Seika Machinery, Inc., a provider of advanced machinery, materials and engineering services, highlighted its green technologies and presented the award-winning Solder Paste Recycling Unit which enables approximately 90 percent of waste solder paste to be recovered as solder bar. The system provides a major decrease in disposal costs for factory waste, a reduction in CO2 emissions, and reduced costs for solder bar as a result of recycling waste. As an additional benefit, the recycling unit is fully automated with the use of a touch screen panel. The new Sawa Eco-Roll wiper roll cleaner that cleans rolls up to 24“ and eliminates waste and saves money by reusing wiper rolls for SMT printing machines. In addition to providing a reduction in waste, use of the wiper roll cleaner results in reduced CO2 emissions. Wiper rolls are widely used for under stencil cleaning to wipe off solder paste in the SMT printing process. Most of them are used only once, then are disposed of with other solder waste. Recycling wiper rolls not only reduces emissions but also reduces lumber usage. In addition, tests have shown that repeated cleaning of wiper rolls does not compromise the performance when cleaning stencil apertures. Sawa Ecobrid is a fully automatic low-VOC emission stencil cleaner. The cleaner provides up to a 66 percent reduction in CO2 emissions, as well as a huge reduction in running costs. Additionally, the system cleans and dries in just five minutes.
