The Sawa SC-SA1 recently earned the 2025 Mexico Technology Award in the Cleaning Equipment category for its groundbreaking “no-electricity” design. Engineered for safety, reliability, and sustainability, the SC-SA1 operates entirely on compressed air, eliminating the need for electricity and minimizing fire hazards in sensitive production environments.

Built from durable stainless steel, the system combines one-button operation, a fully enclosed design, and a three-stage filtration system that extends the life of the cleaning agent—reducing both waste and operating costs. Compact, low-maintenance, and highly efficient, the SC-SA1 provides manufacturers with an environmentally friendly cleaning solution that delivers consistent, high-quality results.

Seika Machinery continues to bring innovative, energy-efficient solutions to the electronics manufacturing industry, with the SC-SA1 standing out as a prime example of how smart engineering can drive performance and sustainability.
