Why is it people still prefer to do manual stirring of solder paste versus automated solder paste softener ? I learned that one of the dis-advantage of using the softener is that this method is actually seperating the metal and flux. Is there any oth

Under web search you type solder paste softener. It is meant to replace manual stiring process of solder paste prior use. I heard that the spinner/softener is no use as it will seperate the flux and metal content during the spinning process. But, I h

Or is solder quality better with automated mixing?

Since you have used malcom softener, did you encounter and sudden rise of void level in the solder joints as compared to manual stirring?

Good morning, Solder paste softeners are designed to allow solder paste reach ambient temperature during shorter time period (only 5-10 minutes instead of hours). You are preparing your material in right way. No reason to worry. BR, Pavel

Agree with Joe 100%, we recently brought one in from Malcolm for trial, this company had not practiced viscosity reading or anything in the process, the trail run was a great improvement in print, consistancy, deposition and formation of the solder b

Yngwie, In a previous life, I used a mixer made by Malcolm and was very happy with it. We used Alpha 609 WS paste and experienced no separation problems. The Malcolm equipment agitated the material in a non-concentric motion which tends to "fold

Thanx Dave/Hussman.. We normally store our solder paste in the refrigerator at 0-10 Deg C as per what the supplier recommanded. Our floor temperature is controlled at 22 +/- 5 Deg C and Humidity is at 55 +/- 5%. Recently we have customer asking fo

Good morning, I can recommend to use solder paste softeners, which can prepare solder paste for printing process. Softeners rise paste temperature by means of pseudo-planetary motion. Therefore, solder paste reaches room temperature during only 15
