Hi Everyone!! We have in our Co.Aqueous SMT600-LD In the middle of the cycle a lot of foam even without putting any solvent to wash in the tank. Overflowing everything over the floor. What will be the cause of this? Please if someone can give me an explanation!!! Thanks

I may be mistaken but I believe that the solvents have defoaming agents in them. I get less foam when I use the solvent than when I don't.

If you dissolve the flux in water and agitate it I believe it will foam. I haven't had any over flow issues with foam.

At one time saponifiers were used instead of specialized solvents. Saponifir translates as "soap maker". It would turn oils in flux into soap.

Here's a link to an article regarding foam mitigation techniques. It my be helpful. There are many causes of foam. Water alone does not foam. Flux, solubilized in to the water can produce foam. Defluxing additives contain defaming agents which should prevent foam. There are several pre-cleaning process issues that can also result in foam. Here's a link to the foam mitigation article. I hope this helps!

Hi, Stephen. Thank you for the feedback. I want update my situation with the batch cleaner. I fallow all the suggestions that I received and I find out that; the water temperature was the reason. I raised to 150*F Regards Roberto

What temperature were you running it at previously?
