ultrasonic cleaners info

[VE3EM]

Hello
I am looking for info on ultrasonic cleaners:
for 60-90 min cleaner;
and what temperature should steeping occur

thanks in advance

not sure you are going to find a reasonably priced one that runs a 60+ minute cycle... I have an iSonic that will run up to a 25 minute cycle (5-25 minutes in 5 minute increments) and has a heater built in (either on or off - will maintain water temp at 149' F (65'C) if heater is engaged) and I had to do some poking around to find that one - have been pretty satisfied with it thus far (generally run a total of 5 25-minute cycles on juice after mixing, with a good shake and rest in between cycles)


but if you do find one, would be curious about it also...

thank for your reply dcfluegel, however, what this is the ideal temperature for steeping?

sorry - your link was removed (i don't think you can post links until you have your five posts in...)

and I think the 'ideal' temperature for steeping is going to be somewhat subjective - I have read 'authoritative' posts ranging from 140' F to 160' F, as well as crockpot steeping guides that seem to cover a bit wider temp range... /shrug... I tend to alternate cycles with mine, one cycle with heater, one without, etc - and I reckon, ultimately, my juice seems to work pretty well for me (as well as the number of friends that are regularly requesting 120ml bottles of it, lol) - so, keep that in mind... your mileage may vary
