In-line Aqueous Cleaning System
Aquastorm
®
Unsurpassed cleaning, high-efficiency drying, low cost of
ownership, ease of maintenance, and minimum downtime all
come together in the ELECTROVERT Aquastorm, a world-class
printed circuit board cleaning system.
Electronic Assembly Equipment
Aquastorm 200
Aquastorm 100
The Aquastorm is a versatile,
high-performance cleaning
system designed to optimize
the PCB cleaning process
while minimizing overall
cost. Its compact footprint
and patented cleaning and
drying technologies make
the Aquastorm an energy
efficient and cost effective
cleaning system.
Aquastorm
Versatile, Proven Cleaning Performance
The Aquastorm is considered the industry’s best for precision cleaning, performance, quality
construction and life cycle durability. Combined with innovative features and technologies, the
Aquastorm continues to be the industry leader and benchmark for cleaners in the industry. Both
the Aquastorm 100 and 200 are ideally suited to RMA and no-clean de-ux applications that require
chemistry, as well as removal of water-soluble organic acid ux.
User Interface
The Aquastorm is configured with a Windows®-based operating
system that provides familiar pull-down menus and has data-
logging and barcode capability. The system is easily networked for
downloading of recipes and remote access to operating data.
• Quick and easy viewing of system pressures, water levels, pump
and blower operation, temperature, and fill/drain operation
• Process notes function
• Security password protection
Cleaning Technology
Functional sections of a cleaner are designed to
accomplish different tasks in removing contamination.
Some sections maximize flooding, while others
maximize impact force for cleaning tight spaces.
The Aquastorm uses proprietary pump and nozzle
technology throughout the system to optimize
performance.
The Aquastorm’s appropriately sized modules and
strategic manifold placement increase throughput
while ensuring thorough removal of contaminants. The Aquastorm features perforated rails, curtain
containment, and a cabinet designed to manage wash solution within the system for maximum
conservation of costly chemistries. The wet chemical isolation module is powered by the recirculating
rinse pump to ensure optimal prerinsing and to facilitate closed-loop recycling of the rinse section. Even
the exhaust is separated between the wash and rinse modules to minimize chemical migration through
the system.
Drying Performance
Efficient and complete drying is crucial to the cleaning process. An effective system will increase
throughput, providing cost savings and superior return on investment. The Aquastorm series offers
several drying options, including the high-performing Torrid Zone™ for unmatched flexibility in
configuration and performance.
Lead-Free Process Ready
The importance of cleaning electronic assemblies increases dramatically with
lead-free soldering. Higher temperatures are required in lead-free soldering, and
wetting is much more difficult. To improve 'wettability', the flux compositions
may require higher activation. High-solid flux formulations commonly leave
more undesirable residue and require cleaning.
A successful cleaning system must be able to handle the harsh demands of the
lead-free process. The Aquastorm's unique technologies, such as the patented Hurricane Jet™ and JIC
nozzles, provide unmatched impact force to penetrate under and around components and clean even
the most challenging flux residues.
The applications and industries
served include:
• Electronics and
semiconductor
• Precision medical
• Aerospace/Military
• Automotive
• Industrial/parts cleaning
• Pallet/xture cleaning
• Debris removal /surface
preparation
• Lens Cleaning
• Renew/Rework
Features:
Aquastorm
Mixed Spray Technologies
Through a combination of JIC jet
impact cleaning, V-jet fan type nozzles,
and Hurricane Jet™ spray technologies,
maximum direct dynamic impingement
is delivered to the product surface and
effectively cleans under low stand-
off components for difficult cleaning
applications.
Torrid Zone Drying Power
Integrated into the machine cabinet,
the Torrid Zone delivers superior
drying power. Typical performance
includes drying complex assemblies
to within 0.1 gram of prewashed
dry weight. The module reduces
exhaust requirements by 44%
and uses 15% less power when
compared with conventional drying
systems, providing a rapid return on
investment.
S-Jet™ Nozzle Technology
Patented nozzle technology produces
large water produces large water droplets
for enhanced cleaning performance when
operating at a lower rate of pressure. The
oscillating action of the S-Jet helps to
better clean and ush ux residues in
the prewash to reduce foaming in the
recirculating wash.
Complete Accessiblity
Rear panels can be easily removed for
maintenance with the added benefit of
single door removal to access the wash
and rinse tanks. Front doors provide quick,
access to electrical panels, computer,
heaters, floats and thermocouples. The
hinged, tempered glass windows provide
optimum viewing and access.
Stainless Steel Plumbling
Equipped with orbitally welded,
stainless steel plumbing to eliminate
pressure drops and leaks, all sections
can be replaced or upgraded in
minutes to maximize uptime and
process flexibility. Plumbing sections
have quick-disconnect fittings for
ease of maintenance.
Windows® Operating System
All process parameters are congured
in the Aquastorm’s computer-controlled
operator interface. System pressure, wa-
ter levels, and temperatures are easily
accessed. Data logging and barcode ca-
pability are features that enhance and
streamline the production process.
Chemical Isolation
The optional Chemical Isolation
(CI) is a multi-section module that
efficiently removes chemistry from
the product prior to the rinse section.
The majority of the chemistry is
removed in the 1st section, which is
close-looped back into the wash tank
reservoir.
