Automatic Cleaning and Defluxing

The Trident ZDO delivers fully automated washing, rinsing, and drying of PCBs and assemblies—removing all flux types and residues with zero-discharge operation.

  • Complete cleaning process: wash, rinse, and dry in one system
  • All flux compatibility: SMT, through-hole, and mixed assemblies
  • Asymmetrical fan-jet spray: thorough coverage on dense boards
  • Oscillating rack: ensures full spray penetration

Matched wash and rinse coverage ensures effective cleaning even in tight, low-standoff areas.

  • Scalable capacity: optional upper rack doubles throughput
  • Expandable system: dual chambers can quadruple output

Forced hot air convection combined with radiant drying ensures fast, complete drying at the end of each cycle.

Intelligent Chemical Management & Real-Time Monitoring

The Trident ZDO automates chemical dosing, mixing, and monitoring to ensure consistent cleaning performance with minimal operator involvement.

  • Automatic dosing & mixing: eliminates manual chemical handling
  • Reduced chemical waste: extends solution life
  • Real-time monitoring: cleanliness, temperature, and cycle status
  • System diagnostics: pressure and fluid level monitoring

Built-in gauges and alerts—including low-level alarms—help prevent interruptions and maintain consistent operation.

  • Maintenance tracking: usage-based service reminders
  • Visual alerts: indicators turn red when service is required

Advanced Statistical Process Control (SPC) & Traceability

The Trident ZDO provides full SPC data tracking for process validation, quality control, and compliance.

  • Comprehensive data logging: time, temperature, cleanliness, and cycle data
  • Program tracking: records cleaning parameters for each batch
  • Real-time visibility: view process data on-screen
  • Flexible export options: USB, network, or printer output

This ensures consistent performance, complete traceability, and easy integration into quality management systems.
