I would be leary of a "Sucking" machine and hot liquid solder. Kester makes pellets that you put on top of the pot to seperate dross from lead. Technical Devices has a solder recovery machine Cal Agilent Technologies

Hello Sergey, I have used Kirsten Modula Wave with ADL (anti dross liquid) option. We have had the same expectation like you: less dross and lower operation cost due to no inert gas is required. That is achieved, the dross generation was modest and t

Notes from an AIM No-Lead Presentation ... Wave Soldering * May require a higher pot temperature than tin/lead: 255-265*C * May require a change in liquid fluxes to compensate for the poor wetting of some alloys and high thermal stresses of the wave

No, we haven't compared bills because we rarely let it cool completely down over night. I would think that the cost needed maintaining 200C over night versus 310C over night would be about the same, but a little less. But going from 25C up to 3

Great! Thanks a lot for the help Definitely nice when everyone is in complete agreeance. I do think going to liquid nitrogen, then a generator makes sense. Currently we aren't planning on using the machine daily, so we'll probably hold off until we a

Should contact Rehm Thermal they have a whitepaper on pros and cons of Vapor Phase vs Convection.... Vapor phase traditionally targeted heavy PCB, large mass products better then lighter ones, due to ramp rate control being harder to attain vs say a

We are having difficulty with bridging on a 2x50 pin 0.050" fine pitch connector using our selective soldering machine. It usually bridges at the end of the row, but sometimes it bridges all the pins together as it drags across (solid bridging). I

Hello Dave, Before I get into waste management, I must first stress the importance of checking with your local regulating agencies. Every area can be and usually is different. California regulations differ from Ohio and Ohio�s are different than Mu
