Flux fume is not for breathing, that is why every oven must have exhaust system. If you have some problem with health you need doctors help, don't waste time for answer which don't help you.

First, companies should nor be venting solder process fumes into the workplace. Second, you should see medical attention, as Alexy suggested. It doesn't matter what caused you to get sick. Get fixed. Third, if your ex-employer is venting soldering

While I agree that you need to see an MD ASAP, it might help your provider to actually know what you were breathing, and I would worry way less about the materials in the components than I would about the flux from the solder paste. Edited to add, a

Hello, I recently had to leave an SMT job because of the fumes generated from a reflow oven. Smoke poured out of the oven and left a tar-like yellow residue on everything near the input and output side. Its been two weeks since I left that job and I

Juki is selling these ovens in the USA. They might be able to give you a list of customers that you can contact independently. I saw a bigass one at IPC APEX. It seemed well built with good materials.

We have a couple here in the UK, one in the USA and some more in China. Profile repeatability has been excellent, whatever the loading. Reliability good also.

Is it common to check your reflow ovens proper operation with a separate system ? We check our ovens weekly with a DataPaq Surveyor. In 10 or so years of Data collection, I have never witnessed this weekly test prove anything of significance. I mea
