PCB Manufacturer: How to select the appropriate solder paste mixer?

The solder paste mixer can realize the purpose of mixing solder powder and solder paste evenly without contact with air and without oxidation or absorption of water vapor. The solder paste mixer has a strong ability to stir solder paste, which makes the SMT printing process simple. When purchasing a solder paste mixer, PCBA electronic product processing manufacturers may have doubts about whether the more expensive the solder paste mixer is, the better. In fact, this is not the case. The price is only a part of the factors that affect the machine, and it cannot directly judge the quality of a machine. Next, let me tell you how to choose a suitable solder paste mixer.

In fact, this is not the case. The price is only a part of the factors that affect the machine, and it cannot directly judge the quality of a machine. Next, let me tell you how to choose a suitable solder paste mixer.

1. According to the mixing method

Solder paste mixer can be divided into horizontal and 45 degree mixing methods. The horizontal mixing mode has the disadvantages of rapid temperature rise, easy oxidation and air coating due to violent mixing. The solder paste mixer has the advantage of using 45 degree mixing method, which is relatively uniform and mild. The temperature rise after mixing is low, so that the solder paste will not overflow, and the air will not be covered to form bubbles, solder beads, and tin holes. Therefore, the 45 degree mixing method should be selected.

2. According to capacity and mixing capacity

The maximum mixing capacity of the solder paste mixer directly affects the production efficiency. SMT manufacturers should choose appropriate capacity and mixing capacity according to their own conditions.

3. According to security

The speed of the solder paste mixer is very fast when mixing. When selecting the solder paste mixer, double safety devices should be selected to ensure personal safety.

4. According to post service

A good solder paste mixer not only has good performance, but also has a good warranty period and machine maintainability.

Nowadays, the prices of solder paste mixers on the market are uneven. You cannot directly judge whether a solder paste mixer is good or bad according to the price. You also need to choose a suitable solder paste mixer according to the specific performance of the machine.

The circuit board manufacturer and circuit board designer will explain how to select the appropriate solder paste mixer.
