Pentagal is the market leader in Europe and USA for vertical Hot Air Leveling Systems.

Our Hot Air Leveling Systems can also be found in large numbers in Asia, South America and Africa. With the manually operated models Penta 550 and Penta 580 as well as the only automatic vertical Hot Air Leveling System Penta Automatic, Pentagal has been setting worldwide standards in innovation, quality, environmental and user friendliness as well as sustainability for over 40 years. The product portfolio also includes all accessory systems for Hot Air Leveling, such as flux modules, cooling sections, air washers, flux and more.

In addition, Pentagal has made a name for itself in recent years as a special plant manufacturer for all aspects of tinning processes in other areas as well and offers other services for metal processing.

The production is located in Bochum, Germany.

Worldwide innovation! Hot Air Leveling for flexible printed circuit boards!

Pentagal has sold 2 Penta 580 Hot Air Leveling systems to USA, which are equipped with special features for flexible printed circuit boards. With these Hot Air Leveling systems it is possible to tin both rigid and flexible printed circuit boards. The PCBs can be up to 0.1 mm (4 microns) thin and up to 610 mm x 762 mm (24" x 30") in size. The systems have already been used successfully for several months.

Values

Innovation

Innovation is our lifeblood. Our challenge is to find simple solutions for complex tasks and implement them in functional mechanical engineering.

User friendliness

When developing machines, we focus on the satisfaction of our customers. Our team thrives on close and friendly cooperation with our customers. The wishes of our customers motivate us to constantly improve.

Quality

We build machines that meet the highest possible quality standards. For us, quality is not just a word, but the basis of our actions. Only by meeting the highest standards of quality and reliability our work can remain successful.

Environmental compatibility

The protection of the operator and the environment is the focus of our machine development. We were the first to build Hot Air Leveling systems as a completely closed system, minimizing the escape of vapours and maximizing operating safety.

Sustainability

What does sustainability mean in relation to our products? For us, sustainability means that our Penta systems are the opposite of disposable products. They are durable and recyclable. Due to the high quality of our systems and the fact that we still supply spare parts for older models, 30-year-old Pentas are not uncommon. The Penta family systems can also be overhauled by us. With good maintenance and care, a Penta system is virtually "indestructible". This offers our customers a great deal of security and is highly appreciated by our customers.

Hot air tinning for flexible PCBs!

Pentagal has sold several Penta 580 Hot Air Leveling systems to USA, which are equipped with special features for flexible printed circuit boards. With these Hot Air Leveling systems it is possible to tin both rigid and flexible printed circuit boards. The PCBs can be up to 0.1 mm (4 microns) thin and up to 610 mm x 762 mm (24" x 30") in size. The systems have already been used successfully for several months.

BPA-free flux Palux 40 S

Almost all common fluxes for Hot Air Leveling utilize BPA-containing additives. While bisphenol A is initially bound in plastics and detergents after polymerization, it can be released in thermally demanding industrial processes (such as HAL), exposing your employees and the environment. It is known for a long time that BPA can have estrogen-like effects in the human body. However, since 2016, there has been an intensive re-evaluation BPA risks by the European Commission. After initially being included in the category 1B reproductive toxicants, it has been listed as a "substance of very high concern" since 2017. Along with other countries, Germany has now issued a declaration of intent for restrictions. It is therefore only a matter of time before widespread restrictions on BPA-containing substances are enforced in Germany and the EU. Leading companies in the chemical and technical industry are already avoiding the use of BPA-containing chemicals and have switched to alternative products. Don't miss out on the transition to a high-performance, BPA-free flux alternative: PALUX 40S.

By avoiding BPA-containing additives, PALUX 40S can be used even more safely for humans and the environment while maintaining identical performance compared to PALUX 30H. Our machine types PENTA 450, PENTA 550, PENTA 580, and PENTA Automatic offer ideal compatibility with PALUX 40S. The resulting volatile compounds can be effectively cleaned by an air washer, following the principle of a packed bed scrubber, like the PENTA Air Cleaner. The wastewater is harmless and biodegrades rapidly. Local regulations must be considered when releasing wastewater. That´s why PALUX 40S contains no BPA!

Productronica

Pentagal is one of the 12 companies that have been exhibiting at Productronica since it began over 40 years ago. To mark the occasion, the Pentagal trade fair team, consisting of (from left to right) Frank Winter, Dr. Sabine Schlaeger-Diegel and Fabrice Lauf, received an award from the trade fair management at the Pentagal stand during the trade fair in November 2015.

Pssst! ... the "whisper" hot air leveling system from Pentagal

For some years now, Pentagal has been building manual Hot Air Leveling systems, that are equipped with special measures to reduce noise emissions. This has enabled the sound pressure level to be reduced to 76.1 dB(A) at maximum normal blow-off pressure. The daily noise exposure level is therefore below 80 dB(A), which means that the company can avoid special preventive measures for the machine operator. The peak sound pressure level is also below the action value. Pentagal, which was the first manufacturer to build a completely enclosed hot-air tinning system, has therefore once again achieved its goal of being a leader in operator protection.

To make the operator's work even easier, Pentagal developed a robust and user-friendly service trolley, Penta troll, which holds the tools required to service a Penta hot air tinning system.

The table offers optimal possibilities to store all dismantled parts of the system safely and professionally in a designated place during maintenance. The table is made of high-quality stainless steel and has swivel castors for maximum flexibility in handling around the tinning system.

Visit from Prime Minister

At the joint stand of the German Federal Environmental Foundation at the Hanover Fair 2009, the then Prime Minister Christian Wulff is shown the Penta Spector, a Pentagal development for the inspection of printed circuit board surfaces.

About us

The company has been building several hundred manually operated hot-air levelling systems since 1982. Dr Sabine Schlaeger-Diegel is the managing director and Frank Winter is the technical director.
