GMC Series Stainless-Steel Ultrasonic Cleaning System
Precision Ultrasonic Cleaning for Demanding Industrial Applications
The GMC Series Stainless-Steel Ultrasonic Cleaning System is engineered for applications requiring aggressive cleaning performance, chemical compatibility, and precise control. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, the GMC system is compatible with caustic and acidic cleaning agents commonly used in industrial and food-related environments.
Sanicore Systems offers the GMC Series in two configurations to support a wide range of part sizes and cleaning demands. Both models are fully self-contained, mobile, and designed for reliable operation using commonly available power supplies, making them ideal for utility or in-place cleaning applications.
Key Advantages of GMC Series Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems
- All stainless-steel construction for chemical compatibility and long-term durability
- Ultrasonic cleaning removes contaminants from complex geometries and tight tolerances
- Self-contained design allows flexible placement and easy relocation
- Designed for batch-style precision cleaning
- Automated controls for ultrasonics, heat, and filtration
- Suitable for aggressive caustic and acidic cleaning solutions
GMC Series System Overview
The GMC Series is available in two sizes to accommodate different workload requirements.
- GMC 1818
Designed for compact parts and smaller batch loads while maintaining high ultrasonic intensity. - GMC 3523
Supports larger parts and higher liquid capacity, allowing increased throughput and flexibility.
Both systems include:
- Integrated pump system
- Dual stainless-steel cartridge filtration
- Surface sparger for solution management
- Automated controls for heat, pump, and ultrasonics
- Hinged lid and one standard parts basket
A drip pan design allows one basket of parts to drain while another is being cleaned, improving workflow efficiency.

Important Considerations When Choosing an Ultrasonic Cleaning System
Selecting the right ultrasonic cleaning system depends on your parts, process requirements, and facility constraints. Key considerations include:
- Part Size and Weight
Ensure the system accommodates your largest part dimensions and maximum load requirements. - Contamination Type
Ultrasonic systems are ideal for removing oils, residues, particulates, and embedded soils that traditional spray systems may miss. - Chemical Compatibility
Stainless-steel construction supports the use of aggressive caustic or acidic cleaning agents. - Production Volume
The GMC Series supports low to high batch volumes depending on model selection and cycle configuration. - Process Control Requirements
Automated control of ultrasonics, temperature, and filtration ensures consistent, repeatable cleaning results. - Mobility and Footprint
Caster-mounted, self-contained systems allow flexibility in placement and use across multiple work areas.
Typical Applications
The GMC Series Ultrasonic Cleaning System is well-suited for applications requiring precision cleaning and repeatability, including:
- Cleaning of complex components with blind holes or intricate features
- Removal of oils, greases, and residues prior to inspection or assembly
- Maintenance cleaning of production tools and components
- Batch cleaning operations requiring controlled, repeatable results
- Applications where chemical compatibility and corrosion resistance are critical
Optional Equipment and Configuration Options
The GMC Series can be configured with optional features to match specific process needs, including:
- Multiple ultrasonic frequency options

- Electrical configurations supporting 480V to 240V or 208V to 240V
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes ultrasonic cleaning different from spray washing?
Ultrasonic cleaning uses high-frequency sound waves to create microscopic cavitation bubbles that remove contaminants from surfaces, including areas that spray systems cannot reach.
Can the GMC system handle aggressive cleaning chemicals?
Yes. The all stainless-steel construction is designed for compatibility with caustic and acidic cleaning agents.
Are these systems portable?
Yes. Both GMC models are self-contained, mounted on casters, and designed to operate from commonly available power supplies.
Is the system fully automated?
The GMC Series includes automated controls for ultrasonics, heat, and filtration to ensure consistent operation and repeatable results.
