Critical Cleaning Equipment

COBEHN MODEL 1400

The Cobehn Model 1400 provides a low cost and environmentally friendly solution for the critical cleaning of electronic, mechanical, and optic devices from the very smallest to 12" in size that require cleaning to ensure long term reliability, appearance, or secondary process requirements.

Using a patented venturi design atomizing sprayer it gently removes both organic and inorganic contaminants including fluxes, oils, fingerprints, dust, and particulates. It can be used with virtually any solvent or alcohol to to thoroughly clean printed circuit and smt boards, micro-electronic components, optic devices, ball bearings, other precision mechanical devices, and any component requiring either basic or more critical cleaning.

Using only a minute amount of solvent its gentle impingement process quickly cleans and dries even the most intricate and complex components without the need to deal with any hazardous waste disposal issues. Devices are cleaned and dried in a one short 10 to 20 second process that can be performed without skilled labor.

Whether used in conjunction with, or as alternative to, ultrasonics, vapor degreasing, plasma, or simple hand cleaning,its cost effective and simple process have been used in a variety of manufacturing and lab applications installations for over 50 years.

Process Controlled Cleaning System 4450CA

"Mini Clean Room"

The Cobehn System 4450 "Mini Clear Room" is a process controlled, fully integrated cleaning and fume containment system designed for hi-rel applications which require strict control over the duration of the staging, cleaning, and drying cycles which make the Cobehn system so effective in cleaning in cleaning critical components.

A digital process controller provides the ability to program the number of seconds for each of the cycles to ensure the most effective and efficient cleaning and drying for each component, regardless of size or complexity of the device being cleaned. In addition, the controller allows the settings for both operating pressure and temperature to allow flexibility in using different solvents depending on the contaminant to be removed at each step of the manufacturing process. Once all parameters have been set, they can not be changed without access to the 4 digit security code.

The custom engineered stainless steel glove box serves two purposes. Not only does it provide a "mini clean room" environment to ensure components are not exposed to new contaminants after cleaning but it protects the technician from exposure to any vapors that might be present during the cleaning process. When connected to the Cobehn Fume Extractor unit the system becomes a self contained, air tight system protecting everyone within the work environment from chemical exposure.

Flexibility and adaptability is a trademark of all Cobehn equipment and the System 4450 is no exception. To ensure the ability to clean even larger devices the system is equipped standard with a dual nozzle and shut off valve to disable one nozzle when cleaning standard size components. Since larger size components generally require more flexibility in the cleaning process a simple switch converts the system to manual operation allowing the technician to control the length of the spray cycle using a foot pedal.

For larger volume applications the unique Cobehn design allows the incorporation of custom designed parts holding devices which, when combined with the air driven, oscillating parts transporter, permits the automated cleaning of multiple parts in a consistent and uniform manner with only minimal operator intervention to load and unload the parts racks.

CONSIDER THE FLEXIBILITY OF THE SYSTEM 4450

Dual nozzle precision crafted atomizing sprayers with shut off valve to enable single or dual operation

Digital interface processor controls staging, cleaning, and drying cycle times with adjustable volume sounder to indicate completion of cleaning process

Security lock out code prevents unauthorized changes to cleaning parameters

Custom #304 stainless steel glove box with large glass viewing area, top mounted fluorescent light, 16" x 16" access door, and choice of circular open ports, large rectangular opening, or fully sealed airtight ports

Lowest solvent usage equipment currently available in the market--- atomizing design of sprayers combined with continuing air flow ensures fast evaporation of chemical eliminating need for hazardous waste disposal

Elimination of all electrical devices inside the cleaning chamber allows use of virtually any solvent technology including alcohol

Heater disable feature and nitrogen blanketing inside chamber assure safe operation even with flammable solvents

Modular design allows up to 8 sprayers and pneumatically driven oscillator fixture to be retrofitted to base model without purchase of entire system

Console mounted switch coverts system from automatic to manual operation offering technician total control over cleaning process for specialized applications

American made to precise tolerances to ensure reliability and virtually maintenance free operation

Full 2 year warranty on processor components and 3 years on spray nozzles when used with Cobehn 2 micron filtered solvents

STAINLESS STEEL GLOVE BOX

The Cobehn Fume Containment Glove Box assures safety in the workplace by removing harmful vapors and odors from the work area into either the customers in house exhaust system or the Cobehn Fume Filtration unit. Fabricated of 16 gauge, #304 stainless steel, Cobehn's custom crafted glove box is resistant to virtually all commonly used solvents.

FEATURES:

small 30"x24" footprint preserves valuable clean room space
integral 3 port rear exhaust slots assure that vapors cannot escape into the work area
glass viewing area and top mounted exterior light illuminates the interior work area
12"x 12" locking hinged door allows easy access to the work area
front mounted iris ports permit handheld cleaning while prohibiting vapors from entering into the work area

FUME EXTRACTION EQUIPMENT

The unique nature of our industry occasionally dictates that a solvent be used that is toxic, emits VOC's, or has odors which are unpleasant in a work environment. The Cobehn Fume Filtration System, used in conjunction with the custom crafted glove box, provides the ultimate in work place safety. Available in a variety of sizes, these explosion rated units use activated carbon and pleated filters to remove flammable or noxious fumes and trap them completely. All emissions are contained, leaving only the filters to be changed when needed.

With the complete Fume Filtration System in place, the Cobehn process can safely be used in facilities without ventilation equipment as well as in parts of the country where increased environmental sensitivity is a factor.
