The PowerSpray® technology developed by kolb is a pressure spray process in which the goods to be cleaned are cleaned by rotating spray arms under high volume flow and pressure. The main features are:
With the PowerSpray® set up a fast and thorough cleaning process is warranted. The active and permanent wetting of the goods to be cleaned ensures that the cleaning fluid reaches its optimum effectiveness and any contamination is cleaned off fast and thoroughly.
The utilized water based detergents guarantee an optimum effectiveness and at the same time ensuring best possible fining of the material. These certified detergents are scent neutral and do not require any special ventilation systems. Both, the technological principle of the cleaning systems and the optimum cleaning power of the utilized detergents ensure an efficient cleaning process which leads to perfectly clean purified production tools.
As the PowerSpray® systems are operated at room temperature (20° - 35° C max .) and with water based detergents the machines do not require extra safety areas but can be installed near the production line. The PowerSpray® principle is a comparably muted process with a certified noise level of only < 69 dB (A).
All elements that are subject to mechanical stress are made of stainless steel, bearings, bases and gliding elements are made of Teflon / PTFE / POM etc. The process chamber and all tubing systems are made of PVC. The PVC parts bonding uses a special procedure ensuring that, unlike weld seams of stainless steel containments, electrolysis (causing leakage) due to alkaline detergents cannot occur. This guarantees a long life span of all sections coming into contact with detergent and contaminants.
kolb offers in its cleaning systems the use of a water-free rinsing process with a suitable ph-neutral cleaning detergent used for rinsing. When using tap water and / or DI- / DM-water for rinsing this will likewise be permanently filtered and can thus be re-used several times.
After cleaning and rinsing the process should ensure that the product can be returned into the production right away without additional handling. Therefore it is essential that they are absolutely dry - such as solder carriers or assembled PCB's. kolb cleaning systems operate with sophisticated mainly patented heater technologies that do ensure proper and fast drying and are exceptionally energy efficient.
