Metal & PCB Chemical Cleaning Machine
Production-grade chemical cleaning machine for pre-etch surface activation and post-etch finish preparation. Combines oil removal, mild pickling, and a deionized-water final rinse into a single conveyorized line. The compact 7.8-meter footprint and 33 kW motor / 16 kW heater specification make it the lowest-utility-cost cell in a typical wet processing line — yet it is the cell that determines downstream plating adhesion and final yield.
Why This Equipment
- Three-stage cleaning in one pass — oil removal, pickling, DI rinse — replaces three standalone tanks.
- DI-water final rinse — no mineral residue on the dried panel; critical for downstream coating/plating adhesion.
- Compact footprint (under 8 m) — fits as an in-line cell in space-constrained shops without sacrificing process completeness.
- Low utility cost — 33 kW + 16 kW is half the power draw of an SES or DES line, making this the most cost-efficient cleaning cell to operate.
- Cross-material compatibility — same bath topology serves stainless, copper, aluminum, and titanium families.
Engineering Specifications
Where This Equipment Fits in the Production Line
Chemical cleaning can sit either BEFORE etching (surface activation) or AFTER stripping (final finish). In high-yield production lines we recommend running it BOTH places — front cleans the incoming sheet, back cleans the etched panel before plating or coating. Pairs naturally with the Precision Acid Cleaning Machine for tougher oxide jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in commissioning?
On-site installation supervision by our engineering team, full mechanical and electrical commissioning, recipe loading and validation against three reference panel formats, operator training (typically 3–5 days), and one year of remote process support.
What is the warranty?
Standard one-year warranty against manufacturing defects, plus lifetime maintenance support — spare parts are stocked and shipped from Shenzhen on order.
Are CE / UL / SEMI compliance packages available?
Yes. CE, UL listing, and SEMI S2 / S8 compliance packages are engineering options. Specify at order time so wetted parts, electrical, and safety circuits are sized accordingly. Compliance documentation accompanies the equipment at delivery.
Why DI water for the final rinse?
Tap water leaves Ca / Mg / Cl mineral residue when it evaporates from the panel surface. Those mineral spots become adhesion failure sites under downstream coating or plating. Final-stage DI rinse removes them, so the panel goes to the next process with a clean, ion-free surface.
