The secondary (primary to some) concerns are what you put into the waste stream and how you treat it, and what the chemistry of your residues does to the seals on your machine.

Look for the following machines: Aqueous Technologies ECD EMC Austin American The above mfrs. make "industrial" grade dishwashers for assembled PCB de-fluxing. Search any of those names followed by "..... batch cleaner", and your search engine will

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

Best to use Tin treated with TinP Additive. This ensures the Tin is fluid enough to Dissolve any Leaded residues. Run the machine for one hour at 275C then take out wave former and as much of the workings of the pot as possible. Then start bailing ou

Thank you for the detailed input. That gave me material to think on.

Hello, I am planning to use a water wash flux. As this is new to me, would you guys share what should I be aware of? I know cleaning PCBs itself presents issues. If you can share your experience so I can prepare better, it would be great.

Brian, We've see foaming issues with our wave flux occasionally when running large slugs of product through the wash. We love the wave flux and changing it was not an option. Our process parameters for the wash machine we're derived via a validati

Brian, We had similar problem in our inline wash machine time ago. We checked everythin on equipment (filters, DI water purity, sprayers angle, etc). To make the long story short, we found out that the problem was caused by a new solder paste. This s

Is this happening in the mornings? Are the operators allowing the machine to come up to set temperature before they run it?

Approaches to getting started are: * Most batch cleaning equipment suppliers provide both open and closed loop options on their machines. Talk to them about upgrading your machine. * There are companies that specialize in supplying closed loop system
