Reproducible and reliable soldering results in reflow, wave and selective soldering systems can ideally only be achieved if the solder frames and subracks used are in optimum condition. The same also applies to components in the machines. Filter systems, perforated plates, transport chains and condensate traps in reflow soldering systems require regular maintenance. Transport fingers, chains and machine parts in wave and selective soldering systems must be cleaned as part of regular machine maintenance. In addition to efficient cleaning performance as an important selection criterion, the focus is on the cleaning media used, particularly in the automotive and semiconductor sectors.
The raw materials used and their reliability are of crucial importance, as impurities can be transferred to the assembly in the event of contact. Comprehensive process knowledge, trained specialist personnel and reliable cleaning innovations guarantee that reproducible results can be achieved in the field of electronics production. DIW Instandhaltung GmbH, Dortmund, and Emil Otto Flux- und Oberflächen GmbH, Eltville, combine all these qualities. The two companies have therefore agreed to cooperate with immediate effect.
For over 25 years, DIW Instandhaltung GmbH, a company of the STRABAG Group, has stood for reliable system maintenance in electronics production. For the cleaning of wave soldering systems, reflow ovens or filter systems and subracks, the DIW team offers maintenance solutions that are optimally tailored to customer requirements. Emil Otto has stood for reliable flux innovations and efficient cleaning solutions since 1901. The Etimol cleaners in particular are valued and successfully used by leading electronics manufacturers worldwide due to their efficient effect, high work safety and optimum process reliability. For electronics manufacturers who outsource machine maintenance and cleaning work, the combined cleaning expertise of both cooperation partners is available at all times.
