Aqueous Technologies’ Trident QUAD Honored with Its Fourth Award in 2010

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA - Aqueous Technologies Corp., North America’s largest provider of batch defluxing systems, announces that it has been awarded a Global Technology Award in the category of Cleaning Equipment for its Trident QUAD. The award was presented to Aqueous Technologies’ President, Mike Konrad, during a Tuesday, October 26, 2010 ceremony that took place during SMTA International at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando, FL. The Global Technology Award marks the Trident QUAD’s fourth award this year.

The Trident QUAD High-Yield Automatic Defluxing and Cleanliness Testing System provides a cost-effective alternative to inline defluxing systems. Trident QUAD provides throughput rates equal to or exceeding most inline cleaning systems yet operates on a fraction of the chemical, water, and energy.

The Trident Quad is equipped with four autonomous defluxing chambers. Each chamber is controlled by a dedicated computer controller and may be operated with different defluxing chemistries for maximum flexibility. Additionally, each defluxing chamber is equipped with independent cleanliness testing capabilities and recallable SPC data records. Unlike any inline defluxing system, the Trident QUAD is capable of high throughput levels and built-in cleanliness testing.

Premiering in 2005, the Global Technology Awards program is an annual celebration of product excellence in electronics surface mount assembly. Premier products based on the finest examples of creative advancement in technology are chosen by a distinguished panel of industry experts.
