Hello Alwil, It appears that some of the other respondents are recommending that the waste stream be discharged to drain, if possible. Keep in mind, the chemistry used is not the only factor to determine legal drain disposal. If you are cleaning s

Something else I just thought of, and MikeK touched on it briefly, is what you'll be cleaning. If you need to be capable of removing both epoxy and solder paste, for instance, you need to look at chemistry and processes that will clean both, and the

Its kind of nice to be able to put a dirty stencil in the cleaner and get a dry clean one out. That pretty much points to the spray units with a dry cycle. Things to consider, chemistry consumption, how your stencils are bound, maintenance,and of c

We have an Ekra E5 that uses what looks like standard auto valve stems to dispense the cleaning fluid. They leak.. Are they just standard schrader valves or are special to withstand the chemistry of stencil cleaner?

We had that problem when our stencil supplier changed epoxies to a more environmentally friendly chemistry. Reducing the temp. in the cleaner solved the problem.

If you�re running chemistry in the wash, the wash temperature will be influenced by the chemical manufacturer�s recommendations. Typically, wash chemistries recommend operating temperatures between 130F and 150F. If your application is straight D

Bummer. Are you using the EPAC stuff that they recommend, or something else? We used IPA for a while, then changed to a run-of-the-mill stencil cleaning solvent (aliphatic hydrocarbon based, like the EPAC solvent) that's a lot cheaper and does the
