Automatic steam cleaning of Electronics contact tracks
Keeping contact surfaces clean and free of oxides is essential to ensure conductivity, reliability and long-term performance in the Electronics industry. In many industrial plants, cleaning is still performed manually by operators, often using unsuitable tools or improvised methods.
In some cases, this operation is outsourced, raising questions not only about compliance, but also about process consistency, operator safety and long-term quality.
REA has developed an automated solution for steam cleaning of contact tracks on continuous production lines. This technology enables repeatable, non-contact, residue-free cleaning without interrupting the production process.
By automating this step, REA offers a controlled and professional alternative that guarantees:
- Repeatable, operator-independent process
- Nonabrasive cleaning for delicate or finished surfaces
- No chemicals – only demineralized water and steam
- In-line integration – no production downtime
- Improved surface quality, better preparation for the next steps
Automatic steam cleaning is now also applied in metalworking environments, where effective degreasing of components is critical prior to painting, welding, bonding or quality control operations.
