Compact Reflow Ovens for SMT Assembly Applications
A zone configuration that doesn’t compromise on mass-production quality, even in a limited space.
The greatest feature of Antom’s compact reflow ovens is that they achieve mass-production quality in a limited installation space.
While compact reflow ovens used in the platform metal mounting (SMT) field are primarily for non-mass production applications such as prototyping, evaluation, and reliability testing, we also offer a space-saving type with a total length of 4m that can handle mass production.
At first glance, a 4-meter-long reflow oven might seem odd to call a small one.
However, what if we told you that this 4-meter-long oven has an 8 heating zone + 2 cooling zone configuration?
If you were considering a reflow oven with an 8 heating zone + 2 cooling zone configuration from another company, you would likely find a total length of 5 to 6 meters unavoidable.
This allows for a wide range of production configurations, even in environments with limited installation space, without restricting production scale.
• Semi-mass production
• Multi-product production
This makes it possible to accommodate a wide variety of production types.
We propose only the essential components necessary for mass production of SMT, without any waste.
In recent years, other companies have increasingly adopted the trend of making “reflow ovens that are designed for nitrogen” their standard specifications.
However, in actual field operations,
• Many processes do not use nitrogen
• Unnecessary specifications lead to increased costs
There are many voices saying these things.
At Antom, we design our ovens clearly separating “atmospheric environment only” and “nitrogen-compatible” depending on the application.
For example, a nitrogen atmosphere is required in the following applications:
• Mounting of fine-pitch components
• Processes where stable yield is important
In such cases, Antom’s reflow ovens for mounting can be operated in a nitrogen atmosphere only when necessary.
“The ability to use nitrogen” and “being designed with nitrogen in mind from the start” are two different things. This understanding is key to achieving the optimal balance between equipment costs and implementation quality.
The option of an air-only reflow oven
Antom can propose specialized equipment designed to maximize the quality of assembly in an atmospheric environment.
• Achieves stable mass production quality while keeping initial investment low
• Optimized size for domestic mass production lines
“Not forcing a nitrogen-compatible furnace into a process that is perfectly adequate in an atmospheric environment” Antom believes that this is also the correct equipment selection.
A reflow oven designed from the perspective of the actual mounting (SMT) process.
Antom has consistently designed its products with the following principles in mind:
• Taking on-site constraints into account
• Retaining only the truly necessary functions
That’s why we’ve received the praise of being “compact yet capable of mass production”.
• Wanting to use nitrogen only when necessary
• Wanting to achieve mass production quality in a limited space
Antom’s reflow ovens for surface-mount manufacturing (SMT) meet all of these requirements.

Medium-sized reflow oven (heating oven) N2 compliant model
| Model Name | Total Device Length | Number of Zones | Effective Substrate Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| EXSOL-8231 | 4,110mm | Heating 8 (2) | 50～310mm |
| EXSOL-8246 | 4,110mm | Heating 8 (2) | 50～460mm |
We also offer options for applications where atmospheric air is sufficient.
Not all heating processes require a nitrogen atmosphere.
Antom also offers dedicated furnaces optimized for use in atmospheric environments.
By eliminating unnecessary functions, we reduce installation costs and operational burdens while reliably meeting the performance requirements for mounting and heating. Antom proposes atmospheric-only furnaces equipped with only what is necessary.

At Antom, we also offer custom and bespoke solutions based on our compact reflow ovens.
While the UNI series is designed as a compact reflow oven suitable for a wide range of applications, there may be cases where the standard specifications are insufficient depending on the workpiece shape, heat capacity, and process conditions.
If you feel that our standard products are slightly inadequate, please feel free to contact us.
