As part of our ongoing commitment to quality, reliability, and continuous improvement, Elite has recently invested in the MBtech NC25 – a cutting-edge PCB cleaning system designed to enhance our manufacturing capabilities and support the evolving needs of our customers across high-reliability sectors.
This latest addition to our facility introduces a new level of precision and performance in our cleaning processes, helping to ensure product integrity, process efficiency, and full compliance with industry standards.
Why the MBtech NC25?
After an extensive review of the PCB cleaning systems available in the marketplace, Mark McBride, Technical Manager at Elite, selected the MBtech NC25 based on its superior drying performance and overall system efficiency.
“After reviewing what options were available, we selected the MBtech NC25 predominantly because of its drying performance. Having the combination of forced convection and vacuum in the drying stage means we can be confident that the PCBs will exit the system completely dry, ready to go straight into the conformal coating process.
In addition, the Spray Under Immersion (SUI) technology in the cleaning stage gave us the confidence that the assemblies would be thoroughly cleaned. Coupled with the compact footprint and low running costs, the NC25 was the obvious choice.”
Key Features of the MBtech NC25
💠 Spray Under Immersion (SUI) Cleaning
This patented cleaning process delivers deep, uniform cleaning even on complex PCB assemblies, removing flux residues and contaminants from hard-to-reach areas.
💠 Vacuum Drying Process with Forced Convection
The system’s advanced drying capabilities ensure all boards exit the chamber completely dry, preventing moisture-related issues and reducing process delays.
💠 100% Closed-Loop Operation
Both washing and rinsing cycles are fully closed-loop, dramatically reducing waste and chemical consumption – helping us meet our sustainability goals without compromising on performance.
Raising the Bar in Quality and Compliance
With this investment, Elite continues to reinforce its position as a trusted EMS provider to customers operating in some of the world’s most demanding and regulated environments. The MBtech NC25 not only streamlines our workflow but also strengthens our ability to deliver consistent, high-reliability products.
At Elite, we believe quality is built into every stage of the process – and this investment is another step towards ensuring that standard remains uncompromised.
