Residue Management System

Rehm Thermal Systems recently announced the launch of an advanced new flux residue management system deployed within the heating zones of their VXP convection reflow ovens. Rehm Pyrolysis is the thermally induced decomposition of organic compounds. Complex molecules are broken down into simpler substances with the use of high temperatures (500-900°C) taking place in a largely oxygen free (anaerobic) environment to avoid burning. According to Rehm Chief Commercial Officer Marc Dalderup, “Pyrolysis is the thermal splitting of long molecular chains into shorter ones, which significantly reduces the amount of condensable waste and unwanted dripping within the process chamber. The remaining residues are then captured within a special granulate. Perhaps best of all, Rehm Pyrolysis is nearly maintenance free, requiring only an exchange of the granulate at 12 month intervals.” The VisionXP‘s complete residue management system combines pyrolysis action mechanisms in the preheating and peak zones with cold condensation
