PCB circuit board cleaning steps should prioritize innovation for energy conservation and emission reduction. PCB factories need to embrace Internet technology and implement automated monitoring and intelligent management in production by integrating comprehensive industry knowledge. PCB circuit boards are extensively utilized in China, and their manufacturing process generates pollutants such as flux and adhesive residues, as well as dust and debris. Failure to achieve a clean PCB surface can lead to issues like resistance and leakage, ultimately affecting product lifespan. Therefore, cleaning PCB circuit boards is a crucial manufacturing step.

1. Semi-aqueous cleaning primarily utilizes organic solvents and deionized water, along with specific active agents and additives. This method blends characteristics of both solvent and water-based cleaning. The organic solvents used are non-flammable, have a high flash point, low toxicity, and are safe to handle. However, they require rinsing with water followed by drying.

2. Water purification technology represents the future of clean technology development. Establishing pure water sources and wastewater treatment facilities is essential. By using water as the cleaning medium, surfactants, additives, corrosion inhibitors, and chelating agents are added to create a range of water-based cleaning agents capable of removing water-soluble and non-polar contaminants.

3. It is employed in soldering processes without the need for flux or solder paste cleaning. Following soldering, it proceeds directly to subsequent cleaning processes. This residue-free cleaning technology is widely adopted, particularly in mobile communication product manufacturing, as it substitutes efficiency for ozone-depleting substances (ODS).

4. Solvent cleaning primarily dissolves and removes pollutants using solvents. Due to its rapid volatilization and strong solubility, solvent cleaning requires straightforward equipment. Although the aforementioned cleaning technologies achieve certain cleaning effects, the challenge lies in achieving rapid and effective PCB board cleaning. This is where ultrasonic cleaning machines excel.

5. Ultrasonic cleaning machines utilize ultrahigh frequency (UHF) to convert into kinetic energy within a liquid medium, generating cavitation effects that form numerous minuscule bubbles. These bubbles impact the object’s surface, dislodging surface contaminants and achieving thorough cleaning. By ensuring liquid contact with all surfaces, ultrasonic cleaning eliminates hard-to-reach spots and cleans multiple objects simultaneously. It is highly efficient and fast, capable of completing cleaning cycles in approximately 15 minutes.

One of the significant advantages of ultrasonic cleaning is its ability to effectively restore and enhance pad and component performance while reducing electromagnetic interference.
