So how does Degritter work?

Unlike most dry brush record cleaners, which push dust around, and wet record cleaners which can struggle to get deep into the grooves, Degritter uses ultrasonic pressure waves to create microscopic bubbles, breaking up dust and dirt deep inside the record's grooves. This cleans your records to perfection.

Step 1 - Fill with distilled water (and a little Degritter cleaning fluid, included)
Step 2 - Insert your record
Step 3 - Press Start. Different programs are available from light to heavy cleaning
Step 4 - The Degritter will clean and dry your record in minutes

Cleaning - Before & After

Degritters cleaning has been thoroughly tested and researched with the help of digital and electron microscopes. The images below show the effect of Degritters cleaning after a 5-minute cycle with no detergent or solution, just distilled water.

At the heart of the Degritter is their 120kHz ultrasonic cleaning system. This utilises a 300W amplifier and four transducers to ensure records are cleaned thoroughly. A cleaning cycle creates thousands of microscopic bubbles in the cleaning bath, these bubbles are small enough to travel deep into the grooves of your records. The bubbles then pop, creating a water jet which cleans the inner grooves down to the microscopic level.

Ultrasonic cleaning is used commonly in the semiconductor industry where surfaces must be clean on a molecular level, however, Degritter has been tuned to clean records, with a much high-frequency, creating smaller bubbles.

Active Filtering

Degritter features active filtering which circulates its water through a fine mesh filter while your record is being cleaned. This water is taken from the top of the tank, to remove floating dust. Heavy particulates and dirt settle at the bottom and are automatically removed into the dedicated waste sediment bin. Maintenance of the filtering system is easy, with a quickly removable, replaceable foam filter and washable steel mesh housing.

 

Postwash Rinse Option NEW FOR MARK I & MARK II Degritter supports rinsing records during washing cycles with the help of a separate water tank.

Who is Degritter

The team behind Degritter started in 2015 with a clear vision of creating a practical record cleaner that:
  • simple to use
  • would clean thoroughly
  • has a great build quality
  • looks good
  • does not sound like a vacuum cleaner
 
And they are confident that it lives up to the expectations.

Degritter uses ultrasonic cleaning in a water tank followed by a separate drying cycle to provide a superb cleaning effect. To create the best ultrasonic cleaning system we experimented with different frequencies, virtually simulated the energy distributions and made multiple physical set-ups to measure the energy levels. We built our own custom ultrasonic amplifier to power the system and spent long hours under a high-resolution microscope to assess the safety of the device.

Degritter's distinct minimalist look was created in close collaboration between our team and an accomplished industrial designer to achieve a sleek product that can be proudly displayed next to a high-end audio system.

Throughout the whole technical design process, we also paid close attention to the noise levels that the device will put out. For this reason, we have created a unique pumping solution that together with silent dryers and inaudible 120kHz ultrasonics forms a product that makes almost no noise at all.

As a result of the meticulous design and build process, we have come up with something that we can take pride in and feel that our customers will appreciate as well.
