Nordson ASYMTEK: Trailblazing Process News for Conformal Coating

Say goodbye to clogged nozzles and hello to flawless conformal coating with the ASYMTEK Select Coat SL-1040 Ultrasonic Cleaning Station.

Keeping nozzles clean can be tricky. Traditionally, when production is idle, conformal coating nozzles are positioned in static solvent cups to prevent material from building up, curing, or drying. Unfortunately, this method does not ensure cleanliness. The SL-1040 Ultrasonic Cleaning station delivers a clean that won't harm your equipment and removes build-up that static cleaning methods can't touch. This preventive maintenance stops issues before they occur, to sustain smooth, high-yield operations.

To learn more, talk to the conformal coating experts in Booth 3200 and online here.
