BTU International to Highlight New Features of PYRAMAX Solder Reflow Oven at SMTA LA/Orange County Expo & Tech Forum

A new Dual-Lane Dual- Speed solder reflow system, plus HE Flux Management will be highlighted at the show.

NORTH BILLERICA, Mass., Oct. 6, 2011— BTU International, Inc., a leading supplier of advanced thermal processing equipment for the alternative energy and electronics manufacturing markets, will highlight its new dual–lane, dual-speed capabilities of the PYRAMAX™ solder reflow system, as well as next-generation High Efficiency Flux Management, at the upcoming SMTA LA/Orange County Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place November 2, 2011, at the Grand Long Beach Event Center in Long Beach, California.

PYRAMAX reflow ovens set the industry standard for thermal performance, providing electronics manufacturers with the highest throughput to compete successfully in today’s challenging marketplace. At SMTA LA/Orange County, new advances in productivity will be highlighted, allowing customers to maximize their operations.

Dual-lane reflow ovens have been used to increase production in a single reflow oven by allowing two boards to be run at the same time in parallel with identical or nearly identical boards. Now, by using independent lane speeds, it is possible to achieve independent thermal profiles and run boards with significant differences simultaneously. Additionally, the HE Flux Management system further extends the maintenance cycle and is easy to maintain with automated feedback of servicing requirements.

BTU’s exclusive closed-loop convection control provides precise heating and cooling control, constant heat transfer, maximum process control, and low nitrogen consumption, resulting in the lowest cost-of-ownership in the industry. PYRAMAX is the industry’s most versatile performer and its best value.
