RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA — Aqueous Technologies Corp. announces the release of SMT3000LD, its automatic defluxing and cleanliness testing system in distributor Shanghai Jamron Electronic Engineering Co. booth 1D40, at the upcoming NEPCON/EMT South China exhibition and conference - scheduled to take place August 26 - 29, 2008, at the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center in Shenzhen, China.

SMT3000LD is capable of removing all flux residues including rosin, no-clean and water soluble. Both lead and lead-free flux residues may be removed using the system, and it is equipped with an automatic chemical injection system that automatically adds a programmable volume of defluxing chemical to the wash water.

SMT3000LD is equipped with a closed-loop wash solution recycling system. Wash solution is heated automatically and sprayed onto the assemblies. At the end of the wash cycle, the wash solution is directed back to the wash solution holding tank for subsequent reuse. Rinse water is then sprayed onto the assemblies until the desired cleanliness level is achieved. All rinse water is directed through the pre-drain filtration system then sent to drain. Assemblies are dried via the on-board convection and radiant forced air drying system.

SMT3000LD is further equipped with a host of standard features including programmable maintenance reminders, remote SPC viewing, SPC data USB export and a built-in chemical management system. An optional zero-discharge evaporation system eliminates connection to a drain line.

The automatic defluxing system is reportedly the fastest batch-format defluxing system available. SMT3000LD specific throughput rate is determined by board size. The SMT3000LD is capable of defluxing and cleanliness testing up to 200 101 x 152 mm boards and up to 457 x 508 mm boards per hour.
