With the widespread use of steel mesh cleaning machines, more and more people are becoming acquainted with SMT (Surface Mount Technology) steel mesh cleaning equipment. The fully pneumatic SMT steel mesh cleaning machine utilizes compressed air as the energy source, eliminating the need for electricity and any associated fire hazards. It features user-friendly design and one-touch operation, making cleaning and drying effortless. The high-density dual-side equal-pressure rotating cleaning nozzles ensure high cleanliness, while the automatic tension adjustment and drainage system contribute to flexible production management. Additionally, the three-level filtration system and small exhaust port design facilitate the recycling of cleaning fluid, resulting in minimal waste. The steel mesh cleaning machine system comprises high-quality imported pneumatic spray pumps, representing the latest innovation in pump technology. Powered by compressed air, these pumps can effectively remove various types of contaminants, including corrosive liquids, liquids with particles, high viscosity, volatile, flammable, and highly toxic liquids.
From the cleaning to the drying process, high-performance pneumatic fully automatic cleaning equipment operates automatically using air pressure, meeting the requirements for automatic cleaning of PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) and various other cleaned items. The equipment is designed with precision and aesthetic appeal, with complete pneumatic control.
Steel mesh, also known as SMT stencil, is a specialized tool used in SMT processes. Its primary function is to facilitate the deposition of solder paste accurately onto empty PCBs in precise positions. As SMT technology advances, SMT steel mesh is also applied in adhesive process cleaning machines, used for rinsing contaminants generated or intruded during manufacturing, assembly, operation, and maintenance of hydraulic systems. It is also suitable for periodic maintenance and filtration of working fluids, improving cleanliness and preventing or reducing failures caused by contamination, thereby ensuring the high performance, reliability, and long lifespan of hydraulic system equipment. With the adoption of steel mesh cleaning machines, manufacturers can alleviate many concerns. At least the oil cleaning agent is less likely to be exposed to the air, and there is no need to incur excessive costs for manual maintenance. With just one machine, manufacturers can save time and effort. Forward-thinking operators are sure to invest in such PCB cleaning equipment for their processing plants!
In the past, when steel mesh cleaning machines were not yet invented, manual cleaning was typically used to handle solder paste or adhesive on stencils. Workers had to use soft brushes or other cleaning cloths to remove residual solder paste or adhesive. However, using pure water alone is insufficient for thorough cleaning, especially for cured solder paste. Some may suggest using ethanol for cleaning, but if the solder paste is cured, will ethanol still be effective? Moreover, the cost of using ethanol for cleaning is also high, and most factories are reluctant to take such risks. Therefore, there are now professional solder paste cleaning agents available on the market. However, if workers do not have proper protective equipment, direct contact with these agents can affect the skin. Furthermore, the toxic fumes emitted by cleaning agents exposed to the atmosphere can also have adverse effects on the environment, and workers may inhale some of these fumes. Therefore, if manufacturers still rely on traditional manual cleaning methods, it is advisable to switch to steel mesh cleaning machines as soon as possible.
