How do you drain out the solder at the bottom ? I thought most solder pots have a channel from the pump impeller to the bottom of the nozzle. When you get down to that point is that when you use the drain? I've managed to not have to drain a big po

Hi all, I have an Electrovert Econopak Plus wave solder machine. Lately the solder pot temp has been fluctuating +/-10 degrees c. I have replaced the thermocouple as I suspected it to be faulty but the problem still exists. I am confident that the

No, raising the solder pot temperature to 800*F will not affect affect your solder alloy. We expect that you had a fairly high level of intermetallic compound generation, but most of that would be included in the fairly high dross generation that ha

HI all, which is the last "though" about the max Pb % allowed/acceptable into a Pb Free Alloy ? For istance inside : - HASL Process Solder Pot Alloy - Wave Solder Pot Alloy ( 400Kg mass average) - Static Wave Solder Pot Alloy - Etc IPC-J-

I ever thot of changing the whole solder pot altogether but then it prove to be a costly measures.. If looking at the source of the problem, it might be mainly due to the way that the machine had been maintain... Anyone care to share how they are per

No need to change solder pot ,anyway the contamination during clean and no clean flux may happen when change from clean to no clean which it will float on the surface of solder pot , you only clean it ( same as the dross removal ) due to in the norm

Hi People I will need some help on basic things really, we are replacing the existing solder pot with a lead free capable solder pot, but what are the other parameters that we need to look in to, to be able to achieve good quality soldering on the sa

Hello All, I am wondering if anyone has come up with an easy and safe way to drain a solder pot on a wave solder machine? We are getting rid of an old machine and replaceing it with an newer machine and we want to use as much of the solder from the o

Use "Bakers Secret" Teflon coated loaf pans to make the nicest solder ingots that you have ever seen. We hope you are using the term "draining the solder pot" euphemistically. Using the drain on the bottom of the pot is dangerous. [Too much can go
