Siemens Nozzle Cleaner

You should start by determining what adhesive is being used in the nozzle. Once you know that, finding a chemical that will work should be a lot easier.

Siemens really can't tell you what to use for this? That sounds odd, they have never cleaned any of their own nozzles? With support like that (can't cover the simplest things like maintenance) I will ensure that I don't ever consider this company for equipment.

Hi,

We have a solution for you. We are selling smt nozzle cleaner. It can be used to clean 1005, 0603 and 0402 nozzles. The equipment does not use any solvents. Just DI water and compressed air will do the job. Its more effective than ultrasonic cleaning.

Hi just to clear a few things, We produce the nozzles and the parts are manufactured in two stages, CIM and plastic injection moulded, we designed the rear end of the ceramic tip with spikes so when the secondary operation on plastic over mould the plastic secures itself tightly onto tip, No need for glue, as for cleaning we recommend a really light detergent/soapy, and rinse thoroughly, the problem with acidic solutions is the plastic Vectra does weaken over time. Hope this helps
