Nutek NTM5000-L In-Line PCB Cleaning Machine

The NTM5000-L removes dust, particles, and glass fibres from the surface of bare printed circuit boards to improve cleanliness and help avoid defects downstream.

The machine operates at speeds between 2 to 14 meters per minute, allowing flexibility depending on throughput requirements.

It supports PCBs between 0.6 mm and 4 mm in thickness, making it suitable for most standard boards.

• Power: It runs off 100 VAC or 230 VAC, single phase.
• Air pressure required is 4-6 bar, with an air consumption of about 2 litres/minute max.

For the “L” version: dimensions are approximately 750 × 1050 × 1330 mm (L × W × H), fixed point to front 220 mm, and weight about 200 kg.

• The unit has a user-friendly touch screen panel.
• It includes a preset PCB counter with warning alarms to indicate when adhesive rolls need changing.
• Double-side cleaning is selectable.
• Static elimination on both sides helps reduce electrostatic issues.

• It has an internal conveyor system to buffer boards before cleaning.
• Smooth and parallel width adjustment (via lead-screw) allows it to accommodate varying board widths.
• It is SMEMA compatible, meaning it can align with standard interfaces used in SMT production lines.

• It is specifically for bare PCB cleaning; it does not clean populated boards.
• Speed / throughput depends on board cleanliness needs; very fine particulates may require slower speeds or multiple passes. (Inferred from speed range and cleaning capability.)
• Adhesive rolls will need regular replacement; the machine provides an alarm for this but there is still maintenance overhead.
• Air supply and facility infrastructure must support the 4-6 bar and air flow requirements, and space must accommodate its physical size (~200kg, >1.3m tall).
