Mohammed, The first suggested place to start with your question would probably be with your flux Mfr. Push them! The quantity of dross is effected by several factors: The higher your solder pot temp., the higher your dross level... but don't go too

We would need more info to answer. How many boards get run between de-drossings? How many days between de-drossings? Are you removing dross only or some good solder with it? Jerry

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

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

Recently we have noticed a purple-blue colour film on the surface of the molten solder. It can be cleared when de-drossing the pot. The pot will normally go a yellow/gold colour before it turns purple-blue. Is this most likely an oxide of the tin or

A couple of things that have helped me with solder ball issues at wave in the past: 1. Flux. Insure good flux coverage on the bottom of the board. 2. Preheat. Insure that the board is sufficiently preheated for the wave operation. Since you're

I don't know why anyone would even want any of this stuff since you get paid for the solder that's in your dross anyway. The way I look at it is that it's really a GOOD THING to have some solder come out with the dross while you're de-drossing your

Bob The actual process for converting from SAC305 to SN100C is pretty painless. Basic steps: 1) make sure your solder pot is at temp 2) de-dross 3) pull pumps/flow duct(s) and clean 4) purge pot of SAC material 5) remove any remaining dross/alloy i

I think it is a good idea to "waste" money on this analysis. Especially if you phase in a SAC wave alloy. Silver is not toxicity free....and lead free waves can dross 3 to 5 times faster than SnPb alloys. This produces a greater potential for airb

Hey Dave: At our facility, we use those masks that filter out particulates. Our safety department requires all wave operators, maintenance, and even wave process engr's (like me) to have these masks checked every 6 months for proper gasketing, filte
