Process Risk
Why Gas Quality is Critical in Electronics Production
In the compressed air electronics industry, gas quality directly affects soldering performance, corrosion risk, surface cleanliness and production yield.
High-Volume N₂ Consumption
Wave and reflow soldering lines consume nitrogen continuously; cylinder supply is expensive and unreliable.
Purity Consistency
Inconsistent nitrogen purity causes oxidation-related soldering defects and reduced yield.
Energy & Cost Pressure
Compressed air accounts for up to 30% of energy costs in electronics plants; efficiency matters.

Process Applications
Applications Across Electronics Manufacturing
BERG systems support high purity nitrogen electronics applications and cleanroom compressed air across production, storage, laser processing and automated assembly.
N₂
SMT Reflow Soldering
Nitrogen atmospheres in reflow ovens prevent oxide formation on solder paste and PCB pads, improving wetting, joint quality and first-pass yield.
N₂
Wave Soldering
N₂ blanketing in wave soldering reduces dross formation, improves solder wetting and extends solder pot life — significantly reducing rework and scrap rates.
N₂
Selective Soldering
High-purity nitrogen creates an inert atmosphere around the solder nozzle, preventing oxidation and ensuring consistent, reliable joints on through-hole components.
N₂
Component & PCB Storage
Nitrogen storage cabinets and chambers protect moisture-sensitive devices (MSDs) and oxidation-sensitive components from environmental degradation between production runs.
N₂ + Air
Laser Cutting & Marking
Nitrogen as cutting assist gas produces clean, oxide-free edges on copper, aluminium and FR4 materials. Compressed air for beam path purging and pneumatic systems.
Air
Cleanroom Compressed Air
Ultra-clean, dry, oil-free compressed air to ISO 8573-1 Class 1 for pneumatic tools, pick-and-place machines, test equipment and cleanroom automation.
Cylinder Replacement
Why Switch from Cylinder to On-Site N₂ Generation?
On-site nitrogen gives electronics manufacturers predictable cost, stable availability and process-specific purity control without the logistics of delivered gas.
Cost Reduction
Eliminate recurring cylinder, rental and delivery costs. Typical payback under 18 months.
Purity Control

FAQ
Questions About Compressed Air & Nitrogen for Electronics
Most SMT reflow and wave soldering applications require 99.9% to 99.999% N₂ purity. BERG NITROBERG generators are configured precisely to the purity your process requires. Higher purity (99.999%) is typically used for the most sensitive lead-free solder applications. Our engineers advise on the optimal purity level for your specific process.
Oil contamination in compressed air causes serious quality failures in electronics manufacturing — including PCB surface contamination, adhesion failures in conformal coating, and damage to sensitive pneumatic valves and actuators. BERG KOMPBERG oil-free compressors eliminate this risk entirely, meeting ISO 8573-1 Class 0 for oil content.
For continuous SMT and wave soldering operations, on-site PSA nitrogen generation typically reduces gas costs by 60–80% compared to cylinder or liquid nitrogen supply. The exact saving depends on your current consumption and purity requirement — BERG provides a free site-specific cost comparison on request.
Yes. BERG Kompressoren GmbH supplies complete integrated systems combining oil-free compressors, air dryers, filtration and PSA nitrogen generators — engineered, delivered and commissioned as a single turnkey solution with one service contract and one point of contact.
A standard NITROBERG PSA skid installation can typically be commissioned within a few days, depending on site preparation and compressed air infrastructure. BERG's engineering team handles full project management from site survey through commissioning and handover.
