Currently in the market for a new Reflow Oven from a UK supplier. Are there any brands/suppliers our there I need to talk to that I may have missed? Low volume High mix very varied work, so looking at compact but super capable machines.

If quality or Reliability is the key.... BTU, Soltec Vitronics..Rehm... If it is the money ...probably not these brands.....:)

I would recommend an ERSA reflow oven from Blundell - With regards which model to choose i've put together an article here - http://www.surfacemountprocess.com/reflow-soldering-process.html

Wellman Rau, What kind of pellets do your reflow ovens burn ? We have been experimenting with a competition hardwood blend. Some believe charcoal produces a better solder joint but we have had excellent results with pellets.

If its low volume maybe vapor phase desktop unit? I heard they work like magic and don't require any profiling. Rehm is supposed to be the best brand especially in europe. Overbuilt and even better than Heller but not too popular in US.

I'd probably go Heller from previous experience, we had 11 at the last place and they were pretty bombproof and the UK support (Steve) is good. Avoid cheaper ovens with small zones and reduced heated lengths as that will restrict what you can do reg

Well, so far Heller certainly scores highly on the balance of price, features & brand reputation (Never heard anyone be mean about them). Be interesting to see what the "cheaper" brands offer, so far they're a bit sleepy.

Digikey. Not all BTUs are rock solid if you are buying used. The old VIP's were a brilliant piece of engineering, but the early Pyramax's not so solid.
