AF20

AF20
Cleans solder masks, carriers, condensation traps

kolb AF20 is a state of the art immersion cleaning system with ClosedLoop water reprocessing. It cleans components of flux management systems (cooling units, filters, heat exchangers, containers / plates) of virtually all manufacturers as well as lathe parts, milled parts or die cast components from flux, condensate, oil, dust, grease using the economic and environmentally friendly AirFlow® technology.

In the fully automatic AF20 the items are cleaned, rinsed and dried in one single process chamber which is empty during the loading (no contact to the detergent). After placing the goods to be cleaned into the chamber it is pressure flooded with fine filtered cleaning fluid from a separate tank (tank A) through a PLC-controlled process. After the goods are cleaned the likewise filtered rinsing media, e.g. water, is pumped into the process chamber from a second tank. After the rinsing the rinse media is pumped out and the drying with a triple HotSpeed warm air unit starts.
