DEK stencil wipes are lint-free wiper rolls made for the under-stencil cleaning system on DEK printers. Each roll removes solder paste and adhesive residue from the stencil quickly. As a result, your prints stay sharp and accurate from board to board.
Why choose DEK stencil wipes?
A dirty stencil causes smudged prints, bridging and costly rework. For this reason, regular under-stencil cleaning is vital on any SMT line. These rolls use a strong 55 g/m² non-woven fabric that soaks up paste and solvent with ease.
The fabric is lint-free, so it does not leave fibres in the apertures. This gives you a clean stencil after every wipe cycle. In addition, the rolls are sized at 480 mm wide to suit DEK machines, so they feed smoothly and help cut downtime.
Key features
- Made to fit DEK stencil printers
- 480 mm roll width
- Lint-free 55 g/m² non-woven fabric
- High absorbency for paste and solvent
- Strong fabric that resists tearing
- Supplied in bulk boxes of 50 rolls
Where to use DEK stencil wipes
These rolls suit most high-volume electronics lines. For example, they work well for:
- Automatic under-stencil cleaning on DEK printers
- Removing solder paste between print runs
- Cleaning off SMT adhesive residue
- Fine pitch and high-density board printing
Because each wipe leaves the stencil clean, you get fewer print defects. This means less rework and less downtime. It also helps you keep your first pass yield high.
Tips for best results
First, check that your printer takes a 480 mm roll. Next, load the roll so the fabric feeds evenly across the stencil. Then set a wipe frequency that suits your paste and aperture size. Finally, pair the rolls with a suitable cleaning solvent for the best finish.
