As high-reliability PCBs become miniaturized, denser and more complex, board assemblers are seeking ways to increase board level reliability, and cleaning is seen as a process solution. Additionally, the importance of cleaning electronic assemblies increases dramatically in lead-free soldering applications.
The Electrovert® Aquastorm™ series PCB cleaning machines are designed to provide complete cleaning process flexibility, superior cleaning and drying performance, process monitoring, and reliability. The Electrovert approach is to provide the market with a range of Aquastorm series cleaners that utilize technologies that exceed cleaning and drying expectations.

The Electrovert Aquastorm is a versatile, high-performance cleaning system designed to optimize the PCB cleaning process while minimizing overall cost. The Aquastorm features the most advanced cleaning technologies in an energy-efficient design. The Aquastorm 200, with its dual tank design, is ideally suited to RMA and no-clean de-flux applications that require chemistry, as well as removal of water-soluble organic acid flux.
Efficient and complete drying is critical to the cleaning process. An effective drying system will increase throughput and provide cost savings, so that boards can go straight to test or conformal coating. The Aquastorm series offers several drying options, including the high performing Torrid Zone™ for unmatched flexibility in configuration and performance.
*The high-performing Torrid Zone™ is standard on the Aquastorm 200 Stainless Steel.
The Aquastorm utilizes technology-based solutions that deliver dynamic energy at the PCB surface to effectively clean under low stand-off and difficult to clean components. Leading edge spray technologies are used within the fluid delivery systems for both the wash and rinse cycles.
The Aquastorm is configured with a Windows® based operating system that provides familiar pull-down menus, includes data logging, and has barcode capability. The system is easily networked for down-loading of recipes and remote access to operating data. Important cleaning parameters such as flows, pressures, and temperatures are easily displayed on the GUI to optimize the machine and process controls.
In today’s business environment it is important to partner with suppliers who are willing to work on special applications and are committed to providing process solutions. Contact Electrovert if you have a special product or application and are interested in finding a specialized solution.
The Matrix Manifold system is Electrovert’s cutting-edge solution designed to streamline complex assembly cleaning while prioritizing ease of maintenance and delivering consistent, repeatable performance. Compatible with all spray nozzle types, this system optimizes cleaning efficiency without increasing energy consumption.
The manifold’s design integrates precise, repeatable nozzle alignment and offers adjustable height settings to suit the specific needs of the cleaning application.
Engineered for versatility, the Matrix Manifold accommodates a broad spectrum of assembly cleaning requirements. The manual configuration ensures reliability and precision, while the automated version supports recipe-driven operation and aligns with Industry 4.0 standards, including MES (Manufacturing Execution System) data integration.

The clear advantage of the Aquastorm cleaners is the ability to deliver dynamic energy at the PCB surface. While ‘dynamic’ energy consists of a combination of chemistry, thermal, and mechanical forms of energy, the key to the Aquastorm is the utilization of mixed spray technologies to maximize the cleaning capability and providing complete process flexibility.
The Aquastorm 50 batch cleaner utilize several of the same technologies and cost saving designs from the in-line cleaners and are made standard in the Aquastorm 50 batch cleaner:
The Aquastorm series cleaners are designed to provide maximum in process flexibility and capability.
This new option uses heat stabilized polypropylene material that costs substantially less than stainless steel. It is able to withstand temperatures up to 180°F (82°C) which is the ideal temperature for optimal cleaning and drying performance. All plumbing and spray nozzles remain stainless steel.
