In electronic board production, a nitrogen atmosphere in reflow and wave soldering ovens prevents oxidation, improves solder quality and lowers defect rates. With on-site nitrogen generators you can set purity as needed, and use clean pumps and diaphragm valves on chemical and ultra-pure water lines.

Fine-pitch components and lead-free alloys leave little margin in soldering: oxidation of pads and solder causes poor wetting, voids and bridging. Feeding reflow and wave soldering ovens with nitrogen from an on-site generator, with residual oxygen set to the process, improves joint quality, and the same gas can supply dry storage cabinets for moisture-sensitive parts. On wet process lines, thermoplastic acid pumps and high-purity valves handle etching and plating chemicals and ultra-pure water without contaminating them. For a proposal, send oven type and number, required residual oxygen, chemicals with concentrations and temperatures, and flows.
