Ultrasonic cleaners

I'm looking for buying advice on an ultrasonic cleaner. Our shop overhauls
several regulators a week so we don't need anything that can clean more then
one 1st stage, 2nd stage, and octo at a time. I would like any advice on
brand, model (size), and accessories that you can give me.

Thanks,
Al

I got a used from from my dentist, for free. Had a minor
electrical fault, which cost me 15 minutes to repair.

I've never used anything but Branson, and they just always work like
they're supposed to. I have a .75 gallon one at home. I usually do two
first stages or 2 second stages at a time. We had a similar one at a
very busy reg repair shop in SC, and I always wished it was bigger, but
we did 5-20 regs a day.

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional minority
and the mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is
entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

I am a real big fan of the L&R 2014. It is the right size to put the
stuff in you need, is powerful enough and, with the right chemicals,
cuts through the toughest crud. It isn't cheap though ... about $550
although Global sells them for $800+. I don't use the basket or cook in
the main pan. I have a plastic tub that I put the chemicals in and
submerge it in the stainless steel tub. The waves are transmitted to
the inner tub and cleans there. That keeps the cleaner from getting
crudded up with silicone, salt and debris.

Good hunting!

Thanks for your advice, the Branson and L&R brands are at the top of my list
and I did have someone in a local shop recommend "Crest". The Branson that I
am considering is the .75 gal model, I'll have to do some web surfing to
find the capacity of the L&R unit. I'm a "toyaholic" so the tough part will
be to buy the right size and not something I can fit a fully assembled V8
engine into.

Thanks again,
Al

Thanks for the information Ray. I've been busy trying to get my truck
running, it caused me to miss a dive on Sunday, and haven't had a chance to
look for that info myself.

Thanks for your time,
