Have used a Pressure Products N29 stencil cleaner for many years with outstanding results. The fluid is Zestron Vigon SC200. Tank holds 14 gallons that lasts for 1 year providing that you change the filters every month and makeup the fluid evaporatio

We have been having problems with solder paste balls around fine pitch ICs and have decided that cleaning the boards in an ultra sonic cleaner may reomove these solder balls. However we are worried that the ultrasonic cleaning process may damage the

Hi All, We are in the process of converting from RMA solder paste to no-clean process across the shop. This will allow me to carry my semi-aqueous cleaner out of the building and set it ablaze using the terpenes as the fire water. Then I can go ab

Omega Aqua Clean LPH. The flux we use in our selective solder process is Kester 2235. Our process cleans water soluble flux very well if cleaned within 24 hours of the boards being processed. We have sent boards off for cleanliness testing per sta

As I mentioned in the previous string we are happy with Electrolube "SSS". The guy who built our ulrasonic cleaners recommended it and it works very well. You don't have to change tanks or machines for a switch from paste to adhesive. It doesn't leav

You have a lot to think about! What does the flux manufacturer recommend as far as specifics like water temp or pressure? Do they recommend high temp di-water a detergent or saponifier? Do you currently have a cleaning machine, batch cleaner or inl

Superior 420-XF-LF is what we use. When we switched, it took some time of just running it through the stone before we got the optimal performance. Especially when going into the clean and dry tank on monday morning, we usually let the fluxer run for

I did some further reading yesterday and an ultra-sonic dip tank seems to be the recommendation, using a BGA cleaning solvent. I am not sure how such a process would affect the populated side of the board.

Are you running a water or alcohol based flux? We run a water based product and it stays in the tank with the stone all week and is emptied and cleaned at the end of the production week. Never once have I stored the stone in thinner and I've never
