The SonixClean SC 16 Plus Ultrasonic Wash System is built for operations that need more process capability than a compact bench style unit, without moving into a larger batch tank. With a 16 gallon capacity, a submersible emitter design, and a 7 inch TFT control panel, the SC 16 Plus is a strong fit for light production and mixed use environments where repeatability and control matter.
The SC 16 Plus is designed to integrate into existing work cells with a compact footprint while maintaining repeatable cycle control for process driven cleaning.

The SC 16 Plus sits between entry level ultrasonic systems and larger batch ultrasonic tanks. It is often selected when a standard tank system is running at its limits or when a process needs better cycle control, repeatability, and the option to add filtration.
For smaller precision parts and lower throughput, consider a compact model such as the SC 6.6 Ultrasonic Wash System. For larger batches and higher throughput, step up to a larger tank such as the SC 33 Ultrasonic Wash System.
Typical Parts Cleaned with the SC-16 Plus
The SC 16 Plus is commonly used for parts that benefit from ultrasonic cavitation and consistent cycle control, including components with internal passages, tight features, and complex geometry.
- Fuel system and precision machined components
- Valves, housings, fixtures, and mixed small assemblies
- Automotive and industrial components with carbon and oil contamination
Cleaning Challenges the SC 16 Plus Is Built to Solve
- Oil and grease residue that clings to complex geometry
- Carbon buildup in internal passages and blind holes
- Inconsistent results when manual cleaning drives variability
- Processes that need repeatable time and temperature control across cycles
System Specifications and Engineering Highlights
The SC 16 Plus combines a 16 gallon tank with higher ultrasonic output and a submersible emitter architecture designed for stable, uniform cleaning performance. Key highlights include:
- Capacity: 16 gallons
- Ultrasonic power: 1000 Wp (2000 Wp p)
- Working frequency: 40 KHz sweep system
- Integrated control panel with 7 inch TFT screen and 22 programmable cycles
- Optional filtration control (WFS Filter button)
- Reinforced pneumatic platform for loading and unloading up to 66 lb

SC 16 vs SC 16 Plus vs SC 33
If you are deciding between these adjacent models, the selection typically comes down to process control, load handling, and batch size:
- SC 16: 16 gallon tank with power level selector and a simpler control panel approach. Ultrasonic power is 800 Wp (1600 Wp p). Best for smaller batch cleaning where advanced programming is not required. View SC 16
- SC 16 Plus: 16 gallon tank with higher ultrasonic output at 1000 Wp (2000 Wp p), a 7 inch TFT control panel with programmable cycles, and optional filtration control. Also includes a reinforced pneumatic platform rated up to 66 lb.
- SC 33: 33 gallon tank designed for larger batches and higher throughput, with a submersible emitter and reinforced pneumatic platform rated up to 132 lb. Includes a 7 inch TFT control panel with programming features similar in spirit to the Plus models. View SC 33

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the SC 16 Plus differ from the SC 16?
Both are 16 gallon systems, but the SC 16 Plus provides higher ultrasonic power and a 7 inch TFT control panel with programmable cycles and optional filtration control, supporting stronger process repeatability for mixed use and light production environments. View SC 16
Where does the SC 16 Plus fit in the SonixClean lineup?
The SC 16 Plus bridges compact precision systems and larger batch tanks. For smaller precision parts, consider the SC 6.6. For larger batches and higher throughput, consider the SC 33. For production scale cleaning of larger and heavier components, consider the SC 132.
Is the SC 16 Plus suitable for light production use?
Yes. The programmable control interface and process controls are designed to support repeatable cycles for light production and mixed use environments.
Can I add filtration to the SC 16 Plus process?
Optional filtration support is available, and the control panel includes an optional WFS Filter function for systems configured with filtration.
