Mark, We used a large stainless steel basket from EMC. (20" x 20" x 2") There are several others available. As the mesh was large (about .5" x .5") we lined it with stainless screen. The lining was not stretched tight, to provide some protection for the small assemblies. We were using a Hollis Hurricane aqueous cleaner with 10 hp wash/rinse pumps. Even with the small mesh screen we were able to adequately clean the boards. Hope that helps.

The boards are originally processed in a panel but some require rework or additional processing once they have been depanelized. Can anyone suggest a method to secure these small boards inside the wash racks as to prevent this damage?
