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

Never used stainless pots as when we converted to lead free we changed all the pots to titanium. Been using SN100C for many years now, very good results, also use it in reel form in our selective solder machines with great results. Bear in mind the

Looking at picture 20170801_095540.jpg, the leads look pretty long to me. This would cause you to have to lower your solder pot so that they don't get hung up. Have the leads cut to ~0.150" (0.200" max) long and then raise your pot up.

I don't recall if the heater wattage is the same or not for the different pots. If the wattage is different then the PID algorithm is also different. this anticipated when & by how much the heater will overshoot its setpoint and turns the heater off

Steve: How bout putting it on pie plate, running it through your reflow oven, and then adding it to your wave solder pot?

Hi Dave, how does that calculate when you consider a topside temperature of for example 120�C like mentioned for NC-flux a while ago and a pot temperature of 250�C ? Just wondering Wolfgang

I'm with John. Back in the old MIL-2000 days, the pot temperature was 245-275C (475-525F). Now, 240-260C (460-480 F) is more accepted for eutechic (eutechicish) solder. My2� Dave F

Kester has a special alloy for high temp soldering. Alloy 123. I would think that if you coocked 63/37 to 360c you would have a pot of dross in no time! Doug

Hi, I am curious to know who manufactures kleenox for de-drossing wave solder pot. I do appreciate a contact/telephone info about mid-west distributors. thanks MP

Assuming the poor hole fill is not localized, try: * Inadequate preheat * Flux specific gravity is low * Low solder temperature * Conveyor is running too fast * Solder pot is contaminated
