A line of solder pots designed specifically for use with most lead-free solder alloys used for dip soldering and pre-tinning applications is available from American Beauty Soldering Tools.
The industrial solder pots for use with RoHS compliant lead-free solders feature grey cast iron crucibles that are highly resistive to the solvent powers of tin. Ideally suited for dip soldering and pre-tinning applications, the operating temperature of these pots should be 56 to 83°C above the liquid temperature of the solder alloy and if kept below 427°C will be unaffected by the higher levels of tin found in lead-free solders.
Chemically stable to help keep the solder pure, the pots are offered in sizes of 0,45 and 1,14 kg capacities (320 and 600 W, respectively). Both operate over a 177 to 454°C range with options 220/240 V a.c. power and a stainless steel dross skimmer assembly.
