Consider these three potential causes: 1) too much sludge - if the sludge builds up around or over the temperature sensor, then the sensor does not get an accurate reading. 2) too much chemistry in the evaporation solution - Check the temperature a

Thanks for the suggestions...The unit was just cleaned last week and all the sludge was removed so that shouldnt be it. As for the concentration, im not sure. The only water that has gone into the evap is the rinse water. So im not sure if that could

Your leadfree dross should float, similar to your leaded dross. It's possible you're thinking about the process for removing excess copper from the solder pot. Following the same process, with: * Leaded solder, the copper floats. So, you scoop the

Kevin, Not sure about Florida but in Colorado we just transfer the wash solution to a drum and then dispose of it as haz.waste because of the lead. Currently costs about $200/55 gallon drum and we change the solution monthly. Another option would

"Would you be able to use a piped water eye wash system? That way the water is always fresh." That's what you would think, but I've heard otherwise. If you don't flush them out regularly, the water will sit in the pipes and start coroding them. If

I use Kyzen's Aquanox SSA cleaner in a heated parts cleaning tub to clean anything with flux condensate on it. When heated to 120F, the stuff melts away like ice under hot water. When the cleaning solution is loaded, I send it in an evaporator. The s

We use an evaporator, so that we only have a sludge of flux residue and solder metal to dispose of via the hazmat handling service. We also route stencil washer waste water into it. We use a 30 gallon drum and have it hauled off maybe twice a year,

MK, In most cases, if the machine is completely closed-looped (prewash, wash, prerinse, rinse, final rinse etc), then the water should not require changing. As with most inline cleaners, there should be a considerable amount of water loss in the cl

We recently purchased an old Fuji IP-I placement machine and have been testing 8x4 feeders for 0805 parts, etc. I have opened some of the non-working feeders to replace broken pieces and have noticed that some of the feeders are completely clean ins
