Looking for a ballpark price of a new reflow oven - 8 or 10 zones? One from a reputable industry brand. Years ago I remember they were around $150k. Is this still the case? Thanks

No, it isn't. Last year I paid mid fifties for a brand new 8 zone BTU. Air only, belt and rails, not a lot of bells and whistles.

There isn't a ton to a reflow oven and the chinese ones have gotten pretty decent, which pushes the price down for everyone.

In 2014 we paid about $40K USD for a new Heller 1707 MKIII (no nitrogen) which is a 7 zone oven. One does not need a 8-10 zone oven unless you are doing high volume. We use the 1707 for everything including lead or lead-free solder, 0.031" to 0.093" thick pcbs, BGAs, QFNs, fine pitch, etc.

Wow did not expect them to be this cheap. Thanks for the info. Thought they would actually cost more now. I guess the market has really changed.

JimPat, I travel to a lot of companies and I regularly hear complaints about pieces of equipment, new and used. The one piece of advice I would give is buy a main brand. Figure out your wants and needs to spec the oven and then buy a Vitronics, Heller, Electrovert or BTU. You will be supported well by any of these companies. I know the Electrovert and Vitronics guys personally and have worked with Heller to. Even though most brands are actually built somewhere in Asia now, there is a big difference in long term quality and support. Good luck with your purchase.
