Maintenance and tool cleaning is an important task in electronics production. It is not only about ensuring reproducible production quality, but also about maintaining the value of the machinery.
A classic example of elements that are often considered ‘uncleanable’ are long-used pump parts from wave soldering systems. After extended use, their function is no longer optimal because in particular the geometry of the solder nozzles in the distributor plate is contaminated with heavily burned-in soldering aids/oxides and soot. In addition, the mobility of pump gears and other moving parts suffers.
The kolb analysis team has now proven in a reliable test that such a pump unit can simply be machine-cleaned so that it can be reused trouble-free. To prove this, a customer’s badly worn solder pump was cleaned with the special cleaner kolb StoveEx in a fully automatic kolb AF20 maintenance cleaning system with AirFlow air-in-immersion technology.
StoveEx is an extra strong alkaline concentrate specially formulated to remove persistent and stoved contaminations from solder nozzles, condensate traps, filter plates, coolers and cyclones. It can be used in immersion as well as ultrasonic systems.
