel tank for corrosion resistance and consistent cavitation performance.

These units are designed for everyday clinical use in dental practices, medical offices, laboratories, and veterinary clinics where instrument reprocessing efficiency and reliability are critical. Paired with appropriate cleaning solutions and baskets, ultrasonic cleaners significantly reduce manual scrubbing time and improve overall workflow.

Choose from trusted professional brands and models that provide reliable cleaning performance, easy operation, and long-lasting durability. Complete your instrument care setup with accessories such as baskets, lids, and specialized cleaning solutions.
