What is Hot Air Blower Machine

Hot Air Blower or SMD Hot Air Gun or SMD Rework Station is a Machine or tool or equipment that blows hot air for Desoldering (Removing) and Soldering of SMD Electronic Components (Surface Mount Devices or Electronic Components) or IC from the PCB of a Mobile Cell Phone or any other PCB.

It is also called SMD Rework Station and SMD Hot Air Gun. It has control to Regulate or Control Temperature and Flow of Hot Air. Temperature settings generally range from 200 to 500 Degree Celsius.

How Does a Hot Air Blower Machine Work?

A hot air blower machine is divided into 2 parts – A Station with all the controls to set Temperature and Air Flow and a Hand Piece for Heater or Heating Coil to Release Hot Air. There is a heating element or heater coil (generally made up of ceramic) inside the hand piece. Cold air flows from the station to the hand piece and when this cold air comes in contact with the Heater or Coil, the air gets hot depending on the Temperature Setting and Hot Air Blows Out.

How to Use Hot Air Blower for Mobile Phone Repairing for Desoldering and Soldering

Here are the step-by-step instructions to use a Hot Air SMD Rework Station to properly remove any IC from any Type of PCB and solder:

  1. Set the temperature and air flow at the required setting. Make sure the temperature is neither too high nor too low. A temperature of 400 Degree Celsius is good for most soldering and desoldering work. Also make sure that the air flow setting matches the temperature setting. Proper air and temperature settings are mentioned in the manual of the machine.
  2. Identify the faulty IC and gradually give hot air to the component. Start by giving heat from some height and then gradually decrease the height. This will prevent the PCB and other electronic components from getting damaged due to thermal shock.
  3. When the solder paste is melted, remove the faulty IC using a Tweezers or IC Pick Up Tool.
  4. Clean the track properly. Use desoldering braid if required to remove all the solder paste from the track.
  5. Dispense fresh solder paste on the track and place the NEW IC.
  6. Give heat starting from some height and gradually decreasing the height of the hand piece of the hot air blower.
  7. When the solder is melted, remove the blower and the NEW IC is soldered.

Tips: Apply good quality NO-Clean Liquid Flux before desoldering and soldering.

Best Hot Air Blower for Mobile Phone Repairing

There are many manufacturers, exporters and suppliers of Hot Air Blower Machine. Well known among them are:

Many Chinese companies also manufacture and sell cheap hot air blower machines but they compromise with quality. I trust Goot (Japanese Brand), Yihua (Model 858D) and Quick (Model 858D).

Hot Air Blower FAQs

When buying a hot air blower for mobile phone repairing, you should look for a model with adjustable temperature control and airflow. This will allow you to customize the temperature and airflow to match the specific needs of each component. You should also look for a blower with a compact design, comfortable grip, and a stable base for safety and convenience.

No, you should not use a hairdryer instead of a hot air blower for mobile phone repairing. A hairdryer does not have the precision, control, or temperature range needed for mobile phone repairing, and may damage or overheat the components. It is important to use a specialized hot air blower designed specifically for electronic repair work.

To use a hot air blower for mobile phone repairing, first select the appropriate temperature and airflow settings for the component you are working on. Then, hold the blower at a safe distance from the component and slowly move it around in a circular motion, heating the area evenly until the solder melts. Once the component is loose, use tweezers or a prying tool to remove or reattach it.

To maintain and store your hot air blower, make sure to clean the nozzle and filter regularly to prevent dust and debris buildup. Store the blower in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. When not in use, make sure to unplug it and wrap the cord neatly to avoid tangling.
