Every workshop has the bucket, the brush and the hour of knuckle work per carby. The bench ultrasonic replaces all three: parts in, chemistry on, ten minutes later the passages are clean — including the ones you cannot see.
Knock heavy sludge off first — the tank is a precision cleaner, not a dumping ground (our process blog explains why this one habit doubles bath life).
Hot degreasing chemistry, Med–High power, 10–15 minutes: carbs, injectors, small engine parts — jets, galleries and emulsion tubes cleared from the inside.
Rinse, then inhibitor on ferrous parts — bare cleaned steel flash rusts the same afternoon in workshop humidity.
Blow dry, rebuild with clean hands on clean parts — the rebuild that actually holds tune.
A carby that looks clean and still idles rough has dirty drillings. Cavitation cleans the jets and galleries from inside — the difference between cleaned and rebuilt-right.
Unattended machine minutes versus billable knuckle time — the machine pays for itself in the first month of carby season.
Aqueous chemistry in a lidded tank instead of an open solvent bucket: better air, better skin, better WHS conversation.
Injectors, single carbs and daily trays — SS316 tank, recipes, 8 kg basket.

| Carburettors, aluminium | AquaVantage 1696 GD at 5% · 55 °C · 5 minutes, then check |
| Steel and iron parts | FX Degreaser at 10% · 45–65 °C · 10–15 minutes |
| Power | Medium–High |
| Then | Rinse · anti-rust on ferrous · dry |
Starting points only — part condition, chemistry and load set the final card. We help you dial it in.

Three picks for carburettors, injectors and the daily tray, by the biggest part you clean each week.
Dual 25/45 kHz in one programmed cycle, 490 mm basket, 12 kg load, runs from a 10 A socket. Carburettor banks and throttle bodies whole.
Injectors, single carburettors and the daily tray. SS316 tank, stored recipes, 8 kg basket.
1696 GD at 5% and 55 °C for five minutes, then check. FX at 45–65 °C for oil and grime on ferrous parts, with an Anti-Rust dip after.
Outgrowing the bench? The MSX floor range carries the same platform to 240 L. Read how to choose the best industrial ultrasonic cleaner and the best ultrasonic cleaning solution for each job.
Tell us what the part is, what comes off it, and what it has to pass. Technical sales will tell you whether ultrasonics is the right answer for that part and what it takes to run it on your own floor.
