The SonixClean SC-16 Ultrasonic Wash System is a compact industrial ultrasonic cleaner designed for small to mid-size batch parts cleaning. With a 16-gallon tank capacity, increased ultrasonic power, and durable stainless steel construction, the SC-16 delivers consistent, repeatable cleaning for automotive, manufacturing, laboratory, and light industrial applications.
The SC-16 is commonly selected when greater capacity and throughput are required beyond compact precision systems, while maintaining a manageable footprint and controlled ultrasonic performance.
Balanced Capacity for Small Industrial Batch Cleaning
Positioned as a step above entry-level ultrasonic systems, the SC-16 supports a wider range of part sizes and batch volumes. Its increased tank dimensions and ultrasonic output make it suitable for facilities cleaning small assemblies, machined components, and automotive parts with moderate contamination.
For smaller precision applications, consider the SC-11 Ultrasonic Wash System. For higher-output or more demanding cleaning processes, consider the SC-16 Plus Ultrasonic Wash System.
