Alteco – Vertical drying system

Maximum performance in minimum space with equipment from Rehm

Hardening of coated printed circuit boards

vertically with minimal space required

Air bags in cars can save lives, headlights ensure a safe trip day and night, the on-board

computer and the sensor system in a plane determine reliable measurement gures for

ight guidance even at an altitude of 10,000 metres and a simple trac light switching

system regulates trac in all weathers. Behind each of these functions lie highly complex

electronic sub-assemblies and connections.

In order to ensure the reliability of these sensitive electronic sub-assemblies even in difcult

environmental conditions, a coat of paint is applied to the printed circuit board and then dried

in a special drying system. The coating protects the electronics from damage due to corro-

sion or other environmental influences such as moisture, chemicals and dust. It increases

the lifetime and quality of the product many times over. Alternatively, complete sub-assem-

blies are cast and encapsulated.

For this area of application, Rehm Thermal Systems provides innovative drying and harden-

ing procedures that meet every requirement. The latest development is a vertical drying sys-

tem which offers maximum performance with minimal space required. All industries which

implement painting processes and process sensitive sub-assemblies with a protective paint

coating can benet from this system.

Uncompromising modern process

with the new Alteco from Rehm

The Rehm Vertical Drying System Alteco not only offers ideal drying and hardening processes, it is also extremely compact

and space-saving thanks to its design. As a result of the vertical transport, the Alteco replaces, with a system length of only

around 4 m, a comparable 40 m long horizontal furnace. With the innovative system design, you can save valuable space in

your production hall.

Two transport variants are available for the vertical dryer:

1. xed transport width, where the circulating goods carriers

are set to a xed measurement

2. flexible transport width, where the transport by means of

circulating goods carriers is automatically set to the

respective circuit board size

Several painting lines can thus feed different products with

different circuit board transport widths in the mix to the Alte-

co. With the Alteco, printed circuit boards with a maximum

height of 50 mm can be dried.
