I know there must be a specification for this but I don't know what it is. What is the maximum psi setting for an air line that is used to dry assemblies off an aqueous cleaner? The assemblies are fixed but predominately SMT with many 0602/QFP/BGA co

We have a name brand aqueous batch cleaner that uses a chemical and DI water to clean ROL0 flux from our PCBs. It does ok most of the time for SMT boards and we want to include through hole assemblies as well which should be a better cleaning process

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

Our company uses a conveyorised aqueous cleaner to wash printed circuits after water soluble solder paste is reflowed. The system is closed loop with carbon and resin filters. The water eventually will get dirty. Can it be dumped? Treated? How do y

At the OSHA training institute, our instructor stuck an electric drill in a bucket of water to demonstrate what proper grounding will do. Personally I wasn't going to try it. All our fluxes are no-clean, and are IPA based. Granted we used aqueous

I agree but, are there really heavy metals in this water? Our process is as follows. Print Paste Reflow Board (no components, water soluble paste only) Wash Board Same reflow profile for almost every order so no solder balling issues etc. Carbon an

Around here that opens you up to some financial liability if ANY lead is found in the sewage, if they can't pinpoint the source. Every user over X lbs./month (dunno the specifics, just got this from our hazmat guy) is on the bubble for anyone else's

Your lack of obvious solder balls indicates you have a decent process. However, there are still small solder balls that are free and floating on the surface of the boards prior to wash. That same solder ball is washed off and ends up in the wash solu

MK, In most cases, if the machine is completely closed-looped (prewash, wash, prerinse, rinse, final rinse etc), then the water should not require changing. As with most inline cleaners, there should be a considerable amount of water loss in the cl
