EVS International, the leader in solder recovery, will debut the new EVS 500LF lead-free version in Booth #3521 at the IPC APEX EXPO, scheduled to take place Feb. 24-26, 2015 at the San Diego Convention Center in California. With the new EVS 500LF, EVS has managed to drastically reduce the size, weight, complication and footprint, while creating a greener lead-free system.
EVS has continually improved the performance of the EVS units and the new EVS 500LF is no exception. EVS is running at record recovery rates on its beta test production facilities with experienced users of the current range being pleasantly surprised by the improvements in recovery rates. With the new concept of improved performance plus the significant reduction in price enabling everyone to enjoy the savings an EVS solder recovery system can offer.
The EVS 500LF has been designed to be the same size as a printer and is aimed at multiple markets. The customer with one lead wave and one lead-free wave, the customer who uses Nitrogen or wants to reduce their Nitrogen usage, the customer with selective solder pots who only removes small amounts of dross every hour or the customer with multiple waves where one EVS 500LF is connected to each wave to ensure that the maximum recovery is maintained throughout the life of the wave solder system. Users can quickly recover up to 80 percent of pure solder with a higher ROI from the waste dross.
The simple but ruggedly designed unit is highly ISO14001 compatible as it lives by the ISO mantra of reduce – reuse – recycle, enabling the customer to reduce solder consumption by up to 50+ percent, an unheard of reduction in the electronics production industry. The EVS 500 also can help to reduce dedrossing time by 75 percent and waste dross off-site by up to 85 percent. The system meshes perfectly with environmental control systems and also helps to reduce customers’ carbon footprint, an important environmental imperative, by utilizing the latent heat already imputed to the dross to help the recovery process.
