5 Smart ways to achieve Zero Air Bubble in On Board Chargers Potting.

This German OBC manufacturer needed precise, bubble-free potting with full flexibility for future models. Specially get a go ahead from their customer by showcasing NO air bubbles. And it had to be done in less than 16 weeks.

For the manufacturing plant in Vietnam Perfect Potting isn’t just a requirement-it’s the foundation of their reputation. As a world-class manufacturer, they supply high-quality on board chargers globally.

But with every new variety, the game changed.

Circuit designs kept evolving. Potting quantities varied. Component geometries changed. And customer rejected a job with slightest bubbles.

For their latest project, they faced a critical challenge:
A tricky PU formulation which is extremely moisture sensitive requiring a precise 100:8 mixing ratio

A 400gm to 1kg is the Potting quantity variation, demanding extreme accuracy

100% bubble free is the target to win the customer’s heart.

The Reality: All variants gave bubbles after potting!

The company explored multiple options, but every solution came with serious drawbacks:

Lack of flexibility – Conventional machines weren’t adaptable.

High investment, high risk Importing a system cost 3-4x more, came with 6-8 month delivery times, and still lacked flexibility.

Lack of Process knowledge with vendors they chose Bubble formation and mixing inconsistencies risked the production output. And no one knew the right process.

They needed a total solution.- one that would guarantee 100% bubble-free potting, maintain Potting compound weight, and adapt effortlessly to future design changes.

Partnered with Twin, not just for a machine – but for a complete, future-proof potting process with one goal to achieve 100% Bubble free Potting and win the customer’s heart.

Fully Integrated Automation  – A complete system with double head with independent axes, vacuum chamber for degassing ensuring perfect repeatability and no operator dependency.

100% Flexibility – Designed to reconfigure easily for different sizes of the jobs, shot sizes, and component geometries-future-proofing investment.

Delivered in Just 12 Weeks – A fraction of the time compared to imported solutions, with zero risk in implementation.

The Result: Zero air bubbles and a happy end customer!

Such smallest air bubble was rejected by the end customer.

100% data maintained for every OBC – Twin’s precision control eliminated bubble formation and mix ratio inconsistencies and gathered data for customer audit for each job with Potting quantities dispensed

Key Takeaway: A partner who knows the Process can give you the results that you want!

Most potting machines force manufacturers to adjust their process to fit the machine. But with Twin’s expertise, I got a solution designed around their needs-one that works today and adapts effortlessly for tomorrow.
