November 14, 2022, In November 2022, Degritter & MKoM, Toronto are very pleased to announce the release a new version of the record cleaner called “Degritter Mark II”. The new device will replace Degritter machines currently on sale. In essence, this is a facelift to our current model and it is not to be confused with the Reference Model, which is scheduled for release in 2023.
Degritter Mark II – Product Summary
● New look and feel
○ Stronger feedback from buttons;
The button material, the button press and the rotational clicks will now have more
feel to them. This allows easier control with more precision over the machine’s
user interface.
○ A new dark shade of gray;
The Mark II gray machines have a darker shade of finish compared to the
previous version.
○ New lighter logo color on the black variant, due to popular demand. The logo
color on Mark II machines will be creamy white.
○ All Mark II machines will have a small “MARK II” text underneath their logo on the
front panel.
● Improved technology inside
○ Pumps have a new PWM controller, which allows smoother pumping action;
○ A redesigned ultrasonic amplifier increases reliability and includes automatic fault
detection for improved safety. The ultrasonic cleaning now has a better power
control, which automatically adjusts for load variations in the cleaning bath (7” vs.
12” record for example).
● Ultrasonic pulse mode cleaning
○ The original Degritter was the first ultrasonic record cleaning machine on the
market that had frequency sweep in its ultrasonic cleaning. The Degritter Mark II
introduces pulse mode for the ultrasonic cleaning.
Pulse mode cleaning rapidly switches the ultrasonic activity on and off. This
creates a low frequency acoustic “punching” wave in the cleaning tank water
which gets rid of larger dirt faster.
