Need a major capacity expansion?

That's what one North American IDM set out to do when it asked Rhetech to supply a fully remanufactured Magnum™ series spray solvent processor. Why the Magnum? This customer already had several Magnums in production, and wanted to minimize issues related to start-up, production qualification, operator training, and ongoing preventive maintenance.

Rhetech stepped up and provided a two module Magnum specially configured to the customer's requirements. It included: new SMIF load/unload ports using Asyst handlers; a complete remanufacturing plan that incorporated Semitool's latest Technical Service Bulletin upgrades; a list of customer-specific modifications; and an accelerated installation plan that put a team of Rhetech and Semitool service technicians on the customer site for twenty hours a day during setup.





The outcome
: From date of delivery to the customer's dock, it took less than twenty calendar days to move-in, facilitate, install, and production qualify this complex, fully automatic production tool. Covered by both a full parts and labor warranty and an uptime guarantee, this Magnum is helping this customer meet market demands for more of its industry-leading products.




New Products

Looking to make your Spin Rinser Dryers even more reliable?



Rhetech's new GPS Bowl Seal upgrade kit replaces the ferrofuidic seal used on "S" series SRDs with a new, high performance assembly. The new seal uses an N2 purge to create a seal between the SRD bowl and the rest of the unit. Particle tests show equal or better results compared to the standard seal, and in normal operation there are no points of contact to wear or ferrofluid to dry out.


The GPS Bowl Seal is standard on all new Semitool SRDs, and the kit includes the parts (shown on right) and the step-by-step instructions needed to make the upgrade. This may be the last bowl seal you'll ever have to buy.
