Smoke And Dust Removal Is Important In The Electronics Industry

However, while enclosed (dust-free) rooms are perfect for electronic components, the same cannot be said for the people in the room.

Smoke extraction is important in the electronics industry because the manufacturing process involves the use of solvents, resins and cleaners, all of which emit smoke. These fumes may be harmless in small amounts, but may cause health problems in the long run. This effect is further exacerbated in enclosed environments where steam may accumulate.

Smoke extraction is important in the electronics industry because the manufacturing process involves the use of solvents, resins and cleaners, all of which emit smoke. Electronics manufacturing may require additional processes such as welding. Welding is a process of joining small parts together using molten metal, which is melted using a soldering iron.

One of the common by-products of welding is resin smoke, which is a rosin (a product made from tree SAP) vapor produced by the flux. In addition, solder smoke may contain metal vapors and particles.

These fumes can cause irreparable damage to workers' organs over time, making it necessary for the electronics industry to invest in smoke extraction. These fumes may be harmless in small amounts, but may cause health problems in the long run. This effect is further exacerbated in enclosed environments where steam may accumulate.

While electronics manufacturing poses risks to people's health, the components are not completely safe. Some types of electronic components are susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge.

What is electrostatic discharge? When two bodies rub against each other, an electric charge builds up between them -- like when you rub fur on a balloon, or anything on our bodies, including clothes and carpet on a very dry day.

Since we've already mentioned how electronics manufacturing areas need to be moisture free, you can see how these workplaces can facilitate electrostatic charge accumulation.

People can carry this charge until they come into contact with a conductive object and receive a mild shock. For us, this is a very mild discomfort, but for electrostatic discharge sensitive (ESDS) devices and devices, it can be a death sentence.

To protect them from ESD damage, you need to set up an ESD secure workstation. This requires ESD protection equipment

Through our products, we help our electronics manufacturing customers protect themselves from process by-products and protect their products from damage. If you need any help finding suitable smoke and dust removal products or advice on ESD products, please email us. We are happy to help you..
