Hi Jeff, Sean is correct. Although ultrasonic technology will work in post-reflow de-fluxing applications, you will receive concerns regarding ultrasonic �damage� to wire bonded components. Much has been written to combat this belief but the conce

Hi all, Only observation I would make is that it depends upon what you term as clean? Now isn't that an old thorny question. Care to comment? Regards Graham | Hey there Dave! | | We used to use a batch cleaner when we used water-clean paste.

If the batch cleaner is truly closed loop, then 100% of all of the process fluid (water) is captured, filtered (particulate, carbon, resin) and reused. This answer is based on a traditional closed-loop batch cleaning system with an integrated water

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

Murray "No-clean" fluxes/pastes should not normally give "white residues". Before exploring cleaning, which is costly for small production levels, I suggest you may care to find out why you have these residues. To help you, can you please answer th

Hello Nicky! I do not know of an in-line cleaning solution, however I would take a look into the NIX America Magazine Cleaning Solution. It is a batch process unit that somewhat resembles a large drying and washing machine combo. I saw one at IPC

to summarize - 3 components are placed on a single module x 8 on pcb - 2 anodes & 1 cathode are infected (so no component for us) - the problem does not look like wetting problem as the component and land pad is wetted, but the paste is not complete

The best method of cleaning misprinted boards is with a stencil cleaner. I would not recommend the use of a spray-in-air system for misprints. Spray systems can cause solder paste to become embedded into vias and under components (if double sided).

You must leave space around the boards in a batch cleaner or else you will not get them clean enough. About half of what you think you can put in is all that you will end up running. Very hard to get any real through put. Drying times are high also

That's depend on how many wash cycles you would need to completely cleans the board within 1 batch. Most of times you would need more than 2 wash cycles (that's already about 30 mins just 2 wash cycles), it can be up to 5 wash cycles alone. Also kee
