Just PM'd our Pillarhouse Jade Mark II this morning and found excessive solder balls all over the solder pot as well as the bottom of the machine. While removing all the dross it's very obvious that the dross is a REAL fine powder unlike any of the o

You have alot of advantages staying with the Samsung. The CP60 is a great machine. With the removable carts for setting up in advance giving quick change over. Very good price and better service for you than we get here. Their parts teach on these is

Let me give some information on the use of MS2. The average wave solder machine will use one liter per five day week per 8 hour shift. The usage can vary + or - 20%. Instead of removing 6 to 10 Lbs of dross every 3 hours you will have to remove 100 M

Eric, We also have a UPK 650C. Our machine was configured for N2 and using the ConTour nozzle. If you're using this nozzle without N2 you're creating tons of dross unnecessarily not to mention probably getting tons of icicling. We found out the h

We don't do any of this. We had our operators tested by OSHA for lead inhalation using special sniffers during the wave solder process and passed by a magnatudes in limits while operating the machine and removing dross. Our recycling agency doesn't

We know of two "solder savers" 1 Kester Formula 5749 Solder Saver: We believe Kester Formula 5749 Solder Saver to be a new formulation of Kleenox. Kleenox works. It helps separate the solder entrapped in the dross. [One tiny warning, one chemical

unfortunately when worring about cost, a plastic spoon will not work as one of our brilliant operators found out.

I wonder if the wave was the proper place to work for someone with thought processes like that!!! Although burning plastic is sometimes and nice change from flux fumes!!! Then again, our hiring rep states that she will never work at a place that em

I did the same thing in ours (removed the chip wave). What kind of machine do you have? What I did on our TD machines, I added some extra channels to minize the solder "splash" on the void which is the reason more dross is formed. Hope this helps a

I am looking for a nice way to print labels, say 1/2"x1 1.5" which I can place on a feeder or IC tube and remove easily later. I am going to set up a laptop on a cart with a small printer and write scripts for my MRP database application so the opera
