What is the operating cost of a Smart Sonic Stencil Cleaning Process?
The Models 1500 and 1550 will use approximately 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of 440-R SMT Detergent per month. The Model 6000 will use about 4 gallons (19 liters) per month. The energy required to operate the machines is very low because 440-R SMT Detergent is not heated, the ultrasonic generator has a very low amp draw and the cleaning cycles are very short. When using an optional evaporator to manage the wastewater, energy consumption is very low because wastewater is evaporated at a rate of 4 – 6 gallons per hour. Therefore, an evaporator servicing a Model 1500 or 1550 will only be operating approximately 10 – 12 hours per month (20 – 30 hours per month for a Model 6000).
