Cleaning

The latest G&B solutions demonstrate significant environmental testing improvements and better yield during AOI.

G&B recently invested in the SENSOTRONIC AVD 500SA Co-Solvent cleaning plant which enables cleaning of no clean fluxes, the benefits of which are improved results in environmental testing and a better yield during AOI stages. These deliver our customers a faster and more competitive assembly service.

Other benefits of the Sensotronic are its environmental features which maximise cleaning performance whilst minimising solvent escape, so you can rest assured that your products are being manufactured by a company managing and continually improving its environmental programs.
