Does anyone know of a small machine (table top would be nice) that could be used to wash mis-prints or small batches of boards? We have 2 inline systems but they are DI only and once and a while a soaponified system would be nice. Looking for spray o

I relate to your problem. We face this issue sometimes. It's mostly flux from SMT, TH process or rework boards. To avoid foam in our Washer, we soak the boards in hot water for 10-15 min before running it through the washer. Or you can spray the boar

Hi, I am looking for opinions on closed-loop inline washers. We use water-soluble paste and flux, most of our boards are double-sided, and our finest pitch is 16mil, but we will be doing BGA, uBGA, and possibly flip chip in the future. What would

Without get too deep. The biggest drawback of batch washer, you can't pack too many boards into same batch. If you are washer very larger boards, that's the bottleneck. If you are washing No-Clean board, then you wait even much longer, more than dou

We just stepped into the inline wash world with a techical devices new clean galaxy plus. We are noticing a significant amount of foaming when washing our boards after selective solder. One theory is that the water soluble flux used is not being cu
