What the rub on all of the different batch cleaner manufacturers? I haven't been impressed with Unit Design or Aqueous Tech.

Have you looked at AAT? They have some pretty good batch cleaners

What are the issues that concern you about Unit Design and Aqueous Technology?

For other supplier recommedations, look for the 'usual suspects' here: http://www.smtnet.com/Forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=50449

I wasn't fond of the help ticket approach to tech support that Aqueous Tech. uses. Our buyer reports a lot of "communication issues" (as they don't seem to be very responsive).

I could burn Unit Design until they call in the fire trucks. I'll just say that we had a lot of problems with them, but once it was all said and done, the machine worked well and their main Engineer is a pleasant and knowledgeable fellow.

Thanks for the link! --- Now does anyone want to loan me ~$20K

On a related matter, I've always worked with batch cleaners. The concepts driving the in line defluxing systems seem solid, but I hear that they are expensive and prone to leaks. Any substantive advice from the SMT community?
