First, let us congratulate you for asking this
question. Any time flammable solvents
are used for cleaning purposes there is risk of fire or explosion due to
ignition of volatile vapors by a flash source. Ignition
can occur from any source due to spills or as flammable solvent vapors
spread. This post explains how you can
safely use flammable solvents in an ultrasonic cleaner.
An example of a widely used flammable solvent is isopropyl alcohol (IPA). References to its use are presented in this
post.
Things to Know about Flammable Solvents and Ultrasonic Cleaners
Before you select and use an ultrasonic cleaner for your application(s)
you should be familiar with options available as well as other factors that go
into the decision process. Here you will
learn about
the definition of “flash points”
flash points of commonly used flammable solvents
where ultrasonic cleaners are used with flammable solvents

Cannabis processors using glass components for short path distillation must deal with accumulated baked-on, polymerized and other contaminants that are extremely difficult and time consuming to remove. These glass components represent substantial investments and, unfortunately, can be easily broken unless handled carefully. This post explains why ultrasonic cleaners are often the answer to quickly clean glass components used in cannabis processing.
