Abstract

An example method to clean a continuous substrate involves applying a high pressure, low flow spray of a first cleaning fluid at the continuous substrate from one or more nozzles to remove particulate matter from the continuous substrate; transporting the continuous substrate from a first volume having the high pressure, low volume spray, to a second volume having an agitation bath; vacuuming moisture from the continuous substrate during transporting of the continuous substrate from the first volume to the second volume; directing energy at the continuous substrate in the agitation bath using at least one of a megasonic transducer or an ultrasonic transducer; and drying the continuous substrate.
