Dry Cabinet

What is dry cabinet and how it works?

In the Electronics Manufacturing Industry, it has a wide usage area for storing Moisture Sensitive Components (MSDs) and PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) in a moisture-free environment. The rising process temperatures with the transition to lead-free soldering create a threat to components and PCBs. The moisture inside the electronic components entering the SMD Reflow Soldering Ovens, evaporates suddenly at high temperatures and tries to get out of the component with pressure and causes malfunctions such as cracking, swelling, delamination and popcorn effect. According to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 Joint Industry Standard moisture sensitive devices (MSDs) should be stored in a moisture-free environment. X-Treme Series Auto Dry Cabinets is also an IPC member and carries out cabinet production according to this standard..

As X-Treme Series Auto Dry Cabinets, we provide smart storage solutions for drying, baking, storing and testing moisture sensitive devices (MSDs). Dry Cabinet, can be adjusted between 0.5%Rh – 95%Rh (Relative Humidity) and 2ᵒC – 125ᵒC temperature values.

Our Dry Cabinet solutions increase productivity by contributing to production quality and increase production profitability by preventing high-cost production failures.

In other words, the dry cabinet is also called: desiccators, desiccant dry cabinets, dry box, dehumidifying cabinets, low humidity Cabinets, ultra-low humidity storage cabinets, humidity-controlled cabinets.

We offer 3 different drying technologies

Altay Inc offers you 3 different lines for different capacity requirements between 300 liters to 1840 liters. For custom capacity requests, contact us.

Desiccant dry cabinets are the latest technology solution used to protect MSD’s (moisture-sensitive materials). Specially designed air ducts and circulation system directs the humid air homogeneously to the drying units. Desiccant units absorb humid air and provide a moisture-free environment into the cabinet. X-Treme Series Auto Dry Cabinets offers the fastest and most efficient dehumidification ability in the industry with the patented state-of-the-art drying units (DHM-01). Thanks to its comprehensive software when the desiccant units are saturated with moisture, they can regenerate themselves without any user intervention, and only when they need to regenerate, in this way they can prepare themselves for the next drying process.

Desiccant dry cabinets with double dryer units provide a fast, reliable, and uninterrupted drying process by enabling the drying units to work together in a comprehensive algorithm. In case of any malfunction, the dryer units back up each other and continue the drying process. All parameters related to dehumidification can be adjusted and monitored on the touch screen control panel.

Desiccant Dry Cabinets are suitable for both long- and short-term storage needs. Thanks to its ability to dry down to 0.5% RH (Relative Humidity) with high-quality dryer units, it’s possible to reset floor life of MSD Electronic Components without baking. Thus, we can prevent time loss, cost loss, and failures that may occur due to high-temperature baking. It is the most efficient solution for removing moisture trapped in the component and PCB.

In the market, baking is generally done for floor life resetting operations. The drying unit of X-Treme Series Auto Dry Cabinets operating at very low humidity levels and optional heating units up to 100ᵒC work together to provide a fast and healthy baking process at low temperatures. It provides a larger area and a more controlled drying environment compared to traditional ovens.

The main advantage they bring is their plug-and-play nature and the fact that once you plug in the cabinets they virtually work by themselves after that point without any need for installation and it continues to operate for many years without requiring any maintenance and consumables since the first start. Dryer units do not have any lifetime.
