Recipe Pro

RecipePro is the industry’s first reflow oven recipe generator to include convection rate as part of the generator algorithm. Competitive solutions ignore convection rate, a key heat transfer component used to generate starting recipes in their offerings. BTU and Electronics Control Design (ECD) have solved this problem by introducing RecipePro.

Creating a starting reflow oven recipe for a PCB can be a time-consuming task. Typically, users create a best guess recipe, utilizing a trial and error approach using available information and/or experience. This process can result in excessive reflow oven downtime associated with optimizing the thermal profile, recipe transfer errors, and potential yield loss.

RecipePro incorporates a simple user interface and workflow. The user selects or enters information about the convection rate, throughput, PCB, and solder paste. Equipped with these inputs, RecipePro generates a starting reflow oven recipe (including convection rate) which is then automatically transferred to the WinCon reflow oven control system.
