Cleaning Equipment |
 Company: Aqueous Technologies
Product: Self-cleaning Wash Tank
The self-cleaning wash tank has been designed with no horizontal fl oor surfaces, preventing solder paste from building up on the tank’s fl oor. Additionally, it is equipped with multiple funnels mounted on the tank’s fl oor. The end of the funnels feeds into a small diameter metal tube. Water is pumped through the tube at the rate of 15 ft per second, briskly sweeping solder paste into a specially designed fi lter housing where the solder paste is captured. In addition to preventing solder paste from entering a waste stream, the self-cleaning wash tank completely eliminates any direct contact between an operator and hazardous solder paste. |
