Mike Conrad's "matter of full disclosure" is not quite complete. He fails to mention that he only makes spray-in-air board cleaners and only ultrasonic stencil cleaners. He does not make ultrasonic board cleaners. So, he apparently he is "grinding

We never run raw solder paste through our board cleaner, because: * Flux floats on the water in the tank and contaminates everything, including the boards being 'cleaned'. [Prove this to yourself by observing the location of gray schmutz on the insid

We have a WESTEK ORBI orbital board cleaner and no documentation. I was hoping to find someone with a manual that they might be willing to scan, or mail it to me and I'll scan it and send it back. We have a wire diagram, but no plumbing or mechanic

We use a small DI water generator feeding a diaphram type pressure tank going to a standard dishwasher. We have some filters in-line also to prevent white residue on no-clean boards. I cant think of a good reason to buy a $5,000 board cleaner rather

I've never heard of steaming a board either. You said that steaming cleans it better after the wash process. What is the steaming process cleaning that the washer isn't, flux residue, solder balls, or what? Also, try and identify the main difference

We made much better contact of wave with board. There was not enough solder in bath. We increased it so wave height is higher with same pump power And now board is pushing dirty wave to the other side and board is much cleaner!

Before entering the cleaner, the board should reach almost temperature of first pre-wash module (are you using DI water washing machine?), if water cleaner, normally the temp of prewash spry is set from 45 C� to 55 C�. (or it could be 10�C higher, bu
