AQUBE^® LH5
Fully automatic standard batch cleaner for assembled PCBs

The kolb AQUBE^® series offer next-generation cleaning systems - even more efficient, even more compact, easy to handle and maintain, pre-equipped for extended water management and cyber-for the smart factory (SF ready certified).

AQUBE^® LH5 is a fully automatic new generation standard PCB fine cleaning system with a capacity of up to 176 (2.8 m² / 30 ft²) eurocards per process cycle.

AQUBE^® LH5 is a German engineered and manufactured machine primarily for the process safe fine cleaning of assembled PCBs, hybrids (HDIs, SiPs) and misprints from reflow flux residues, resin, copper, oxide and soldering support substances.

The two-tank, trible-circuit function configuration with ClosedLoop water reprocessing ensures short cycle times and makes this system the perfect economic choice for the precision cleaning of assembled PCBs.
