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

The specific answer depends on what your specific application includes. #1: What are you removing? (solder paste, adhesives) #2: What are you cleaning? (stencils, screens, misprints, pallets) #3: What type of machine are you using? (Spray-in

I recommend checking the IPC Stencil and Misprinted Board Cleaning Handbook (IPC-7526). A PDF copy is available at: http://www.SmartSonic.com click on "Cleaning Products" then click on "Recommended Reading". I agree with Doug, the more powerful

Eric, The Kolb RB6D (and the RB5D) are not ultrasonic cleaners. They are high pressure spray cleaners. I would not recommend high pressure spray cleaners for misprinted assemblies with previously placed components (unless you don�t mind solder pas

We are using a �spray� type stencil cleaner and hot DI water to clean water washable solder paste. I want to use the stencil cleaner to also clean misprinted PCBs. However, we consistently find solder balls on side A of a double-sided misprint. We
