INTEGRATED exhaust STACK FILTER
The Integrated Exhaust Stack Filter is
:
Standard, (installed on all ovens)
An option, (NOT installed on all ovens)
PURPOSE:
To capture and dispose of the byproducts of SMT reflow by condensing and filtering the oven exhaust.
APPLICATION
The Integrated Exhaust Stack Filter option is a simple filtering method for capturing and disposing of many of the
by-products of the Surface Mount Reflow Process. The Integrated Exhaust Stack filter consists of two filters in
metal enclosure. The enclosure has an inlet and a connection point for a factory exhaust duct. There is an access
door for changing the disposable filters.
The introduction ambient room air powered by the facility exhaust accomplishes condensation. The hot gas exhaust
stream from the FFC system is routed to the intake tube of the filter enclosure where it is mixed with several
streams of ambient air. The cooling effect of the room air streams causes flux and other outgassed contaminants
to condense in the exhaust stream as it enters the box, but prior to passing through the filter. Contaminants are
trapped in the filter, and the cleaned gas continues out the exhaust duct.
BENEFITS
Flux and other out-gassed contaminants are captured in an easily changed, disposable filter.
Provides increased protection of the facility exhaust system from contaminants.
Totally within the overall footprint of the Reflow Oven.
Inexpensive locally available filter
MAINTENANCE:
Filter change interval is approximately every 2 weeks, but is throughput and paste dependent.
Filter change requires 1 minute or less
Filter Enclosure cleaning interval is approximately every two months, but is throughput and paste dependent.
Note: The contaminants caught by the filters are hazardous waste. Proper disposal techniques should be
followed. The filter contaminants are paste and product dependent. Refer to the paste specification for
more information.
Wear latex gloves, eye protection and breathing protection when changing filter.
