Operating costs of the system are dramatically lower than traditional condensation type
designs. There are no heat exchangers to maintain or clean reducing labor costs and eliminating
replacement parts and consumable filters. Fully automatic operation minimizes operator
intervention and eliminates the potential for errors. A comprehensive user interface via BTU’s
WINCON™ control software provides appropriate system feedback and recipe management of
the Aqua Scrub system functions.
FLUX MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY
BTU’s Aqua Scrub flux management technology sets the new benchmark in solder paste flux
remediation. The patent pending technology utilizes atmosphere scrubbing action via an aqueous-
based rinse solution The system continuously extracts flux-laden oven atmosphere from the oven
process chamber which is then passed through the Aqua Scrub system removing flux and returning
clean atmosphere back to the oven chamber.
The aqueous-based scrubbing solution utilizes commonly available detergents for the rinse agent
concentrate making it environmentally friendly. The system can be easily retrofit on to existing
ovens in the field due to its stand-alone design and small footprint. The system is compatible with
all common solder pastes such as no clean, water soluble and RMA flux chemistries.
