HIGH VOLUME AUTO CO2 CLEANING SYSTEM

The CleanFlex
TM automated spray cleaning system is an extremely economical and flexible robotic precision cleaning solution. Proven in critical applications, its cost-per-clean and absolute consistency are unmatched. Twin Omega™ modules purify, condense and store ultraclean liquid CO2 from low cost bulk CO2 gas.

Since it’s a single-use cleaning solution, you’ll never get drag-out from previous parts. Every recipe uses virgin material so the results are exactly the same, month after month. And unlike any type of contact cleaning method, SnoShear™ can’t generate residuals as its dry ice snowballs complete vaporize. Your parts are Clean… pure and simple.

 

Engineered for reliability, it will thoroughly clean thousands of parts per day with minimal operator labor. They simply load pallets through the light curtain protected port onto the four-bay carousel. Automatic parts detection triggers up to 10 different recipes, ensuring instantaneous particulate and thin film removal. Pre-programmed cleaning motions provide accurate delivery, down tiny orifices and across precision assemblies.

Angles of impact, nozzle distance, speed-of-trajectory and host of other variables are custom tailored to match the specific needs of your parts. Plus you’ll enjoy an easy to use touch screen interface that allows you to adjust key parameters.

Exclusive independent controls for thrust and snow generation, snow temperature monitoring and a full range additional I/O complete the package. The fully enclosed work zone is ruggedly built for years of operation within standard or clean room conditions.

FLEXIBLE AUTOMATED CLEANING

Now SnoShear™ cleaning and BlueFire™ CO2 plasma technology are combined in a large format surface prep system.  The SnoBot™ Workcell series can handle substrates or fixtures up to 24 inches square providing cleaning and surface modification like never before.  Within the interlocked and exhausted enclosure, parts are thoroughly scrubbed with pure snowballs to remove gross surface contamination.  Momentum transfer blasts particles away while the instantaneous solvent power of 

liquid CO2 creates quickly removed gels.  Then a powerful jet of BlueFire™ plasma breaks the bonds of tough organics like a jackhammer with a microscopic combination of UV light, ozone, oxygen radicals and heat. A final pass with CO2 snow blows sub-micron debris away. 

Test results prove parts are hyper clean, better than dangerous solvents and without costly and time-consuming multiple processing stations.  Your parts are ready for wire bonding, gluing, imprinting, assembly or other secondary operations where reduced surface tension makes coatings flow rapidly and completely.

Flexible Automated Cleaning

SnoShear™ cleaning is an extremely rapid process. In a fraction of a second it removes thin films, fluxes and particles. It leaves no residue for it uses only clean, non-toxic carbon dioxide and no drying is required.

Its' 5mm circle of cleanliness is perfect for spot cleaning complex components or bonding pads on stuffed circuit cards. For larger areas this high efficiency plume can be sped at 300mm a second or even faster. Imagine pristine optics, crisp ceramic parts or sensitive assemblies quickly adding to your bottom line.
