How SITEK Rebuilds Spin Rinse Dryers to OEM Standards (and Beyond)

SITEK offers industry-leading refurbishment services for Semitool, Rhetech, SITEK, and Verteq Spin Rinse Dryers. Each system is rebuilt from the ground up—fully electropolished, reassembled, and tested—with precision and attention to detail. Whether you're upgrading with a SlickDevice™ controller or restoring a legacy system, SITEK delivers end-to-end SRD solutions backed by decades of expertise.

SITEK Refurbishment Process

This video details the complete refurbishment capabilities of SITEK Process Solutions. With over 25 years of experience supporting the semiconductor industry, SITEK is proud to be your end-to-end solution for Spin Rinse Dryer (SRD) and front-end wafer processing equipment.

SITEK is the primary provider of SRD repairs, spare parts, and rebuilds, supporting all models from Semitool, Rhetech, and SITEK. We are also the official owner and manufacturer of the Verteq / Marteq product line, offering full parts and service support for those systems as well.

Refurbishment Overview

Each SRD refurbishment begins with a complete teardown. All components are disassembled, inspected, and reconditioned:

  • Metal parts are electropolished to restore clean, corrosion-resistant surfaces.
  • All consumables are replaced, including tubing, o-rings, and seals.
  • Critical components—valves, motors, heaters, sensors—are cleaned, tested, and either rebuilt or replaced.

Every unit is rebuilt according to SITEK’s strict internal manufacturing protocols. Our technicians carefully restore each SRD to meet or exceed OEM standards, with attention to proper spacing, cable routing, and assembly.

Poly & Controller Assembly

After the internal chassis is rebuilt, a new poly outer skin is custom-cut and mounted. Controllers are either repaired, replaced, or upgraded:

  • SITEK’s SlickDevice™ Controller can be installed to replace the legacy PSC 101.
  • All controllers are bench-tested for spin control, resistivity, and purge logic.
  • Electrical compatibility for 110–120V or 220–230V systems is verified prior to final test.

Final Testing & Quality Assurance

Every system undergoes final assembly and thorough testing:

  • Calibrated for spin speed, resistivity, N2 purge, and safety interlocks.
  • Tested using your cassette and substrate type when possible.
  • Inspected in our clean test area with a video source inspection provided for customer approval.

Delivery & Support

Once approved, each SRD is professionally packaged and shipped. SITEK offers continued support after delivery, including:

  • Access to hundreds of SRD spare parts
  • Ongoing repairs and troubleshooting
  • Full support for Verteq / Marteq SRDs and accessories

Whether you’re upgrading a single SRD or standardizing across your fab, the SlickDevice™ Intelligent Controller is your next step toward smarter, more efficient wafer processing.
