Carrier pallet cleaning

What is carrier pallets?

	In the mounting process for electronic components, a pallet is a jig for transporting and masking that uses heat-resistant resin, as shown in the diagram on the left. Pallets are also called wave soldering pallets, solder pallets, dip pallets, carrier pallets, etc.
	This carrier pallet is used in the wave soldering process. In the wave soldering process, the carrier pallet is fitted with openings only in the areas where the inserted components are to be soldered, while covering the areas where the surface mount components already mounted on the board are not to come into contact with the solder. The components are then soldered by passing them over the raised molten solder in the wave solder bath.
	The carrier pallet is designed to ・protect the parts already mounted and their joints from the heat applied during the wave soldering process ・efficiently apply solder to the parts to be joined during the wave soldering process.

Cleaning of carrier pallets

In the wave soldering process, the circuit boards set on the carrier pallets are first sprayed with flux. They are then passed over a bath of molten solder to complete the soldering process.

At this time, flux may also adhere to the edges of the openings of the carrier pallets, and due to the flux that adheres, the solder may creep up and adhere to the masked areas. For this reason, the carrier pallets need to be cleaned regularly.

Lineup of carrier pallet cleaning systems

KAKEN TECH's carrier pallet cleaning system uses a shower-type cleaning machine and a specially formulated cleaning agent to achieve powerful, high-speed cleaning!
We have a lineup of three different models of cleaning machine to suit the size of the pallets and the amount of pallets to be processed. We also introduce the PALLETCLEAN series of specially formulated cleaning agents.
