Abstract
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for positioning a pair of opposed brush assemblies in a gap defined by end baffles between process chambers. The brushes have a plurality of offset bristle clusters secured to a header, and the header is preferably angled so that the brushes will have a wiping action as a workpiece such as the printed circuit board passes between the bristles. A pair of brushes are employed with the opposed ends in overlapping relationship providing a wiping-type gate, and which permits the entrained fluid to drip down the bristle hairs and into the chamber from which the workpiece such as a printed circuit board is being removed. Optionally the brush bristles can be angled upwardly to incite a gravity assist for the entrained fluid dripping down toward the header of the brush and into the process tank.
