Mike, If your wave solder machine doesn't have enough preheat capacity you can put the board in an oven and warm it part way before you put it into the wave solder machine. This works best with a spray fluxer, as a warm board will collapse the foam

We installed a SonoFlux ultrasonic spray fluxer, replacing the foam fluxer in our Electrovert Econopak wave in 2014. The cost at that time was 16K, installation included. We ran water based flux through it and as long as we kept it clean, worked well

does anyone knows how to calculate a correct fluxer traverse speed if given a spray width,pcb width & length and wave conveyor speed? thanks

Philip, Pl note that there is one more fabricator from Malasia, whom we found to be up to the mark with Wave Soldering Pallets constructed with Durastone/CDM Durastone. They also offer ESD Protected to match ESD guidelines of Assembly & Photo Sensi

Big BIG BIGG wave with a lot of preheat capability both top and bottom. You may need to exceed the standard "100 C" top side preheat to 120C or so (be aware of any topside SMT going into reflow over the wave). A spray fluxer with very fine atomizati

Thanks for the advice regarding the ultrasonic spray fluxer ... we are currently using Delta Wave 6622c wave solder machine with dual spray heads (the ability to use two completely different kinds of flux chemistries). It's a great system that works

There is no current standard for the amount of flux that should be applied to a board. Current standards focus on what the result of a process should be, not how the process should be performed. So, the standard tells you that you need a procedure de

Hey guys, I was wondering if there was a standard set of tests used to evaluate flux chemistries for wave soldering. For several years, we've been spraying Alpha 871-25A flux from Alpha Metals onto our printed circuit boards with relatively good suc

Hi George, Depending on your product, wave soldering twice is not all that bad. Residues will be higher, but should only be cosmetic unless your product is sensitive to ionic contamination. You can set-up an alternate profile on your wave for 're-
