PCB and PCBA Cleaning Machines That Wash, Rinse and Dry in One Pass

SAMTRONIK builds PCB and PCBA cleaning machines in Shenzhen for two different production habits: boards that have to be cleaned inside the line, and boards, stencils and jigs that arrive at a cleaning station in batches. The in-line models — SME-6300 and SME-6200 — take PCBA up to 600 mm and 500 mm wide from the soldering process through prewash, wash, pre-rinse, rinse, final rinse and hot-air drying in a single pass, with SMEMA handshaking, DI water resistivity monitoring and dosing pumps for chemical and DI water. The SME-5600 does the same job in a batch cabinet for two baskets at a time. Every model uses stainless steel 304 on all wetted pipework, valves and manifolds, with adjustable spray and air-knife pressure and protection from phase loss through to over-temperature — whatever it is called on your floor: an in-line PCBA cleaning machine, a batch PCBA cleaning machine or a misprint PCB clean machine.

Choose the PCBA Cleaning Machine That Fits Your Boards

All three machines clean, rinse and dry. The difference is where the board sits while that happens — on a conveyor moving at line height, or in a basket inside a cabinet.

PCBA In-Line Cleaning Machine

The water-economy model. A full SUS304 frame and pipework with a Mitsubishi PLC and bilingual touch panel, holding 20 cleaning recipes that are edited per product and recalled at the touch of a button. A high-pressure vertical pump pushes clean and rinse water up to 120 PSI, and the overflow rinse section pushes fresh DI water from the back forward so a board always meets water that has not already been used. Fault history is stored and readable at the panel.

  • PCBA max size500 mm (W) × 100 mm (H)
  • Cleaning recipes20 groups, editable and stored
  • Rinse pressureUp to 120 PSI vertical pump
  • ControlMitsubishi PLC, touch panel, fault history
  • Water savingOverflow rinse and light-curtain standby mode

PCBA Cleaning Machine, Batch Cabinet

The batch model. Cleaning, rinsing and drying happen in one compact cabinet with a heated dilution tank, and the whole cycle stays visible through the front window under LED light. Nozzles are split left and right with an upper and lower offset so there is no cleaning blind area, and spray pressure is adjustable so small, light boards are not knocked around by the jet. It takes PCBA as well as stencils, plastic mesh, scrapers and furnace jigs.

  • Cleaning basket610 × 560 × 100 mm × 2 layers
  • Tanks30 L concentration, 60 L dilution, 18 L spray
  • ProcessClean, rinse and dry in one cabinet
  • Dilution ratio5% to 25%, manual or automatic
  • Cleaning targetsRosin, water-soluble and no-clean flux, solder paste residue

Which Machine Fits Which Job

Three machines, three ways of working. Pick by the board and the position on the line, not by the cleaning result — all three clean to the same standard.

Wide Boards, In Line

600 mm PCBA straight out of the soldering process with prewash and wash sections, PC + PLC control, MES connection and inlet and outlet sensors that count boards and hold them back when a downstream machine is not ready.

Standard Boards, Least Water

500 mm PCBA at up to 120 PSI, with an overflow rinse that replaces used DI water from the back and a light-curtain sensor that stops the machine when no board has arrived for a set time.

Batch Loads and Jigs

One cabinet cleans, rinses and dries two baskets at a time, including stencils, plastic mesh, scrapers and furnace jigs — with the cycle visible through the front window instead of buried inside a tunnel.

Misprints and Rework

Boards pulled out of the line for re-printing, and printed boards that need the paste taken off before a second attempt, run through the same machines — that is the job buyers call a misprint PCB clean machine.

Six Stages, One Pass: What Happens Inside the In-Line Machine

The tunnel is the machine. A board enters at one end and comes out dry at the other, and each stage below is a separate section with its own sensors, pumps and protection.

  1. PrewashThe board is wet down first with adjustable spray pressure and angle, so flux residue softens instead of being pushed further into the assembly.
  2. WashHeated chemical wash fed from a concentrated liquid tank with automatic temperature control. Two condensation devices recover evaporated chemical, which is what keeps the running cost down.
  3. Pre-rinseThe bulk of the chemical is taken off before the rinse stages, so the DI water that follows is not saturated the moment it touches the board.
  4. RinseDI water rinse with overflow: fresh water enters from the back of the section and pushes used water forward. On the SME-6200 the rinse pump reaches 120 PSI.
  5. Final rinseThe last rinse is monitored by a resistivity sensor on the DI water supply pipe, so the water quality reaching the board is a measured number rather than an assumption.
  6. Hot-air dryAdjustable air knives blow the water off with over-temperature protection on the hot-air section, and the board leaves dry enough to go straight into AOI.

Custom & OEM PCB and PCBA Cleaning Machines

The three standard models cover most boards. When the contamination, the board or the paperwork is not standard, we change the machine instead of asking you to live with a compromise.

Custom Section LayoutTunnel length, conveyor width and the number of prewash, wash and rinse sections set to your board and your chemistry — some lines need an extra rinse, others only need the first two stages.
Custom Baskets and FixturesRacks built around what you actually clean — PCBA, stencils, wave solder pallets, squeegees or jigs — so the cabinet works as a complete assembled PCB cleaning system instead of a washer whose basket half fits.
Custom Water and ChemistryDI water resistivity target, chemical isolation, dilution ratio range and dosing pumps matched to the detergent you want to run, from pH-neutral aqueous chemistries to no-clean flux removal.
Custom Control and RecordsRecipe count, MES connection, board counting, panel language and fault-history export configured around the records your own production system has to keep.
OEM and ODM BrandingColour, nameplate, labels, manual and packing under your own brand, with SAMTRONIK staying the factory behind the machine.
Documentation and ComplianceCE documentation, dimensional drawings, operation manuals and inspection records prepared for your import, factory audit and process qualification.

Built, Tested and Packed Before It Ships

A cleaning machine is only worth buying if the boards come out clean and dry. These are the three stages every order passes through before your container.

SAMTRONIK workshop where in-line PCBA cleaning machines are built Built and assembled in house Tunnels, tanks, spray manifolds, rinse sections, filtration loops and control panels are fabricated and assembled in our own Shenzhen workshop, so an extra section or a custom basket is made on the factory floor rather than bought in.
PCBA cleaning machine tested with boards before packing Cleaning result checked before packing Every unit runs a full wash, rinse and dry cycle with boards at your dimensions, and spray pressure, air-knife angle, liquid temperature and rinse water resistivity are recorded against your order number.
Packed PCBA cleaning machine prepared for export shipment Packed for export Fumigation-free crating with export documentation matched to the invoice, shipped by sea, air or express so a tunnel arrives on site without a bent frame or a missing manifold.

Why SMT Teams Buy Their PCB Cleaning Machine From SAMTRONIK

Most of our cleaning machine business comes from repeat orders — the tunnel arrives with the sections and recipes your boards need, and the support continues after delivery.

CE Certified, One-Year WarrantyEvery in-line and batch machine ships with CE documentation and a one-year warranty that stands up in an import or factory audit.
Reply Within 24 HoursBoard size, section layout, DI water targets and quotations are answered in English by the same engineers who build the machines.
Cleaning Result VerifiedBoards run through the in-line tunnel, or through the batch cleaning cabinet, are checked for residue before packing and the record is kept on file against your order.
Export Packing and ShippingFumigation-free crates and full export documents, shipped by sea, air, DHL, UPS or FedEx to suit your market.
