16 May 2016
German company, Kolb Cleaning Technology, manufactures environmentally friendly, efficient and economical water-based cleaning systems for stencils, PCBs, production tools, frames and maintenance applications. In the UK Altus stocks a range of its products, along with samples, to support the growing installed base of Kolb cleaning systems in the UK & Ireland.

Celebrating its development of intuitive chemistries over the last two decades, Kolb’s highly skilled technicians have now created MultiEx VR-SP, a multifunctional high-end broadband detergent designed for use on quality components.
Ready-mixed for direct use in Kolb systems with PowerSpray technology and common spray-in-air cleaning systems, MultiEx VR-SP is an aqueous alkaline cleaner suitable for ultra-fine cleaning of high-end electronic components or high-quality production tools. Most suitable for quick and thorough cleaning, it offers material protection to assembled PCBs, ceramic substrates, misprints, stencils, solder carriers, solder pallets, ESD boxes and PCB magazines.
Another new addition, the Kolb PSB700 series, offer process-safe fine cleaning of up to four screens, PumpPrints or stencils in one cycle from contaminations including SMD-adhesive, SMD-paste, flux, oil, dust or grease. All systems are certified to operate in solar cell production.
The newly-featured 'All-Round' systems of the PSB100 series offer reliable cleaning of PCBs and hybrids, fine cleaning of stencils, screens, and misprints and maintenance cleaning of solder frames, carriers, magazines, ESD boxes in one single system. Utilising the PowerSpray surround rotors system and PowerSpray technology, the system can produce a compact footprint with up to 30% less cycle time.
