BTU to Showcase Its Solder Reflow Flux Management System at SMTconnect
April 22, 2022 | BTU International, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
BTU International, Inc., a leading supplier of advanced thermal processing equipment for the electronics manufacturing market, announced plans to exhibit at SMTconnect, scheduled to take place May 10-12, 2022 in Nuremberg. The company will highlight its Aqua Scrub Flux Management Technology and PYRAMAX reflow oven in exhibit with BTU’s distributor, Stratus Vision, Hall 4A, Stand 411.
BTU has recently expanded the distribution territory of Stratus Vision to include Germany, Austria and Switzerland for Pyramax reflow ovens. Stratus Vision has been a long-time partner and distributor of BTU high temperature belt furnaces.
Aqua Scrub Technology is BTU’s next-generation solder reflow flux management system. The patent-pending design uses an aqueous-based scrubber technology compatible with most known paste and flux types. The flux and solution are automatically contained and packaged for disposal.
The Aqua Scrub is purpose-built as a stand-alone system that can be easily retrofitted on PYRAMAX reflow ovens already in the field as well as being configured on new PYRAMAX ovens. This self-contained unit mounts on the back side of the oven to minimize the impact on oven operation and factory floor space.
In addition to a very attractive cost of ownership, Aqua Scrub is designed to decrease operational cost by 4X compared to traditional condensation systems. The reduction in cost can be attributed to reduced downtime, labor and disposal costs.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—The Pre-Manufacturing Process
05/08/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI have been working with Nolan Johnson on a podcast series about designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. By sharing lessons learned over a long career in the PCB industry, we hope to shorten learning curves and help designers produce better boards with less hassle and rework. Episode 2 deals with the electronic pre-manufacturing process. Moving from CAD (computer-aided design) to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) is a key step in PCB manufacturing. CAM turns digital designs into instructions that machines can use to actually build the PCB.
