Trident is a multi-award winning fully automatic defluxing and cleanliness testing system designed specifically for the electronic assembly industry. Unlike most other batch-format cleaning systems which relabeled glassware washers, Trident was designed from the ground up to remove flux and other process contamination from post-reflowed circuit assemblies.
Trident achieves cleanliness results exceeding all military, IPC, medical, and all other high reliability cleanliness standards.
Capabilities
Trident is capable of removing all flux types including Rosin, Water Soluble, and all No-Cleans from eutectic and lead-free assemblies.
Trident is equipped with the multiple award winning Focus-Wash cleaning technology. Focus-Wash directs more fluid flow to a concentrated area, with a higher velocity, resulting in greater impact pressure, providing superior impingement, even on densely populated, low standoff SMT assemblies. Trident’s exclusive oscillating board rack and counter-rotating asymmetrical spray arms virtually eliminate the shadowing concerns common with all other brands.
Built-In Cleanliness Tester
Trident is equipped with real-time predictive cleanliness capabilities. The on-board cleanliness tester automatically controls the cleaning process, ensuring a cleanliness level that equals or exceeds your programmed setting. In many cases, Trident’s predictive cleanliness capability eliminates the need for off-line post defluxing cleanliness testing.
Control
Systems
Trident is controlled by a powerful industrial computer running the exceptionally stable Windows CE platform. A large graphic touch-screen provides an intuitive operator interface. Operators may select from more than 1000 user-defined program recipes. Authorized supervisors and administrators with password privileges have additional access to the recipe editor and administrative functions. An on-board statistical process control (SPC) data logger automatically records vital process information such as cleanliness levels, cycle times, operating temperatures, etc. SPC data may be viewed locally on the display screen, exported onto a USB device, or viewed remotely on any network-connected PC.
Trident's wireless remote viewing option allows users to view Trident's control screen remotely, from any network-connected PC.
Rugged
Construction
Trident features a tough welded steel frame with a durable powder-coat finish. Trident features a powerful multi-stage stainless steel spray pump designed exclusively for Aqueous Technologies by ITT-Goulds, North America's leading high performance pump manufacturer.
Configurations
All Trident Series automatic defluxing and cleanliness testing systems are equipped with identical power and performance ratings. There are a number of discharge and throughput configurations available to meet virtually all requirements.
Trident is available in three discharge configurations:

Trident is equipped with a host of standard features such as stainless steel plumbing, pre-drain filtration system, stainless steel adjustable board rack, and much more. Explanation of cycles (per model):
Trident I: Trident I is capable of removing all flux residues including Rosin, No-Clean, and Water Soluble. Both lead and lead-free flux residues may be removed using Trident I. Trident I is equipped with an automatic chemical injection system that automatically adds a programmable volume of defluxing chemical to the wash water. Wash solution is heated automatically and sprayed onto the assemblies. At the end of the wash cycle, the wash solution is directed through a stainless steel filter housing and drained from the machine. Rinse water is then sprayed onto the assemblies until the desired cleanliness level is achieved. All rinse water is directed through the pre-drain filtration system then sent to drain. Assemblies are dried via the on-board convection and radiant forced air drying system. An optional Zero-Discharge evaporation system eliminates connection to a drain line.
