The secondary (primary to some) concerns are what you put into the waste stream and how you treat it, and what the chemistry of your residues does to the seals on your machine.

Look for the following machines: Aqueous Technologies ECD EMC Austin American The above mfrs. make "industrial" grade dishwashers for assembled PCB de-fluxing. Search any of those names followed by "..... batch cleaner", and your search engine will

I have had OSHA strap accumulative "sniffers" onto wave operators and maint. tech's. THe sniffers collect air bound particulates and trap them into a filter. Later the filter is analyzed and an operator exposure rate is determined. They also will la

I think it is a good idea to "waste" money on this analysis. Especially if you phase in a SAC wave alloy. Silver is not toxicity free....and lead free waves can dross 3 to 5 times faster than SnPb alloys. This produces a greater potential for airb

Preheating is critical in Vapor Phase Soldering. One trick that is done is to use the "soft vapor" area just above the soldering vapor, some machines can pause just before going into the soldering vapor. Using that pause above the vapor to continue

We use the same profiler for convection and VP. For VP you just have to be very careful as the thermocouple wires must travel through the machine so cannot get "snagged" on anything as they go in or come out.

Best to use Tin treated with TinP Additive. This ensures the Tin is fluid enough to Dissolve any Leaded residues. Run the machine for one hour at 275C then take out wave former and as much of the workings of the pot as possible. Then start bailing ou

Is this happening in the mornings? Are the operators allowing the machine to come up to set temperature before they run it?

Brian, We've see foaming issues with our wave flux occasionally when running large slugs of product through the wash. We love the wave flux and changing it was not an option. Our process parameters for the wash machine we're derived via a validati
