ULTRASONIC CLEANING

The RCBS Ultrasonic Case Cleaner-2 is designed to clean metallic surfaces. Ultrasonic cleaners work by creating 
millions of tiny air bubbles inside the liquid by high frequency vibration. The air bubbles burst inside the liquid 
on the surface of the submerged items and shake off the debris to achieve the cleaning effect. When used with 
the RCBS Ultrasonic Case Cleaning Solution, your cases will be clean and free of carbon fouling, lubricants, and 
debris on the exterior and interior, of your cartridge cases.  Purified or distilled water has the same cleaning effect 
as regular tap water for ultrasonic cleaning. Therefore using tap water is sufficient. However, your tap water may 
contain minerals and solids, which may cause spots on surfaces. When cleaning silver or copper items where 
oxidation and carbon fouling has darkened the items, special cleaning solutions such as RCBS Ultrasonic Case 
Cleaning Solution needs to be added to the water to remove the oxidation. The RCBS Ultrasonic Cleaner-2 
comes equipped with a special degassing function. When cleaning solutions are added to the water in the tank, 
droplets of solution will form which take time to dissolve in the water. The solution may also form many small air 
bubbles on the tank walls. The droplets and bubbles act as a buffer or insulator, which may reduce the cleaning 
effectiveness. The degassing function will aid in dissipating the bubbles and droplets, which will improve the 
cleaning efficiency. The degas function will operate for 2 minutes, which is generally enough time to dissipate the 
droplets and bubbles.
