Fully Automatic Squeegee Cleaner Overview
This advanced equipment is specially designed for SMT printer squeegee cleaning, effectively removing surface residues such as residual solder paste, flux, and dust.
The Automatic Squeegee Cleaner utilizes a rotating basket mechanism where squeegees undergo cyclical spiral rotation combined with high-pressure spray rinsing, ultrasonic cleaning, rolling rinsing, and high-volume hot-air drying technologies, guaranteeing an immaculate and flawless cleaning performance.
Cleaning Process & Workflow Principle
Manual Loading
Safely load the squeegees into the cleaning chamber.
Manual Unloading
Retrieve the perfectly cleaned and dried squeegees.
Key Features & Advantages
- Innovative Design & Rotating Ultrasonic Cleaning: Features an innovative structural design utilizing rotational ultrasonic cleaning combined with secondary spray rinsing for a comprehensive, flawless clean.
- Pneumatic Pump System: Equipped with advanced pneumatic pumps to realize automated liquid filling and draining operations.
- Real-Time Filtration System: Independent real-time filtration for both cleaning and rinsing stages, ensuring washed solder beads never recontaminate the squeegee surface.
- Closed-Loop Detergent Recycling: Integrated filtration devices capture and filter residual solder paste, enabling continuous recycling and reuse of cleaning solutions.
- Visual Observation Window: The cleaning chamber features a transparent viewing window, allowing operators to monitor the entire cleaning process at a glance.
- Fully Automated PLC Control: Powered by a PLC control system with multiple customizable program modes, ensuring simple operation and easy maintenance.
- Eco-Friendly & Heavy-Duty Build: Low liquid consumption, high energy efficiency, and zero pollution. The entire body is manufactured from premium 304# stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance.
- Secure Squeegee Mounting Mechanism: Features a unique installation design that securely locks the squeegees in place, completely preventing slipping or shifting during operation.
- Real-Time Pressure Monitoring: Nozzle spray pressure is fully monitorable during the cleaning process, guaranteeing consistent and optimal cleaning performance.
- Advanced Filtration & Maintenance: Equipped with high-efficiency filtration units and premium imported PPH piping, ensuring effortless upkeep and simple routine maintenance.
- All-in-One Process Integration: Integrates cleaning, rinsing, air-knife blow-off, and thermal drying into a single compact system. Liquid addition/drainage, cleaning, and rinsing parameters (time and speed) are easily configured via the intuitive HMI touch screen.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How many squeegees can be loaded at once?
Loading capacity varies depending on the squeegee size:
| Squeegee Size (mm) | Loading Quantity (Pcs) |
|---|---|
| 200 - 600 mm | 12 – 6 Pcs |
Q2: How long does the cleaning cycle take?
Cleaning time may vary depending on the degree of solder paste curing. The following empirical settings serve as a reliable reference:
| Cleaning Stage | Theoretical Setting Time |
|---|---|
| Spray Rinsing Time | 1 – 3 min |
| Ultrasonic Cleaning Time | 3 – 8 min |
| Secondary Spray Rinsing Time | 1 – 3 min |
| Rinsing Time | 1 – 3 min |
| Drying Time | 3 – 7 min |
Return on Investment (ROI)
- Labor Cost Savings: Automated batch cleaning significantly reduces manual labor and operational intensity.
- Extended Tool Lifespan: Gentle yet thorough cleaning processes prevent mechanical wear, effectively extending the service life of fixtures and squeegees.
- Eco-Friendly & Health Protection: Zero pollution and chemical-free operation protect operators from hazardous chemical exposure and bodily harm.
