Aquastorm FSM (Free Standing Module) PCB Cleaner

The Aquastorm FSM is a free standing additional wash section that can be added to any exisiting in-line cleaning process.  The Aquastorm FSM is designed to add complete process flexibility.  Available for a ‘straight DI’ or ‘chemical wash with chemical isolation’ processes, the Aquastorm FSM provides that additional process flexibility without time and expense to convert your existing cleaner and/or replacing your existing cleaning process.

The process flexibility benefits include :

• Add a free standing chemistry wash with chemical isolation process to an existing straight DI cleaner.
• Add a free standing straight DI process to an existing chemistry based cleaner.
• Add an additional free standing wash section in front of your existing cleaner using the same cleaning process.
• The FSM can significantly reduce the time required to convert processes in a single wash configuration cleaner.  
• The extensive set of optional features to expand process capability include:
  • 15 HP wash pump with mixed spray technology
  • S jet nozzles in CI and PW
  • Chemical metering pump
  • Additional levels of filtration and misprint cleaning feature£ Digital flow meters

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.

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 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 patented Hurricane Jet™ applies high-impact force for tight spaces (DI Water applications only);
• The unique oscillating action of the patented S-Jet™ nozzle technology provides maximum flooding for low pressure applications (in-line);
• V-Jet provides complete flooding action for high pressure applications (in-line and batch);
• JIC (Jet Impact Cleaning) greatly improves cleaning under low-standoff components with omni-directional spray patterns, and eliminates board and component shadowing effects. (in-line and batch);
• Mechanical fluid delivery system balances flow and pressure to maximize the dynamic energy at the board surface level (in-line and batch);
• Chemical Isolation provides optimal process separation and minimizes chemistry consumption (in-line and batch).

• In-line features for small light-weight products (ie: mobile phone and semiconductor type products)
• Chemistry sampling port
• Digital flow meters
• Integrated sump tank with effluent transfer
