My first thought is that your roof exhaust blower is dead and that these boards are the only no-clean boards you build but that's probably not the case. To start from the beginning, though, are all of your blowers operating normally (in the oven an

I only inhale flux with a high IPA content.(joke for those who don't know me) I have seen the inside of duct work for our wave soldering machine............NASTY! DAVE F. is right! Flux contains a lot of bad stuff- Chlorides, Bromides, Fluorides,

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.

We use "Uline N95 Deluxe Industrial Respirator" face masks. We are looking for something better. Our conformal coating machine has an active exhaust pulling fumes out and the door is closed when the machine is running. We have a fume hood with an act

Hi, 1. do not use flux-cored wire- the smell is bad and flux will evaporate anyway at the time of solder wire melting. 2. as suggested use solder bars, something like this: https://smtnet.com/company/index.cfm?fuseaction=view_company&company_id=39635

Simple answer is no you cannot do it and why would you?.. is it a cost saving thing? As Dave F correctly points out you have a fair amount of noxious fumes to handle that aren't getting exhausted if you switch of the extraction so they will go to you

"mostly an irritant" can be serious for some people. You can get other toxins from PCBs if you char them but you would have mentioned if they came out burnt. Was there any exhaust on the oven at all? I have seen it where we used a particularly stink

Find out if you can separate the dehumidifier controls from the heating/cooling controls, without adding an air handler. Otherwise I think you'd need to add a dehumidifier that runs independantly. Don't forget that system capacity has to be rated fo

i dont think it causes and soldering effects but i do believe that the fumes will escape out into your factory.

I believe you'll need to have fume extractors for wave and oven to clean the exhaust: http://www.solderfume.co.uk/index.html http://www.allerair.com/air-purifiers/candi.html http://www.impell.com/main/index.cfm I believe its state regulated as fa
