Fortex PA104 Heated Bubble Etch Single Tank Unit Max Panel Size 235mm x 170mm

The Fortex PA104 Heated Bubble Etch Single Tank unit is designed to be used in laboratory and small batch production for producing printed circuit boards, as well as for etching metal foils used in model making.

The Tank of the device is manufactured from acrylic glass, so that the etching process can be easily observed.

During the etching process, tiny air bubbles will be fed into the etching fluid. This is achieved by a diaphragm pump and aeration frame with air curtain tube in the bottom of the device. The etching tanks include an adjustable glass heater for heating the etching solution up to 45°C and a thermometer to monitor the temperature. The unit includes an adjustable PCB-holder for supporting the printed circuit boards during etching.
