BTU International to Highlight Vacuum Reflow at SMTAI
August 20, 2019 | BTU International, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
BTU International, Inc. will exhibit at SMTA International, scheduled to take place September 24-25, 2019 at the Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. The company will highlight its PYRAMAX Vacuum reflow oven in booth #816.
BTU has made the PYRAMAX Vacuum available for demonstration and product development by stationing a unit at ACI Technologies in Philadelphia, PA. At ACI customers can not only operate the vacuum reflow oven, but have access to the required process equipment and metrology as well.
The PYRAMAX Vacuum reflow oven has been designed around the requirements of large EMS/high-volume automotive customers. The unit is configured with 10 zones of closed-loop convection heating and a maximum production width of 18". Nitrogen atmosphere capable, the PYRAMAX Vacuum reflow oven offers a maximum process temperature of 350°C.
The unit features integrated controls with BTU’s proprietary Wincon Windows-based control system and full integration with factory MES/Industry 4.0 including the vacuum parameters. Additional features include:
- Automatic sequencing
- Programmable control of vacuum level and hold time
- Pass-through mode for non-vacuum operation
Existing PYRAMAX customers can easily transfer their process to the new PYRAMAX Vacuum reflow oven.

The Chemical Connection: Surface Finishes for PCBs
03/31/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionWriting about surface finishes brings a feeling of nostalgia. You see, one of my first jobs in the industry was providing technical support for surface cleaning processes and finishes to enhance dry film adhesion to copper surfaces. I’d like to take this opportunity to revisit the basics, indulge in my nostalgia, and perhaps provide some insight into why we do things the way we do them in the here and now.
