Spray etching machine Splash Center/Splash Center XL

Laboratory etching machine with static and spray rinse, integrated developer tank, a reserve tank for e.g. chemical tinning and a squeeze dryer. The Splash-Center is suitable for double-sided PCBs. Special emphasis was put on ergonomical and clean etching and rinsing as well as on low chemical drag out. A typical workflow for example is to use tank 1 (spray compartment) for etching, tank 2 and 3 for rinsing, tank 4 (with centrifugal pump) for developing and tank 5 for tinning.
