VEVOR TH-100A 30L Ultrasonic Cleaner: features, specs and who it suits

The VEVOR TH-100A is a 30-litre ultrasonic cleaning machine for workshops, labs and busy home projects. Instead of scrubbing, it fills a tank with liquid and uses high-frequency sound to loosen grime from tools, parts and instruments. This page explains what its specs mean and what to think about before choosing one.

How ultrasonic cleaning works

An ultrasonic cleaner sends high-frequency vibrations through a liquid. These create tiny bubbles that form and collapse against the surface of whatever is submerged, a process usually called cavitation. The effect is a scrubbing action that reaches into threads, holes and crevices a brush can't. In general, lower frequencies give a more aggressive action, while higher ones are gentler on delicate items.

The TH-100A runs at 40kHz, a common frequency for general-purpose machines. VEVOR says its parameters are designed to clean thoroughly without damaging items, though how well any item cleans depends on the soil, the solution and the time.

Ten transducers and 600W of ultrasonic power

The transducers are the parts that turn electrical energy into vibration. VEVOR lists ten of them, each at 60W, for 600W of ultrasonic power in total, and describes them as a sandwich piezoelectric design. Spreading the power over ten transducers is intended to cover the 30-litre tank more evenly, which typically matters in a tank this large, since a single source can leave weaker spots.

The 500W heater

The machine also has 500W of heating power. Warm solution usually helps ultrasonic cleaning, because many cleaning agents and oils work better when warm. Check the manual for the recommended temperature range and the solutions that are suitable for the tank.

What it is meant to clean

VEVOR says the machine is used for wrenches, screwdrivers, industrial parts and metal instruments, and that it suits both professional and everyday use. In practice, ultrasonic tanks are widely used for engine and carburettor parts, tools, metal fittings and workshop components. Some materials, such as soft plastics, certain coatings and delicate finishes, can be affected by ultrasonic energy or by heat, so follow the manual for what to include.

Size, weight and certifications

The listed dimensions are 20.9 x 13.0 x 13.0 inches (about 53 x 33 x 33 cm), and the weight is 27.6 lb (about 12.5 kg). That is a bench-sized unit rather than a portable one, so plan where it will sit and how you'll fill and drain it. The listing states that it carries FCC, CE, RoHS and UL certifications.

Who it suits

A tank this size suits workshops, small repair businesses, hobbyists who clean mechanical parts regularly, and anyone who needs to clean several small items or one fairly long item in a single batch. For occasional cleaning of a single small item, a smaller machine may be more practical.

What to check before you buy

• Tank size: confirm the longest and widest item you plan to clean fits inside the 30-litre tank, with room for a basket if you use one.
• Materials: check that the items and their finishes are suitable for ultrasonic cleaning and heat.
• Cleaning solution: choose a solution compatible with both the tank and the items, and follow the manual.
• Power and location: check the electrical requirements in the manual and use a stable, level bench.
• Draining and upkeep: think about how you'll fill, empty and dispose of used solution.
• What's in the box: confirm the accessories included, such as a basket or lid, against the listing.
