Model name is a name, not a volume: the number in MSX 15 is not the litres. Total solution volume is the whole fill, including the pockets that carry the resonators, heaters and platform. Working volume is the liquid to the fill line, 25 mm below the rim. Chemistry doses are worked on this figure. All specifications — incl. dimensions, ultrasonic power and volume — are confirmed at quotation.

Why this machine

The light-industrial bench

The MSX 15 is the machine for the bench that works every day: a 1.5 mm SS316L tank with the control system of the industrial range — stepless 10–100% power, load sensing, three stored recipes on an LCD touch panel. It takes a 320 × 225 mm basket to 8 kg, holds 130 mm of working depth, and is rated for continuous operation — shift after shift is this machine’s normal day. The basket locks at drain position above the bath so drag-out drips back into the tank, and the torque-hinged lid carries a condensate deflector — the small engineering that separates trade equipment from appliances. Built tough, compliant for clinical reprocessing workflows, brilliant in the laboratory and completely at home in the workshop — the perfect all-rounder for people who value capability and quality.

Applications

Who runs the 15 — click your trade for the guide

Workshops & Trade Parts

Injectors, single carburettors, tooling and daily trays — the parts-washer replacement at bench scale.

Medical & Dental — volume

Cassette-scale reprocessing for day clinics — the step up when the PowerSonic queue forms.

Laboratories

Batch glassware with recipe-controlled consistency.

Electronics — batch

Board batches at 10–100% power control.

At the controls

Recipes, not memory

LCD touch panel

Time, temperature and power in one screen — glove-friendly, splash-sealed.

3 stored recipes

One per part family. Operators pick, press, load — every basket runs the documented cycle.

Stepless power 10–100%

Dial the intensity to the part, from delicate finishing to full demolition.

Load sensing

Delivered power held steady as load and temperature change through the shift.

Basket drain lock

Basket locks above the bath — drag-out drains back into the tank, not onto the bench.

Sweep · degas · heat to 80 °C

0.6 kW pad heating, thermostat protected — chemistry at its activation window.

Chemistry

Approved chemistry

Chemistry rule: these tanks are approved for the declared chemistry at the declared concentration and temperature. Acid chemistry needs an acid-duty specification. Hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid and pickling solutions are not permitted in the tank; acid processes are only possible by indirect cleaning in a chemically inert secondary container, and only with written Misonics approval.
General degrease

FX Degreaser

The daily bath for oils, grease and workshop soils — 5% in water, works from warm.

Product, SDS & TDS →Ferrous carbon & paint

MetalTek 100

Grease, rust, scale, carbon and paint off steel and cast iron in one bath — the chemistry the 1.5 mm SS316 tank was built to hold. pH 14, so ferrous only.

Product, SDS & TDS →Precision & approvals

AquaVantage 815 GD

Aerospace-approved aqueous for new-manufacture and precision work; 815 QR-NF for MRO carbon.

Questions

Before you buy

What does dual frequency actually do for me?
One tank, two jobs done properly. 25 kHz produces big, aggressive cavitation for heavy soils; 45 kHz produces a denser, finer field for finishing and fine geometry. The MSX 30 carries both bands in one tank and the operator selects the one the load needs — 25 kHz for the heavy pass, 45 kHz for the finish — instead of forcing one compromise frequency. (MSX 15 runs a single 40 kHz band, right for consistent light-industrial loads.)
What chemistry can these tanks run?
The full aqueous alkaline range — FX Degreaser for daily duty, MetalTek 100 for baked carbon on ferrous work, the Brulin 815 family for precision and approvals work. The 1.5 mm SS316 tank is specified for exactly this. Acid descaling chemistry stays in dedicated acid tanks.
What do the stored recipes do?
Time, temperature and power saved per part family — three of them. The operator picks 'Carburettors' instead of remembering settings, and every basket runs the same documented cycle. The MSX 30 adds fully programmable cycles and selectable 25 / 45 kHz.
What is load sensing?
The generator continuously reads the acoustic load and holds delivered power steady as baskets go in, temperature climbs and solution ages — so the last cycle of the shift cleans like the first.
Can it really replace our parts washer?
For parts that fit the basket — yes, and it cleans the internals a spray washer never touches. The limit is basket size: 320 mm (MSX 15) or 490 mm (MSX 30). Bigger parts belong with the MSX 50–240 trolley machines.
Do they need special power?
No — both run from a standard 240 V 10 A socket on the supplied 3 m lead. Max draw is 900 W (MSX 15) and 1,650 W (MSX 30).
What generator drives these?
The MSX 30 runs our advanced G4-series industrial generator platform — the same resonance-tracking drive family as the floor machines, here in benchtop form, and the hardware behind the dual-frequency cycle. The MSX 15 runs a single-frequency industrial drive with the same load-sensing discipline.
What is in the box?
Stainless basket, torque-hinged lid (attached), ball-valve drain fitted, 3 m power lead and manual — 12-month warranty, bench-tested before dispatch.
Rent or buy?
The MSX 30 is in the rental fleet at $63/week — the popular route for shops proving the process before capital. The MSX 15 at $4,367 inc GST is bought outright from its page, or ask us about a trial.

The handles hook over the tank lip, so the basket locks above the bath at drain position — drag-out drips back into the tank, not onto the bench.
