Used Wet Etching in Meath, Ireland

Overview

Wet etching systems use liquid chemical baths to remove material from substrates, commonly used in semiconductor, PCB, MEMS and metal finishing work. Systems include tanks, pumps, filtration, heated baths, temperature controllers and ventilation to control etchant chemistry and profile. Buyers look for automation level, chemical compatibility, tank condition, safety features and waste handling when selecting new or used units.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used wet etching system?

Inspect tank condition for pitting or contamination, verify pumps, heaters, controllers and sensors work, review maintenance and waste-handling records, and confirm material/chemical compatibility. Ask for a test run, recent consumable replacements, and availability of spare parts and service manuals.

How should a wet etching system be prepared and shipped?

Completely drain and neutralize etchants, clean tanks per regulations, label any residual hazards, secure removable parts, and use a carrier experienced with lab and hazardous-equipment moves. Arrange proper permits, cradle the tanks to prevent stress, and insure against chemical or transit damage.

What routine maintenance keeps a wet etcher reliable?

Daily checks for leaks, filtration status and correct temperatures; routinely replace filters, seals and hoses; service pumps and exhaust fans; monitor etchant concentration and waste tanks; and schedule annual calibration and safety-system checks following the manufacturer’s procedures.
