This sonic cleaner, by Hornady, was designed to take ultrasonic cleaning into a whole new dimension. Its Hot Tub features a 9-liter capacity and is long enough a accommodate an AR-15 and get it cleaner than ever.
In addition to its impressive size, it has 4 separate transducers and a heating element, which significantly improves its ability to clean. This is especially important for when you need to clean smaller gun parts.
When used in conjunction with a quality cleaning solution, the cleaner’s microjet action helps break down and remove carbon residue and other debris from cartridge cases, gun parts and other smaller metal equipment. Unlike traditional tumbler style cleaners, sonic cleans are able to break down and clean dirt from internal and external surfaces on cartridge cases or primer pockets.
The cleaner has a smaller inner tank for cleaning more than one small batch of parts. Or, for using two different cleaning solutions at the same time. Hornady’s sonic cleaner is even big enough to fit additional inner tanks that can be purchased separately.
The engineers who designed the cleaner even integrated hanger cords into the cleaner. These allow you to suspend objects and parts in the tank. That way, you will fully benefit from the ultrasonic cleaning energy. Additionally, the Hot Tub has drain pans built into the lids.
How Hornady Hot Tub Sonic Cleaner Works
[asa tpl=”flat_box_horizontal”]B00AU6CK20[/asa]Ultrasonic cleaners work by producing high-frequency sound waves that agitate the molecules in a cleaning solution. This creates tiny bubbles that will adhere to dirt and other contaminants on the surface of metals, plastics, glasses, rubbers and other materials.
These cleaners can be used with water, however, they tend to work better when cleaning solvent is used. Sonic cleaners are often used to clean small parts but can be used to clean almost anything. A sonic cleaner will easily clean jewelry, lenses, gun parts, watches, dental and surgical instruments, tools, coins, golf clubs and/or fishing reels.
The advantage of this type of sonic cleaner is that it can clean small areas that a traditional cleaner would not be able to. The microscopic bubbles created in the tank penetrate even the smallest nooks and crannies.
