Incap Slovakia Upgrades PCBA Cleaning Technology
March 18, 2025 | IncapEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
At Incap Slovakia, maintaining high product quality requires continuous improvement in PCBA cleaning processes. Our new PCBA washing system is now fully operational, bringing enhanced cleaning performance, increased automation, and improved sustainability to our production.
The system features immersion cleaning with vacuum-integrated drying, ensuring effective removal of ionic contamination. This helps prevent oxidation, corrosion, and signal perturbation, leading to greater product reliability. Additionally, the automated process reduces handling time and skill requirements, making operations more efficient and consistent.
Key benefits of the upgrade:
- Higher cleaning quality – more effective contamination removal ensures greater product reliability.
- Automated pro
- cess – less manual handling improves consistency and efficiency.
- Sustainability gains – 50% reduction in water and energy usage per cleaning cycle.
- Stronger process control – improved reliability and consistency in manufacturing.
This investment aligns with Incap’s commitment to quality, efficiency, and sustainability, ensuring we continue to meet the highest industry standards while optimising our operations.
