Naked Sonics · components and retrofit

You already own the tank. Buy the sonics.

Most workshops do not need another vessel. They have a perfectly good tank — a rinse bath, a process tank, a soak tank that has been there for fifteen years — and what it lacks is ultrasonics. Naked Sonics is that hardware sold on its own: generators, immersible arrays and rod resonators, without a tank wrapped around them.

The same components that go into every machine we build. Sold separately, retrofitted into yours.

Why buy components

Three situations where the machine is the wrong purchase

You have a good tank that is not ultrasonic

Stainless, sound, the right size, already plumbed, already heated. Replacing it to gain ultrasonics is buying a tank you already have. A rod or an immersible array drops in and changes what it is.

You have an ultrasonic tank that has gone deaf

Bonded transducers fail. Generators drift off resonance and nobody notices until parts stop coming clean. Transducers and generators are replaceable line items — not a reason to scrap the machine.

You are building something we do not make

A process line, an OEM machine, a one-off rig. You need the ultrasonic engine and the engineering to size it — not a catalogue product bent to fit.

And one where it is the wrong call

If the vessel is near the end of its life, retrofitting it is money into a tank you will replace. We will tell you that rather than sell you the hardware.

A tank is a steel box. The sonics are the machine. Buying the second without the first is often the honest purchase.
The components

Three ways to put ultrasonics in a tank

Choosing between them

Rod or immersible?

 Rod resonatorImmersible array
Field shape360° along the whole immersed length — fills the vesselDirectional from the array face — aimed where the work sits
Best forDeep tanks, cylindrical work, brutal soil loads, awkward vesselsRectangular tanks, defined work zones, high power density
FrequencySingle frequency — 20, 30 or 40 kHz28 or 40 kHz
Wetted partThe rod only — drive stack stays outside the liquidSealed SS316L housing
Fine finishing workNot its strength — robust deep-field cleaningBetter for finer, controlled work

The engineering honesty: rod resonators are single-frequency devices, and their strength is robust, even, deep-field cleaning rather than high-frequency finesse. Precision multi-frequency work belongs on bonded and immersible platforms. The rod owns depth and durability.

Feasibility

Five things and a photo

That is genuinely all we need to tell you whether a retrofit will work — and whether it is worth doing.

  1. Tank dimensions — length, width and working depth.
  2. Where it sits — open shop floor, in a line, or inside a process bath.
  3. Vessel material and remaining life — there is no point retrofitting a tank that is nearly through.
  4. Heating and filtration already present — what you already have, we do not need to sell you.
  5. Power available at the wall — the honest constraint on how much ultrasonic power you can actually run.
