Since a few years Pentagal makes a mark as special purpose machinery manufacturer for tinning machinery. As a “global player” the share of exports runs up to more than 80 %. We supply Hot Air Leveling Systems to USA, Japan, China, India, to different countries in South America, Scandinavia, Africa and to most of the European countries.

Since many years Pentagal-Chemie is represented at the following fairs: Productronica in Munich and IPC-Show in USA. Pentagal is one of the 12 companies under hundreds, which exhibit since 46 years at Productronica in Munich. Additionally Pentagal has its own agencies in USA, Canada, Asia, Russia, India, Poland, Italy and Spain.

Innovation, user- and customer-orientation, highest quality, non-pollution and sustainability are supreme objectives.

Within the 80ies Penta Hot Air Leveling Systems created much more agreeable and less stressing work conditions for the operator, because they were built as a compact system. As a result noise and fume could be isolated. With its first diagonal Hot Air Leveling System Pentagal set worldwide standards.

Even today innovation, user- and customer-orientation, highest quality and non-pollution are the supreme objectives of PENTAGAL. Due to this philosophy PENTAGAL started to develop a vertical Hot Air Leveling System, which is more cost-effective, space-economizing, more available and ecological than present horizontal automatic Hot Air Leveling Systems.

Thanks to years of experience in plant manufacturing and to intensive feedback of customers PENTA AUTOMATIC, the first automatic vertical Hot Air Leveling System of the world, was developed. Many well-known enterprises, such as AT&S AG, EPC International, Fuba Tunisie, Green Source Fabrication LLC, Schweizer Electronic AG, Schaltungsdruck Storz, Serigroup a.m.o are convinced of the various advantages of the PENTA AUTOMATIC. For company Schweizer Electronic Pentagal developed a PENTA AUTOMATIC with exchangeable solder pot for tin-lead as well as lead-free solder in 2012.

The latest development is a manual Hot Air Leveling machine for flexible printed circuit boards from 0.1 mm, which can also be used for normal boards up to 5.0 mm.
