Full specification — EVS 1500-PL
Tank volume is the whole tank, including the pockets that carry the resonators, heaters and platform. All specifications — incl. dimensions, ultrasonic power and volume — are confirmed at quotation.
Integrated bunding
On its own the machine stands on adjustable feet, straight onto your floor. With integrated bunding it stands in a sealed containment bund, with a lift-out grated deck over the top at working height.
Drips off the load, carry-off from the baskets and the wash-down at the end of the shift all go to the bund instead of the floor. The grating lifts out so the bund can be cleaned. Handrails with a mid-rail go on the open sides, and the screened bay at the load end keeps splash off the gangway.
The bund is sized to 110% of the largest vessel. It is quoted with the machine as its own line, ex GST.
Both views are renders of the EVS 1500-PL.
The platform surfaces the load
Filmed on a machine with the optional platform fitted: cycle done, the pneumatic platform lifts 500 kg out of the bath and holds it there to drain. No crane booking, no slings, no operator over an open tank — parts come to deck height on the machine's schedule.
Filmed on a customer production trial — the parts, the cycle and the result are in the band below.
Clips are silent and load only when you press play. All filmed on the same customer trial.
The 1500 at a Melbourne rail depot
Not a render and not a factory shot. This is an EVS 1500-PL in daily service at a Melbourne rail depot, cleaning traction and brake components. Lid up, load in, cycle run, load out — one operator, one machine, every shift.
The bath at temperature, the lid lifting, and the operator working straight off the deck — a 1,500-litre tank sized so the parts go in as they come off the vehicle. Open the video page →

Sized and built for heavy contamination
The optional powered platform is 2000 × 900 mm. Twelve generators deliver 18,000 watts of 25 kHz, with a 40 kHz build available where finer work shares the duty. The motorised lid and the platform are both options.
At 4.1 metres long and 48 kW connected this is plant, and we treat it that way: site survey, services, foundations check, commissioning and operator training in the one quote. HMI/PLC control; weir bath defence.
The optional elevator platform changes how this machine gets loaded
In most factories, lifting a heavy basket into a tank means booking the overhead crane — the most fought-over asset in the building. The optional EVS platform ends that: parts go on by trolley, forklift or hand at deck height, the platform lowers them into the bath, and the crane goes back to jobs only a crane can do.
It cleans better — with agitation the platform works the load through the field — and it manages parts better: raise to drain, let drag-out run back, unload on the operator's schedule, not the hoist's.
The platform is an option. Without it, the load goes in by hoist or crane.

Ultrasonics and oscillation covered — the next stages are rinse and dry
The EVS 1500-PL delivers the ultrasonics and oscillation stages. We quote the matching rinse tank and drying stage alongside the machine — see the multistage guide.
Approved chemistry
FX Degreaser
The daily bath for oils, grease and workshop soils — 5% in water, works from warm.

Specify and price your EVS 1500-PL
POA is not a brush-off. Tell us the duty and the options, and what comes back is a real number on a real proposal — machine, options, delivery and commissioning to your site.
Each choice becomes a priced line. Not sure? Pick “advise me” and we size it from your duty.
This is what makes the price real — the deposit and the throughput decide chemistry, cycle and filtration.
1,550 L · 18,000 W at 25 kHz · optional 2000 × 900 mm platform, 500 kg · optional motorised lid · 28 kW heating · weir · bag filtration optional · PLC/HMI
What comes back
