Application: SMT machine
In the rapid development of the electronics manufacturing industry, SMT (surface mount technology) as the core process of electronic product production, the stability of compressed air, cleanliness and energy saving put forward stringent requirements. From the accurate pick and place of tiny electronic components to welding, a stable air source directly determines the yield rate and production efficiency of the product. ZAKF, a brand of Dongguan Jubilee Compressor Fittings Co., Ltd, has launched a 20hp fixed speed screw air compressor, which has become an ideal air source solution for many SMT production lines due to its significant advantages of high reliability, energy-saving economy and low maintenance cost.
An electronics factory in China specializes in SMT production of consumer electronics products. The air compressor it was using had frequent problems with component placement shifts and soldering errors due to fluctuations in air pressure and excessive oil content, resulting in a product failure rate of up to 10%. At the same time, equipment maintenance is complex, monthly downtime maintenance time up to 15 hours, seriously affecting the delivery of orders. Mr. Li, the production manager, confessed, “The unstable gas source makes us repeatedly frustrated in the bidding of high-end customers' orders, and the maintenance cost also remains high.”
The situation was greatly improved with the introduction of a ZAKF . The ZAKF 20hp fixed-speed
Screw Compressor adopts a direct-drive structure with a third generation asymmetric rotor profile, increasing volumetric efficiency to more than 88% and reducing energy consumption by 18% compared with the previous machine. The stable air pressure output and standard dual-stage filtration system control the oil content within 3ppm, providing a clean and stable air source for the mounter. Mr. Li excitedly shared, "After the new compressor was put into use, the defective rate of the products plummeted to 3%, and the annual production capacity increased by 25%. Moreover, the robust cast iron body and low-maintenance design have enabled our equipment to have an annual failure rate of less than 0.5%, saving us more than 10 hours of maintenance time per month and reducing our overall costs by 22%."
ZAKF 20hp fixed speed screw compressor was the best choice for Star Electronics, a small and medium-sized SMT processor with a limited budget, because of its 15% savings in initial purchase cost compared to an inverter model, IP54 protection and low-maintenance modular design. ZAKF's 20hp fixed-speed screw compressor was the best choice. The compressor's direct-connection structure reduces the number of complex parts and cuts routine maintenance time by 40%," said Mr. Wang, technical director. The stable operation performance over the past year has enabled us to respond to various orders with ease and stand firm in the competition in the industry."
In addition to excellent product performance, ZAKF's perfect after-sales service system also provides customers with solid protection. A one-year warranty and a sufficient stock of original spare parts ensure a quick response to repair the equipment when problems occur. Jubilee's experienced team of engineers also provides professional installation and commissioning services, and develops personalized regular maintenance plans according to the needs of enterprises to further extend the service life of the equipment and optimize operational efficiency.
