Aquastorm

Dynamic Fluid Delivery System

The objective of a mechanical fluid delivery system is to clean under difficult, low

stand-off components by maximizing the physical energy delivered at the surface

of the area to be cleaned. The Aquastorm 50 wash fluid delivery system utilizes

multiple jet impact cleaning (JIC) sprays that create a web of omni-directional

dynamic energy to remove flux residue. The web (or storm) of mechanical fluid

energy that is created delivers the dynamic energy required to achieve higher

product reliability by effectively removing flux residues under the low stand-off

components.

Intelligent Rinse Control

The Intelligent Rinse Control feature guarantees desired conductivity of rinse water through continuous monitoring and

control of the rinse process while maximizing water conservation. Each cycle can be user defined by cleanliness of rinse

water (board cleanliness of 1 µS) or by the number of cycles.

Patented Torrid Zone

Drying

The Torrid Zone drying that has set the industry benchmark for drying on in-line cleaners is a standard feature on the

Aquastorm 50. Our patented convection drying technologies for cleaning applications delivers a controlled dynamic

process that effectively removes moisture from the PCB. Typical performance includes drying complex assemblies to

within .1g of prewash weight. A benefit of Torrid Zone drying is that completely dry PCB’s can go straight to test after

cleaning.

Matching Footprint to Application

Today’s challenges for PCB manufacturers hinges on

high density, increased complexity, and miniaturization.

Manufacturers that currently clean with a batch-type cleaner

are looking for a solution to increase cleaning capability without

moving to an in-line cleaner. The Aquastorm 50 batch cleaner

utilizes technologies that are common to the Aquastorm 100

and 200 in-line cleaners and oered in a batch footprint.

Durable Design

The brand name of Electrovert holds the reputation of having the ‘longest product life cycle’ within the

Electronic Equipment Manufacturers’ industry. The reputation holds true for the Aquastorm 50. While

typical batch cleaners are modified versions of residential dishwashers, the Aquastorm 50 utilizes field-

proven technologies that are common across the Aquastorm in-line cleaners. The fluid delivery designs,

pump designs, and drying technologies are shared across the Aquastorm in-line series. The software

GUI (Graphical User Interface) and electrical I/0 system are common across all Electrovert product lines.

These designs are field proven in demanding production environments yet provide commonality across

multiple Electrovert platforms.

Advanced User Interface

The software has an advanced user interface that utilizes a 21” touch screen PC

with Windows® 7 operating system. All machine operation parameters are easily

viewed to optimize the machine and process controls. The software GUI is common

across all Electrovert cleaning, wave, and reflow product lines. The benefit is that all

machine operations, controls, set-up, drop-down menus, and timer functionalities

are similar and easy to use.

World Wide Support

The employees of Electrovert are dedicated to providing world class service and support to our global partners. With

facilities in the USA, Mexico, Europe, Asia and an extensive network of service, applications, and process engineers,

Electrovert is positioned to support our customer’s requirements. All Electrovert cleaning, wave, and reflow equipment

are designed and built in Camdenton, Missouri USA.
