Fume Extraction For The Electronics Industry
Purex machines offer safe removal of hazards across various process's within Electronics sector. The machine’s focus in optimizing various processes for maximum efficiency while minimizing running costs. However, exposure to these fumes can have severe consequences for operators, leading to multiple irreversible lung diseases.
Heat and pressure produce metal vapours that release harmful fumes which can be detrimental to the health of your employees. At Purex, our wide range of fume extractors for the electronics industry are designed to combat toxic metals to improve air quality and provide a safer, more efficient working environment. Our fume extractors provide solutions across various electronic applications.
Typical applications
Wave Soldering
Wave soldering is a key process in electronics manufacturing, utilising reflow ovens allows for soldering on mass. Its portability allows for flexible production layouts and it’s designed for energy efficiency, reducing costs and environmental impact.
The process contributes to industry sustainability efforts by minimizing energy use. Overall, wave soldering combines efficiency, adaptability, and eco-friendliness, making it a significant advancement in soldering technology.
It’s an effective solution for both small startups and large manufacturers aiming to improve their production process and lessen their environmental footprint.
Conformal Coating
Conformal coating in electronics manufacturing involves a application of various products to electronic boards. These coatings can provide a variety of benefits such as protecting the parts from moisture or liquids in the environment.
These coatings can produce fumes which can be harmful and emit an unpleasant odour, necessitating effective extraction and ventilation systems.
Proper fume management not only ensures a safe and comfortable working environment but also enhances the quality of the conformal coating process.
Laser Depaneling
Laser depaneling is a highly effective method for handling FR4 material, using a laser prepares the circuit board for other components to be fitted.
This technique stands out for its cleanliness and safety, ensuring a hazard-free environment during the manufacturing process. What sets laser depaneling apart is its flexibility, which lends itself to portability. This means it can be easily integrated into various production setups, making it a versatile solution for electronics manufacturing.
Hand Soldering
The process of hand soldering necessitates direct exposure to fumes, which unfortunately can result in potential lung and skin complications.
To alleviate these risks, it’s advisable to utilize equipment that is specifically designed with safety features. This includes machinery outfitted with stainless steel arms, transparent hoods, cowls, and cabinets. These features not only enhance the safety of the process but also contribute to a healthier working environment.
By adopting such measures, one can ensure a safer and more efficient soldering process.
Selective/Robotic Soldering
Selective and robotic soldering techniques offer a high degree of portability and flexibility, making them a preferred choice in various manufacturing scenarios.
These methods are versatile enough to accommodate enclosed selective solder machines as well as open-air soldering robots. This adaptability allows for a wide range of applications, catering to different soldering needs while maintaining efficiency and precision. Their portability further enhances their appeal, providing a solution that can be easily integrated into diverse production environments.
In essence, selective and robotic soldering methods represent a significant stride in soldering technology, combining flexibility, portability, and efficiency.
