Hello, my question would be how often you clean the pot? The second picture with the particles looks for me like burned flux etc. When you took out a large quantity of solder dross, I think that big amount of it was released into system. Clean the

A number of years ago I used a Kester product called Solder Saver. It is a thick liquid that one squirts onto the dross on a hot solder pot. It separates out the solder leaving a crust of almost clean dross. Unfortunately a mask is still required. Th

easier if you recycled on-site? You can still send off for reclaimation the oxide powder that your left at the end of the process. Failing that talk to your supplier to see if they have arrangements to do this for you or look at reducing dross - i f

Hi Folks, Need to draw upon the vast expertise in this forum... Whenever you fill a new wave solder machine with fresh bar solder, it seems to produce more than the normal amount of dross for a few weeks. I always understood this to be the solder "c

On an ACE KISS machine we could program a drop in Z height to give a peel off angle after the component was soldered. Usually not necessary as the solder at the nozzle is falling away from the lead down the nozzle. If possible, we would program a fr

I am looking for data / info on how flux may contaminate the solder in a Wave. I have a customer who requires a no clean process. Our wave is equipped with 2 separate fluxing systems and I would like to use OA in one and the No Clean in the other. Th

I think OA flux left on the pot would quickly looses its activity and become part of the dross waste stream, and smoke stream for that matter. Also, if your wave is setup properly your selective pallets will scour (push) the top of the lambda wav

I use this directly in the solder pot inside the wave machine. It is small enough to float at the surface of the solder, yet by loading it it act as a sieve and retains the dross while most of the solder pass trough, allowing me to clean the whole po
