Drying System – Drying of Solder Masks & Printing Pastes
Thermal Drying
ahk develops, manufactures, and distributes thermal drying systems (e.g., from Beltron) that stand out for their high precision and efficiency. Our solutions are optimally tailored to the requirements for drying silver conductive pastes and thick-film pastes – particularly a key factor in the electronics and PCB industries. Every detail matters, as only uniform and gentle drying ensures the functionality and quality of your products.
By using ceramic heating plates in combination with targeted airflow systems (convection), our systems guarantee even heat distribution and gentle drying – even for sensitive materials. Our technology allows for reliable and reproducible processing of your pastes, perfectly integrated into your specific production processes.
The key benefits of thermal drying are:
- Uniform and fast drying
- High efficiency for large quantities
- Minimized risk of contamination
- Easy integration into automated processes
- Flexibility through various heating sources
Suitable for …
- Drying of VOC-containing substances (Volatile Organic Compounds)
- Drying of screen printing products after partial screen printing
- Drying after full-area screen printing, horizontal or vertical
- Drying of printed electronics and membrane switches
- Drying of photovoltaics, thin-film technology, hybrid technology
- Pre-drying after solder mask coating
- Final curing of photoresist solder masks after exposure and development with subsequent UV post-curing
- Ventilation and drying after wet coating
- Convection air drying of electronic substrates / bipolar plates
