Find out what the exhaust draw requirements are and talk to a HVAC expert. They should be able to tell you what size fans and duct work you need for your oven. They can also calculate how much draw you have with your current set up.

I would be leary of a "Sucking" machine and hot liquid solder. Kester makes pellets that you put on top of the pot to seperate dross from lead. Technical Devices has a solder recovery machine Cal Agilent Technologies

Tim, call kester and ask for references who better than them to tell you who is using. Russ

Hi all, I wonder if some of you have experience in use of dross eliminator as a Kester 5744 or maybe with MS2 Molten Solder Sulfactant. I would like to know if they give good results in process and pot cleaning. Regards, Betsy

You can find some interesting stuff regarding MS2 here in the fine SMTnet forum archives. I would add that there is reference to a dross reducer/inhibitor/eliminator on his website and it is, from what I can tell, not much less hazardous than Kester

Hi, I trialled 4 or 5 of the main suppliers including Kester. I went with Alpha OM338 SAC305 - exceeded all expectations and actually performs better than PB Paste in my opinion. aj...

Good Afternoon, We are using Kester 520A. It has worked well for us so far. Good Luck Chris

It's possible that 90/10 is being replaced by LF in many ball suppliers' [Alpha Metals, Kester, AIM] inventories.

What are the area and aspect ratio of the apertures that clog? When you print, you should be able to fit at least 4 of the mean sized solder sphere across the width or diameter of your smallest apertures.
