Press Release: HSTECH Unveils HS-824 Automatic Suction Nozzle Cleaning Machine, Redefining Eco-Friendly & High-Efficiency SMT Maintenance

SHENZHEN, CHINA – August 03, 2026 — HSTECH, a trusted manufacturer of precision SMT peripheral equipment for semiconductor and electronics assembly lines, today officially launched its flagship HS-824 Automatic Suction Nozzle Cleaning Machine globally. Built on patented high-pressure pulse water mist technology, the new equipment addresses long-standing drawbacks of traditional ultrasonic, manual needle cleaning and solvent washing, delivering zero-chemical, damage-free, ultra-efficient nozzle maintenance for miniaturized high-density PCB production.

Industry Pain Points That Drove HS-824 R&D

As SMT manufacturing evolves toward micro-components such as 01005 and 0201 chips, pick-and-place suction nozzles easily accumulate hardened solder paste, flux and micro-residue inside tiny apertures. Clogged nozzles trigger frequent component dropping, misalignment and unexpected production downtime. Conventional cleaning solutions carry critical downsides:

• Ultrasonic cleaning relies on IPA chemical solvents, peeling nozzle black coatings, damaging reflective plates and 2D codes, plus generating harsh workshop fumes;
• Manual needle poking risks cracking ultra-small nozzle suction ports, with unstable cleaning quality and labor-intensive workflows;
• Solvent injection + air blowing fails to clear deep-hole cured flux thoroughly and incurs recurring high chemical material costs.

HSTECH’s engineering team spent over 18 months refining the HS-824 to eliminate all these pain points with a water-only cleaning workflow compliant with global green manufacturing standards.

Patented Pulse Water Mist Cleaning Core Technology

The HS-824 adopts an innovative sonic-speed pulse kinetic energy cleaning system with two core mechanisms:

1. 3–10μm Micro Water Mist Particles: Continuous high-pressure water fragmentation produces ultra-fine mist that penetrates micro nozzle inner channels unreachable by ultrasonic waves, stripping hidden solidified residue completely.
2. 360m/s Sonic Pulse Energy Field: High-speed water mist sprays form a sustained powerful energy field covering the entire nozzle surface, shattering stubborn flux and solder residue without mechanical abrasion.

Only neutral industrial purified soft water (pH value 5–7) is used as the cleaning medium. No toxic chemical solvents are required, protecting delicate nozzle surface layers while supporting carbon-neutral factory certification.

Standout Performance & Operational Cost Advantages

Unmatched Cleaning Efficiency

• Single cycle processes 24 suction nozzles within 3 minutes; maximum throughput reaches 460 nozzles per hour
• 4–5x faster than manual cleaning (90–102 pcs/hour) and nearly double the output of ultrasonic cleaners (160–205 pcs/hour)
• Fully automated wash and air-dry integrated workflow eliminates extra manual wiping and blow-drying steps

Ultra-Low Running Expense

• Water consumption: 1 liter of purified water supports 2–3 hours of continuous operation
• Compressed air consumption: Below 280NL/Min
• Rated power: Only 200W, input voltage compatible with global 220V~240V power grids
• Zero recurring IPA/chemical detergent costs, cutting monthly consumable expenditure significantly

Premium Global Brand Component Configuration for Long Service Life

To guarantee stable 24/7 mass production operation, HSTECH equips the HS-824 with world-class industrial parts:

• Control system: Taiwan Weinview bilingual touchscreen + Mitsubishi PLC (Chinese/English switchable for overseas factories)
• Pneumatic regulation: Japan SMC pressure gauges and regulating valves with ergonomic layout
• Rotating structural hardware: Japan TAKIGEN standard parts to retain stable torque long-term
• Operation buttons: Siemens switches with 300,000+ mechanical operation lifespan
• All water-contact components: 304 stainless steel to avoid rust and secondary contamination
• Motion guide track: Germany Igus oil-free bearing, zero routine lubrication maintenance

Additional user-friendly designs include multi-layer purified water filtration, centralized gas exhaust, low-noise operation and transparent observation windows for real-time cleaning monitoring. Customizable nozzle trays are available to fit suction nozzles from Yamaha, JUKI, Samsung Hanwha, Panasonic, FUJI and all mainstream mounter brands.

Optional Inspection Microscope for Closed-Loop Nozzle Quality Control

HSTECH offers an optional dedicated nozzle inspection microscope to form an all-in-one “clean + inspect” workflow. The device delivers combined optical & physical zoom up to 320x, paired with adjustable backlight to clearly observe internal nozzle blockage after washing. Custom mechanical positioning fixtures cut repetitive manual alignment, accelerating post-cleaning quality verification and enabling full nozzle maintenance traceability.

Executive Quote

“Miniaturization and environmental compliance are two irreversible trends for global electronics manufacturing,” said [CEO Name], Chief Executive Officer of HSTECH. “Traditional chemical cleaning solutions can no longer meet factories’ dual demands of stable yield and green production. Our HS-824 water pulse cleaning machine completely removes solvent usage risks while drastically boosting nozzle maintenance efficiency. Field tests with our Southeast Asian and European SMT customers show a 70% reduction in nozzle maintenance labor hours and fewer scrapped precision nozzles. This launch reinforces our commitment to delivering sustainable, cost-saving automation equipment for the electronics supply chain.”

Comparative Data Proves Superior Cleaning Performance

Independent on-site testing with SMT production staff benchmarks HS-824 against three mainstream cleaning modes across critical metrics:
