100 CFM at each exhaust if you're using room air, 25 CFM/ea if you're using nitrogen (according to my manual...never used nitrogen myself) per their specified delivery rates.

I did work with most of these brands have some personal preferences like anyone here.I will just say that ovens I worked with, make it for 5-10 years with not a single fan failure, so stay away from the models that give this kind of trouble. If we ar

A few random thoughts: Nitrogen in reflow is mostly cosmetic, to get shiny joints on lead free. If you are getting good results without nitrogen now, there's no need to add it on your new line. Since power consumption is important, I would get spec

We run BTU, Vitronics and Electrovert. All of those are rock solid machines AS LONG AS YOU KEEP THEM PM'ed. For some reason companies seem to neglect their oven PM's. Make sure you are buying an air only oven if you aren’t running nitrogen. The flux

As soon as the oven temp falls below 40 C and the RH rises above 5% then you need to consider that the floor clock will start. Long term storage of devices in an oven is not good for them as it reduced their solderability and can affect their perform

I agree with the comments below. I see no difference with lead free. Across five reflow ovens our external nitrogen tank was about 14' tall and 7' round. I am with a different company now due to the great ole american "lets send product out of the co
