In 1995 we bought 4 Vitronics U520 reflow ovens with top heat only. We ran these ovens until 2003 for both curing and lead reflow with no problems. In 1998 we bought 1 U520 top and bottom heat and one U820 top and bottom heat and once again we had

Yes, it's fine - as Pete says you have to replace certain parts & either get the pot recoated or a new one. We ran a "Lead free" 6622C from Vitronics Soltec on Tin Lead, then it was cleaned up, recoated and loaded with a no-lead alloy with no proble

Hi Danny, Are you doing lead free? If yes, I would consider the AE-R330A or SMT-2010 lead free reflow oven. Our reflow oven is affordable and brand new. Just want to make sure what size is your board. Also, all of our equipment comes with one year s
