Howdy Bolos, My question to you is why do you feel the need to buy new equipment? We've changed over our processes to lead free and used our existing equipment. Heller 1500 (5 zone convection reflow) Electrovert econopak (wave solder) Honestly we hav

So after listening to many people's options and thoughts, I have decided against novastar. There is a reseller near my office that offers full support, training, and service on used equipment. They also fully refurbish all equipment beforehand. I no

Howdy Bolo, I see. I currently run a 5 zone 1500 Heller, It's a very nice reflow oven and one of my favorites. Hopefully in July we will be getting in our 1700 from Heller. These reflow ovens (used) can be had for a pretty decent price at least in

Hi Scott, My Heller is a bog standard Heller 1500 with an edge guide. There is nothing special about it. I would of course love to have a 7 zone oven, but...I have to use what is here at this time. My only concern with a 5 zone oven is the change i

I don't know much about Hellers other than the 1500 models which don't have blower speed adjustments (except for cooling), but with that much air flow I'd be worried about over working your heater elements. Have you checked in zone setups to see ho
