Seika Machinery Inc.’s SPR Selected for IPC APEX EXPO Innovative Technology Center

Seika Machinery, Inc., a leading provider of advanced machinery, materials and engineering services, announces that its Solder Paste Recycling Unit has been selected for inclusion in The Innovative Technology Center (ITC) at the upcoming IPC APEX EXPO, scheduled to take place April 12-14, 2011 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Convention Center in Las Vegas.

Seika’s new Solder Paste Recycling Unit enables approximately 90 percent of waste solder paste to be recovered as solder bar. The system provides a major decrease in disposal costs for factory waste, a reduction in CO2 emissions, and reduced costs for solder bar as a result of recycling waste. As an additional benefit, the recycling unit enables selection of manual mode and automatic mode using a touch screen panel.

The Innovative Technology Center will feature products and services at the show that represent new or emerging technology with real, relevant value to the electronics manufacturing supply chain for printed circuit board design, fabrication, assembly or test.

The display will be located in the Bayside Foyer outside of the exhibit hall.
