Handheld solder saver
27 January 2016
Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
A new and improved version of the Solder Saver, for use with leaded and lead-free wave soldering machines, is now available. Design changes include a separate activation switch, enabling the user to hold the system in one hand and activate it with the other; and an adjustable handle for the sometimes awkward to reach solder pots in wave soldering machines.
The unit gives companies the opportunity to rapidly recycle dross created in the wave solder pot, thereby saving up to 50% in new solder bar purchases. The handheld, lightweight Solder Saver scoops hot dross up from the surface of the wave solder pot, following which dross oxides are swiftly separated from the solder by a high-speed rotary process system.
The Solder Saver works on a continuous process basis, meaning no lengthy and costly operator delays while the recycling operation takes place. Typically the complete process is as fast as any conventional de-drossing operation, but with the added advantage of reduced handling of toxic and weighty materials.
