SCHMID Group Unveils Revolutionary Hyper Loop System (HLS) for Precision Etching with Sustainable Technology

Freudenstadt, November 7, 2024 – The SCHMID Group is excited to introduce the Hyper Loop System (HLS), an innovative solution setting new standards in etching technology by combining high efficiency with sustainable benefits. Through the integration of a unique hybrid nozzle system and the elimination of the need for external compressed air, the HLS offers an innovative solution for precise and eco-friendly etching of fine structures.

Efficiency through Hybrid Nozzle Technology: The HLS system features hybrid nozzles, which deliver a thin, even spray pattern to achieve pinpoint etching results. This cutting-edge design not only ensures high precision but also significantly reduces maintenance time due to quick nozzle replacement capabilities.

Sustainable Reduction of Chemicals and Energy Consumption: One of the key advantages of the HLS is its elimination of the need for an external compressed air supply, enhancing sustainability and lowering operational costs. By operating without exhaust air treatment requirements, the HLS reduces chemical consumption, especially when used with hydrochloric acid, as it eliminates the need for alkali neutralization and waste of copper-containing liquids is reduced to a minimum.

System Highlights:

• No Exhaust Air Treatment Needed: No more copper-containing rinsing water
• Reduced Chemical Consumption: Lower exhaust air reduces chemical consumption
• No Heat Loss: Maintains temperature stability with lower exhaust
• Quick Return on Investment: The system’s design ensures rapid cost recovery within a short operational period under continuous use

With the Hyper Loop System, SCHMID Group reaffirms its commitment to sustainable innovation, providing advanced etching solutions that not only improve productivity but also significantly reduce the environmental footprint for industrial processes.
