Best possible cleaning today is the prerequisite for a reproducible quality in production as well as the reduction of expensive production stands-stills. The trend is the installation of highly automated, quickand cost-saving yet efficient and reliable processes that ensure high customer satisfaction.
The cleaning tasks in the electronics producing industry can be differentiated into three segments: Ultrafine Cleaning, Fine Cleaning and Maintenance Cleaning.
The Ultrafine Cleaning describes the cleaning of highly sensible components and is an intregrated part of the value-added chain.
This includes among other the demanding cleaning of assembled PCBs, Hybrids and DCB’s.
The Fine Cleaning covers all other cleaning processes that immediately affect the value-added chain.
Basic Fine Cleaning includes misprints as well as stencils in metal and PumpPrint-stencils.
The differentiation to Maintenance Cleanign starts with the cleaning of carriers and solder frames.
The kolb Application-Indicator shows this differentiation and it indicates the suitability of the respective machines for the different cleaning applications.

more about PS03

Singe-chamber PowerSpray "4-Step-Process" cleaning system with three indemendant process loops. The PS10 MC offers two fully separate technologies and processes within one system: Fine cleaning for screens, stencils (twin-function) and misprints using vertical spray double rotor system (as in PS07twin) and maintenance cleaning (solder carriers, boxes, magazines, machine parts, etc.) with a fourfold horizontal rotor system (as in PS41).
