Eco-Friendly Drying Solutions for PCBs with Sonic’s Rotary Air Knife Technology

Overview
‍
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are essential components in electrical devices. Their manufacturing process presents several challenges that can impact their quality and reliability, making efficient drying methods crucial. The transition from CFC chemicals in the PCB industry required a reliable, hi-tech, and eco-friendly drying solution for the new aqueous circuit board washers, as any moisture remaining on the board can lead to problems.

Solution

‍While other drying methods can be slow and inefficient, Sonic's powerful air blowers and rotary air knife technology effectively dry PCBs and other manufacturing processes that have shifted to water-based cleaning methods. They are designed to provide uniform, controlled, and efficient drying that effectively removes moisture from PCBs, resulting in improved production efficiency and reduced operational costs. Sonic’s patented rotary air life design is self-propelled and reduces drying energy by 25-50% versus stationary air knives. It delivers the highest efficiency in air knife performance.
