We have an electrovert 16" econopak wave solder machine with two identical pots (exchange between Tin Lead and Lead Free). When the pots are exchanged the same thermocouple is used, and the same controller is used - with the set point adjusted. The S

While the only way this thread could look more like a stealth advert is if it has the word 'advertisement' blinking at us, I'll play along. Questions are: * Have you asked the supplier Fantron Technologies [sales@fantron.com] what they suggest? * Wh

What type of wave machine? Does your machine have a pump speed dial? Does your machine have the ability to raise and lower the pot? Raise pot to as close as possible to the pallets/boards and make sure they can pass over the nozzle without hanging o

That's just dross. If you have nitrogen blowing over the wave, you could reduce its flow as it tends to blow the dust everywhere if it is set too high. (on the other hand it might reduce solder quality)

I would use a foam fluxer since spraying rosin will make the stickiest nastiest mess you can imagine. 18 layer board huh? You will want convection preheat, both top and bottom preheaters, preheat tunnel of at least 4-5', a chip wave, laminar flow w

We're not sure the specifics that BLT Circuit Services Ltd referenced, but many companies use dross reducing agents in their wave solder pots. Among dross reducing agent suppliers: * Fry [4100 Sixth Ave, Altoona, PA 16602; 814-946-1611 F814-944-8094

Hi Dave sorry not been back the Tin/P regenerator is controlled amounts of Phos additive that metallurgically reduces the dross. We do not recommend chemical methods for dross reduction as many salts/chemicals used could be hygroscopic in nature and

We have a Seho wave soldering machine and cannot seem to get rid of dross that is being generated within the solder pot, and is being pumped out in the wave. It is not the same kind of dross that forms on the surface of the solder pot(this is very m
