Heatguns are often used to strip PCBs

Steinel makes good “prosumer” grade heat guns as well as some industrial ones - Ordered List Item

Fume extraction

As long as the PCB is heated evenly and kept below soldering temperatures it should not produce too much fumes. However, even still it will produce some and you should be prepared in case it heats unevenly and begins to smoke. There are a lot of small units for soldering availible, this page is about larger units that can handle potentially larger fume amounts from a heat gun

PACE

Tabletop fume extractors. Seem to be popular, I will likely get one of these (probably (EVAC-200) as there is good documetnation and looks like its easy to find an purchase filters for them

Models:

  • Arm-Evac 1: one of these on eBay…looks like it has power and an on/off switch. Probably basic first generation unit
  • Arm-Evac 50: vacuum cleaner like unit
  • Arm-Evac 105: small ducted unit
  • Arm-Evac 200: larger ducted unit. Seems to be pretty popular
    • New: $951.92
    • 120VAC, 60Hz 3 Amps 230VAC, 50Hz 1.38 Amps
    • Two 75mm (3“) dia inlets
    • General purpose filter: Single Inlet: 288 m3/h (170 cfm); Dual Inlet: 170 m3/h (100 cfm) per inlet
    • Cleanroom filter: Single Inlet: 255 m3/h (150 cfm); Dual Inlet: 135 m3/h (80 cfm) per inlet
    • 58 dBA
    • Comparable to Hakko HJ3100
    • “for 1-4 workstations”
  • Arm-Evac 250: like the 200 but with bells and whistles like filter change alarm
  • Arm-Evac 300: gray unit that looks a little different than the others
  • Arm-Evac 400:
    • “Free Blowing Flow Rate: 595 m3/h (350 cfm)”
    • “for 2-6 workstations”
  • Evac 500: has 3 feeds instead of 2 like the other units and of course more CFM
  • Arm-Evac 1200
    • “for 6-12 workstations”
  • Lab-Evac 150: kind of a mini fume hood for a fume extracted workstation

Hakko

  • HJ3100
    • Price: $637.50
      • Seems distontinued, I had to poke around to find even this ballpark
    • 115VAC - 50/60 Hz, 3.5a, 350W
    • One Port: 100CFM (169 cu.m/h)
    • Two Ports: 180CFM (305 cu.m/h)
    • 58dB
    • 11(W) x 9(D) x 18(H) in.
      • 27.94(W) x 22.86(D) x 45.72(H) cm
    • Approx. 18 lbs. (8.16 kgs)
