Stripper TS

The TALUS conveyorized strippers are designed for rapid and efficient removal of resist, whether film or ink, after electroplating or chemical etching operations. The unique spray system utilizing two types of nozzles coupled with aqueous or semi-aqueous stripping solutions assures rapid breakup of the resist coating and thorough cleansing of the base substrate.

TALUS strippers may be operated as separate systems or may be combined with other modules for fully integrated wet processing lines.

Design Features:

The TALUS conveyorized Stripper System combines the highest precision with trouble-free operation and complete process control. The polypropylene and #316 stainless steel construction is compatible with a wide range of process chemistries and temperatures up to 1650F (750C).

The spray system consists of perpendicular flat spray nozzles with overlapping patterns. All nozzles are staggered, manifold to manifold, to assure uniformity of fluid coverage throughout the stripper system.

The high pressure pump is a 5 HP air gap type, with counter flow impeller and is constructed of polypropylene and #316SS The system is equipped with dual control valves for independent adjustment of pressure/flow rate through upper and lower manifolds. Sillicone anti-dragout pinch rollers at the entry and exit of the stripper chamber reduce chemical dragout, which in turn greatly reduces rinse water contamination problems. The lift-out filters are removable from the outside of the machine and the double filter system makes it possible to clean the filters while the system is in operation.

The conveyor drive system is of the worm gear type with Noryl worm gears, mounted on a #316 stainless steel main drive shaft. The shaft runs through double Rulon bushings for support and process fluid isolation. The mating drive gears are Teizel and the conveyor shafts are #316 SS with Rulon bushings.

Now TALUS offers UniCast molded polypropylene construction for main stripper sumps. There are no welded seams. The sump is one piece, eliminating possible welded joint leaks. This is the first major breakthrough in stripper construction since conveyorization. The solution is restricted to the lower sump when the unit is turned off. This enhances the maintenance of chemical balance.
