Stencil cleaning in screen printing machines

A disadvantage of these automatic-cleaning units is the fact that only solder paste removal is possible. The main problem associated with cleaning the stencil underside of adhesive stencils is that it does not remove the adhesive from the stencil holes. This means that only the surface is cleaned, while the holes are untouched. Cleaning agents suitable for this application already exist. 

The cleaning process, which a user finally selects, depends to a major extent on the operating conditions. Each process has its own specific advantages and disadvantages, so users are supported by advice and testing. These can be accomplished under tightly simulated process conditions by a technical center.
