High-Density Bare Insulation Replacement Service for REFLOW OVENS

Problems and Causes

An electronics manufacturing company is facing significant heat loss issues in their production process, particularly with the Reflow Oven located in the cleanroom. The main cause is the lack of thermal insulation on the equipment, resulting in two major problems:

1. Employee Safety and Health: Heat radiation from the uninsulated oven directly affects workers in the area, exposing them to high-temperature risks and potential long-term health issues.
2. Production Costs and Energy Usage: The heat loss results in unnecessary energy waste, as heat that should be used in the production process escapes into the environment, leading to increased production costs and energy expenses.
