Rehm Pyrolysis is a low-maintenance residue management system deployed within the heating zones of VXP convection reflow ovens. Thermally induces decomposition of organic compounds. Complex molecules are broken down into simpler substances with the use of high temperatures (500°C-900°C) taking place in a largely oxygen free (anaerobic) environment to avoid burning. Remaining residues are then captured within a special granulate. Granulate exchange required at 12-month intervals.

Easy Oven Setup software for reflow ovens automatically calculates the best reflow oven settings based on product and process limits. Uses new search engine to process thousands of oven settings before recommending options. Can run the product through the oven to create a profile, enter the process limits, and EOS calculates the optimal recipe.

ESD drawer storage cabinets are certified to meet specific electrical property requirements, reportedly assuring static dissipation at a safe rate. Can be protected by static dissipative powder coat finishes in three standard colors. Drawer interiors can contain conductive plastic boxes and slotted grooved trays. Feature either a 440 lb. or 165 lb. load capacity each, and are available in six full sidewall heights. Drawer handles are positioned at the top of each drawer and are flush with the face of the housing. The one-drawer-at-a-time PrevenTip safety system prevents accidental cabinet tipping.
