DEK SMT Stencil Cleaning Roll

Dobeter supply a wide range of the DEK SMT Stencil Cleaning Roll, which is a high-performance, lint-free cleaning material designed to efficiently remove solder paste and residues from SMT stencil undersides, enhancing print quality and production yield in electronics assembly lines.

The DEK SMT stencil cleaning roll is a specialized roll of cleaning fabric or paper used in surface mount technology (SMT) stencil printers to clean the underside of solder paste stencils. It effectively removes residual solder paste, red glue, adhesives, flux, and other contaminants that accumulate during the printing process, maintaining stencil aperture cleanliness and ensuring high-quality solder paste transfer onto printed circuit boards (PCBs) .

This cleaning roll is typically made from a blend of about 55% natural long-fiber wood pulp and 45% polyester, processed with advanced water-jet weaving technology. This combination ensures the fabric is strong, highly absorbent, durable, and low-linting, which prevents lint shedding that could block stencil apertures. The material also absorbs liquids quickly—generally in less than half a second—enabling effective wicking of solder paste and cleaning solutions without scratching or damaging sensitive stencil surfaces.
Key Features and Benefits
– Lint-free and low fiber shedding: Minimizes contamination, reducing the risk of aperture blockages and soldering defects.
– High absorbency and rapid liquid wicking: Quickly cleans residual paste and flux, improving stencil cleanliness and printing consistency.
– Soft yet durable: The roll is tough enough to endure rigorous cleaning cycles without tearing but gentle enough to protect precision stencil surfaces.
– Antistatic properties: Helps reduce static electricity buildup, safeguarding sensitive electronic components [^3^].
– Compatible with vacuum and solvent-based cleaning systems: Works well in both dry cycle and wet cleaning processes.
– Packaging: Usually vacuum-sealed or packed in anti-dust bags to keep the rolls clean and fresh, maintaining quality until use .
Dobete’s DEK SMT stencil cleaning roll is a critical consumable that provides lint-free, fast-absorbing, and durable cleaning for stencil undersides in SMT assembly, compatible with various leading printing machines and engineered for optimal cleaning performance in high-speed electronics manufacturing environments.
