Comparison of Different Cleaning Methods
Hot air gun + Alcohol + PCB wash water
1. Hand washing leads to significant differences in effect.
2. It is impossible to thoroughly clean the nozzle cavity and the surface of the nozzle.
3. The cleaning solution may penetrate and cause the reflective layer to peel off.
Ultrasonic cleaner

C716 Nozzle Cleaning Machine
- Miniaturization and high-density surface mount technology pose a challenge to current SMT assembly techniques. Among the factors affecting the pick-up and placement rate of surface mount machines, issues with nozzles account for 32%. In SMT production processes, the urgent need to address the maintenance and cleaning of nozzles has become apparent.
- The C716 series NEW MODE fully automatic nozzle cleaning machine adopts the latest cleaning technology, using only pure water and compressed air to solve the technical problem of nozzle maintenance, which accounts for 32% of the impact on SMT adhesion rate and placement rate.
- Simple to use, low-cost, pollution-free, and safe!
By atomizing water to generate ultra-fine water mist and forming a powerful kinetic energy with supersonic speed (V=360m/s), it effectively removes dirt from the surface and interior of the nozzles. Independent cleaning without damaging the nozzles. Using this device for daily maintenance cleaning of nozzles can achieve thorough cleaning in a safe manner. It reduces the cost of nozzle scrap caused by traditional cleaning methods, extends the lifespan of nozzles, and plays a crucial role in the maintenance of surface mount machines to ensure they operate in optimal conditions.
Multi-functional and user-friendly design:
- The machine adopts a touchscreen human-machine interface from Weintek in Taiwan, controlled by PLC.
- Pneumatic components use fully imported Japanese SMC pneumatic elements, ensuring stable and efficient operation.
- Key parts of the entire machine are made of imported Japanese 304 stainless steel, with special parts made of Japanese imported 316 stainless steel, to ensure the machine does not rust due to water use, thereby affecting the equipment’s lifespan and other safety hazards.
- Thoroughly solve dirt and impurities that are difficult to clean with ultrasonic technology.
- Will not leave residues due to increasingly smaller nozzle diameters.
- Cleaning is more thorough, directly extending the nozzle lifespan.
- No damage to the surface coating or reflector of the nozzle.
- Environmentally friendly cleaning with deionized water or distilled water.
- Automatic continuous cleaning and drying.
- Simple and convenient operation.
- Suitable for various types of surface mount machines.
- Comparison with Traditional Cleaning Methods
- Manual cleaning with air gun:
- Low efficiency, unable to clean the surface and inner cavity of the nozzle, easy to cause damage when using steel wire to clean the inner hole.
- Large differences in cleaning results.
- Use of cleaning fluid and alcohol may penetrate and cause the reflector layer to peel off.
- Ultrasonic cleaning:
- Low cost and high efficiency.
- During cleaning, nozzles may collide with each other, causing damage or peeling off the black surface coating.
- Cleaning fluid damages the surface coating of the nozzle, greatly shortening its lifespan.
- Unable to completely clean the surface and inner cavity of the nozzle.
- Difficulty in cleaning new 0201 nozzles due to their small inner holes, resulting in incomplete cleaning due to the formation of vacuum bubbles during ultrasonic cleaning.
- Economic Benefits
- Reduce the cost of purchasing nozzles:
- After using the C716 fully automatic nozzle cleaning machine, dirty nozzles can be effectively cleaned, thus extending their lifespan.
- Reduce unnecessary labor:
- Since the machine adopts fully automatic cleaning, there is no need for dedicated personnel; the entire process is completed automatically by the machine.
- Effectively reduce product defect rates and increase SMT production rates:
- A significant portion of production defects are caused by dirty nozzle surfaces and excessively dirty inner cavities, leading to material rejection or misplacement during placement, resulting in poor subsequent soldering. Using the cleaning machine can keep the nozzles in a new state at all times, greatly improving production efficiency.
