Rinse Configurations for Conveyorized Equipment

All of the processes used in photo chemical machining and in the manufacture of printed circuit boards include many common sub-processes. One of the most common of these sub-processes is rinsing. Some form of rinsing appears in nearly all of the wet processes. In the past, rinsing was often treated only as a necessary evil with very little consideration given to the various rinse configurations that could be used. Today, environmental concerns and operating cost pressures are forcing the consideration of alternative rinse configurations.
