The ACTSPRAY DC760 SMT Magazine Inline Cleaning Machine is an automated cleaning system designed for the continuous cleaning of SMT magazines, PCB magazines and electronic assembly magazines used in automotive electronics, communications, medical electronics, defense and other high-reliability manufacturing industries.

The DC760 removes dust, particles and process contaminants from both the inner and outer surfaces of SMT magazines through a complete automated process consisting of pre-wash, spray cleaning, DI water rinsing, air drying and two-stage hot air drying.

The magazine is automatically transferred from the upstream loading buffer onto the stainless steel mesh conveyor. At the preset conveyor speed, it passes sequentially through each cleaning and drying section before being transferred to the downstream unloading buffer.

With adjustable and real-time monitored cleaning pressure, rinse pressure, air knife pressure, hot air drying pressure, cleaning temperature, rinse temperature and drying temperature, the DC760 provides stable and repeatable cleaning performance for automated SMT production environments.

The machine uses PC + PLC control, supports bilingual operation, and can be integrated with upstream and downstream equipment through SMEMA signals. Optional MES connectivity and automatic barcode scanning are available for production traceability and factory automation.

Cleaning Process

The DC760 uses a complete inline cleaning and drying process:

Magazine Loading → Pre-Wash → Washing → Rinsing → Air Drying→ Drying 1 → Drying 2 → Magazine Unloading

1. Pre-Wash

The pre-wash section provides initial removal of dust and loose particles from the magazine before the main cleaning stage.

2. Spray Washing

High-pressure spray washing is performed from multiple directions.

The system provides simultaneous upper, lower, left and right spray coverage, helping clean both the inner and outer surfaces of the magazine.

Cleaning spray pressure is variable-frequency controlled and can be adjusted according to the magazine design and contamination level.

3. Spray Rinsing

A dedicated DI water rinse section removes remaining particles and cleaning residues.

DI water resistivity is monitored in real time to help maintain stable rinse water quality.

The rinse water is refreshed through a rear-to-front overflow system, helping improve the cleanliness of the magazines.

4. Air Drying

A high-pressure air drying section removes water from the magazine surface before the thermal drying stages.

Two adjustable SUS304 stainless steel air knives are positioned at the upper-left and lower-right sides.

Both air knife pressure and angle can be adjusted.

5. Drying 1

The first drying section accelerates water-air separation and removes residual moisture before final hot air drying.

6. Drying 2

The second drying section uses heated air for final drying.

The drying temperature is adjustable up to 100°C, while the air pressure is electronically monitored.

Two SUS304 stainless steel air knives provide upper and lower air flow.

Key Features

1. SUS304 Stainless Steel Construction

The entire machine is constructed from SUS304 stainless steel using argon arc welding.

The welded structure provides:

• High mechanical strength
• Good corrosion resistance
• Resistance to acid and alkali environments
• Long-term industrial durability
• Easy maintenance

2. Full Inline Automated Operation

The DC760 is designed for integration into automated SMT production lines.

Magazines are automatically transferred through:

Loading Buffer → Cleaning Machine → Unloading Buffer

Automatic magazine buffering reduces manual handling and improves production efficiency.

Each buffer section can store up to 3 magazines.

3. Three-Stage Washing and Rinsing System

The cleaning system combines:

• Pre-wash
• Main washing
• DI water rinsing

Spray cleaning is performed from multiple directions to improve coverage of both the internal and external surfaces of SMT magazines.

4. Adjustable and Monitored Cleaning Pressure

Cleaning and rinsing pressures are controlled by variable-frequency drives.

The system provides real-time pressure monitoring, allowing operators to monitor pressure changes during production.

This helps maintain consistent cleaning performance and provides early indication of abnormal process conditions.

5. Three-Level Filtration

The washing section incorporates a three-stage filtration system for circulating DI water.

The filtration system helps remove particles from the circulating cleaning water and supports stable water quality during continuous operation.

6. DI Water Quality Monitoring

The rinse section includes a DI water resistivity monitoring system.

The system can monitor rinse water quality in real time to help maintain the required cleanliness level.

DI water can also be automatically replenished according to the system configuration.

7. Rear-to-Front Water Overflow

Rinse water is refreshed through a rear-to-front overflow arrangement.

This continuous water replacement helps reduce contamination accumulation and improve final magazine cleanliness.

8. Dual Drying System

The DC760 uses two dedicated drying stages.

Drying 1 accelerates water separation.

Drying 2 uses heated air and high-pressure air flow for final moisture removal.

The two-stage design improves drying efficiency and helps ensure the magazine exits the machine dry.

9. Adjustable Air Knife System

The air drying section uses two air knives with adjustable Air pressure & Air knife angle.

This allows the air flow to be optimized for different magazine structures.

10. Temperature Control and Protection

Each major process section is equipped with temperature sensing.

The heating system uses PID temperature control with over-temperature alarm and protection.

The system provides:

• Cleaning temperature monitoring
• Rinse temperature monitoring
• Drying temperature monitoring
• Dual temperature sensing

11. Automatic Leakage Detection

The machine is equipped with automatic water leakage detection.

An alarm is generated if abnormal water leakage is detected.

12. Liquid Level Protection

Liquid tanks are equipped with high- and low-level detection.

The system provides automatic alarm and protection to help prevent abnormal operation caused by insufficient or excessive liquid levels.

13. Automatic Magazine Detection

Sensors at the machine inlet and outlet detect magazine movement.

The system supports:

• Magazine entry detection
• Magazine exit detection
• Magazine quantity memory
• Timeout detection
