SME5600 Inline PCBA Cleaning Machine by Southern Machinery

Flux residues left after soldering cause electrochemical migration and field failures. The SME5600 inline PCBA cleaner removes them automatically with water-based detergent, spray and ultrasonic.

What is this machine used for?

Inline washing of PCBAs after wave or reflow soldering: chemical detergent clean, DI water rinse, hot-air dry.

Removes rosin, water-soluble, no-clean flux, solder paste and contaminants
2-layer basket 610 x 560 x 100mm; PCBA from 80 x 50mm (200 pcs) to 560 x 550 x 130mm
Automotive, power modules, LED and high-reliability EMS lines
