Self-Cleaning Squeegee system was showcased at the IPC Innovative Product Showcase during Apex.  A panel chose 10 products out of 556 entrants.    
 
Both Pb-free and traditional solder paste printing processes exhibit a high degree of solder paste sticking. This produces undesirable affects, such as paste bleeding defects, premature contamination of the stencil surface and requirement for more cleaning interruption.  Process cycle time is affected negatively as the paste requires time to drop off the squeegee after each print stroke. 
 
The Permalex Paste Manager achieves lower overall sticking compared to normal dual squeegees, and the system reduces the migration of solder paste within the print area. 
 
Reportedly offer improved printing in Pb-free environments.
