Deflux machine, MICROCLEANER_®

Cleaning machine by a cleaning agent manufacturer
KAKEN TECH_®, a manufacturer of cleaning agents, is the only company that also designs and manufactures its own cleaning equipment. By taking an approach from both the cleaning agent and the cleaning machine, KAKEN TECH_® proposes a cleaning process that is appropriate for the type of solder flux to be cleaned, the size and amount of workpiece to be cleaned.

High quality and low cost with complete recycling
The MICROCLEANER_® flux cleaner comes standard with a compact Distiller(Distillation and recycling device). The Distiller(Distillation and recycling device) continuously purifies and recycles the markless_® of the dedicated rinsing agent, ensuring that the final rinse tank is always in a state of high cleanliness, thus maintaining high cleaning quality. Furthermore, this flux cleaner achieves low running costs by eliminating wastewater and waste liquids.

Compact and friendly design
Since we design and manufacture our own cleaning equipment, we are able to design and propose cleaning machines that match the size and amount of work to be cleaned, from compact equipment to large, automatic transfer mechanism-equipped cleaning machines for mass production plants. For example, we have experience in the development of ultra-compact cleaning equipment with a 4-tank system and Distiller with a width of 120 cm, as well as cleaning equipment with a width of less than 2 m and designed to be easily moved for easy line changes.

Flux cleaning agent MICROCLEAN & Markless_®

KAKEN TECH_® has developed and proposed a unique cleaning process using a glycol-based cleaning agent MICROCLEAN + a water-containing alcohol rinse agent with MARKLESS_®. KAKEN TECH_®'s original cleaning agents and rinsing agents cover the disadvantages of hydrocarbon-based cleaning agents and quasi-aqueous cleaning systems.

High performance, low VOC flux cleaning agent MICROCLEAN ECO and MARKLESS_® ECO

Flux cleaning is indispensable for ensuring the reliability of high-density mounting boards. Amidst the tightening of regulations on chemical substances, such as the discontinuation of CFC substitutes in accordance with environmental regulations and VOC regulations under China's GB standard, KAKEN TECH_® has developed the “MICROCLEAN ECO & MARKLESS_® ECO Series” of high-performance, low-VOC cleaning agents that combine further high-precision cleaning with environmental friendliness.

Cleaning equipment

This article explains the basics of designing a flux cleaning process, as well as typical cleaning systems that have been used in the mounting process and examples of cleanliness control.

What is flux, the leading actor of soldering ?

In addition to what flux is, its role, composition, and types, we will also explain the problems caused by flux residue left after soldering and how to prevent them.

Tips on flux cleaning

Flux cleaning is a process to remove flux residue that is generated at the same time as soldering when mounting electronic components. This page explains why flux is cleaned, what cleaning methods are available, and what is required for efficient cleaning.
