All solder pastes will adhere to the squeegees and with lead-free solder paste, the problem is more severe.

This new electronically actuated version of Transition's Paste Manager achieves a 90 percent cleaning action in 3.9 seconds for a 14 inch long squeegee. The company also indicates that solder paste will remain viable for longer duty cycles and with a wider range of viscosities than would be possible with normal squeegees. Therefore, this new product improves the overall capability of SMT printers. This system is in stock and available for a wide variety of SMT printing platforms.
