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

I'm sure this isn't the same situation, but we did have a selective solder machine with crazy dross and solder ball build up. Turns out the operator switched the low pressure nitrogen line used for solder level and the high pressure nitrogen line fo

I recently witnessed a process in which the solder pot operator used Techspray WSOL water soluble masking to cover the areas around a connector that was to be soldered on the solder pot. He did not wait for the WSOL to cure. He soldered immediately.

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

Hi all, I have an inconsistent situation. Lately, we seem to have excessive dross buildup in the solder pot which inturn causes the pot to overflow. Has anyone had a similar experience? Here are the details: age of machine= 9 years, flux used= Kester
