Henkelman

Fully protected

In the world of electronics, where precision and durability are crucial, the vacuum packaging of electronic components offers perfect protection. Whether for printed circuit boards, sensors or chips, packaging these products using a special machine that is suitable for an electrostatic discharge safe environment will protect them against moisture, dirt and dust. Discover the benefits of vacuum packing electronics, where accuracy and functionality come together in advanced packaging.  

Which electronics can be vacuum packed?

Printed circuit boards

Vacuum packing protects sensitive electronic components against dirt, moisture and oxidation. This preserves them for longer.

Electronic modules

Smaller electronic components such as microcontrollers and microprocessors, as well as complex circuits, maintain optimal functions when they are vacuum packed.

Electronic components

Electronic components can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). We have machines that can prevent this.

Chips

Smaller electronic parts such as chips can also be vacuum sealed completely safely. This keeps them free from dust, light and air. Useful for storage and transportation.

Advantages of vacuum sealing electronics

Protection from dust, dirt and moisture

Removing all the air from the packaging and then sealing it creates an airtight barrier. This ensures that electronic components and devices are protected against dust, dirt and moisture or other harmful external factors.

Protection from dust, dirt and moisture

Reduced oxidation

Vacuum sealing your product in a special bag drastically reduces the oxidation of metal components. This is important for maintaining the conductive properties of electronics.

Reduced oxidation

Protection against electrostatic charge

Some electronic components are sensitive to the electrostatic charges. A machine that is suitable for an ESD-safe area prevents these products from being damaged during vacuuming. So that you can package them completely safely.

Protection against electrostatic charge

Optimisation of storage and transport

Removing all the air from a package reduces its size. As well as optimising the size of your products, the sleek vacuum packaging also protects against shocks and vibrations during transport.

This is how you vacuum seal electronics

Electronic components can become statically charged during a packaging process. If you still want to use vacuum packaging, choose a Henkelman with ESD protection. You put your electronic component or device in the right bag and choose the required program. When the vacuum sealing process is complete, the bag will be automatically sealed before the chamber fills with air again and you can open the lid. Useful functions when vacuuming electronics:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

ESD is the abbreviation for electrostatic discharge. Static charge can be harmful to electronics because they can jump to products with a lower potential. This is harmful to sensitive electronic components and devices. When packaging electronic components and devices such as wafers, chips, motherboards and printed circuit boards or telephones, it is best to choose a machine that is suitable for an ESD-safe environment. These machines are particularly suitable for packaging electronics in an ESD-safe area. Henkelman offers a special range of machines for vacuum sealing these products.

 

 

What happens without a machine with ESD?  

 

Damage to semiconductors

Semiconductors such as transistors microchips are extremely sensitive to ESD. A discharge can destroy the thin layers of insulation and cause irreversible damage to these components. ESD also causes non-visible damage to semiconductors. These microscopic defects can also cause failure of electronic devices and components.

 

Change in electrical properties
ESD can alter the electrical properties of semiconductors. This can cause unwanted variations in voltage, current, and resistance which can lead to malfunctions in the operation of electronic devices. Electrostatic discharge can also cause malfunctions in complex electronic circuits by altering current paths.

 

Special Henkelman machines

The Henkelman range includes several machines that are suitable for an ESD-safe environment. These are equipped with a bi-active sealing system. This ensures that the aluminium vacuum bags, in which electronics are usually packaged, are sealed on both sides. The Falcon 52 and Falcon 80 (floor models) as well as the Boxer 42XL (table model) are suitable for ESD-safe areas.

Why soft air?

When packing sharp or soft products, soft air ensures that the chamber is aerated gradually and in a controlled way after the vacuuming process. The vacuum bag therefore encloses the product gradually and in a controlled way, ensuring optimal protection.

This makes soft air ideal for packing items such as strawberries, brie and meat products with bone, as well as non-food products such as screws, bolts, electronics etc.

Why an Advanced Control System?

The full color ACS control panel is a simple operating system with icons and animations for optimal user-friendliness.

The ACS is equipped with 20 pre-set programs. You can name and set these programs, to meet your needs and recipes.
In addition, there are extra functions available such as step vacuum, marinating, tenderizing and also a preserving jar function. The available USB connection can be used to exchange data, and also to connect a (label)printer.

Need help choosing?

Not every Henkelman is suitable for an ESD-safe environment. The Falcon 52 and the Falcon 80 (floor models) as well as the Boxer 42XL (table model) are suitable for vacuum sealing electronics. Are you curious which machine best suits your needs and budget? We are happy to help you make the right choice.
