Conveyorized Electrolytic Cleaning

Reverse current, electrolytic cleaning (or anodic electrocleaning) has been utilized for many years as a surface preparation technique in a variety of industries. Only recently has this process been adapted for use in horizontal equipment, particularly suited for the surface preparation of materials used in printed circuit board manufacturing and in photochemical machining. This paper describes the development testing. and practical application of a conveyomed Electrolytic Cleaning System (ECS).
