OK International will launch the Metcal MFX-2200 fume extraction system on Stand G610 at Nepcon 2005 in Brighton A multi-user system designed to support up to eight manual electronics assembly workstations, or to remove particulates and gases from exhaust cabinets and small bench-top wave and reflow soldering equipment

With lead-free electronics manufacturing on the horizon, processes will require higher soldering temperatures.

Chemicals and materials are therefore likely to become airborne in greater amounts than was the case with lead containing solders and it is also likely that the use of lead-free solders will increase and not decrease evaporation from metals and fluxes.

To cope with the increased volume and concentration of fumes and gases, the MFX-2200 fume extraction system offers a 50% improvement in airflow, 300% increase in HEPA filter size and a massive 600% boost in carbon gas filter capacity, compared with previous Metcal generation systems.
