Now available from Gen3 Systems is a new and improved solder saver designed by Aprotec Instrumentation. For use with leaded and lead-free wave soldering machines, the system’s separate activation switch enables the user to hold it in one hand and activate it with the other.
It also has an adjustable handle for the sometimes awkward to reach solder pots in wave soldering machines.
The solder saver offers companies performing wave soldering the opportunity to rapidly recycle dross created in the wave solder pot, saving up to 50% in new solder bar purchases in the process. The handheld, lightweight device scoops hot dross up from the surface of the wave solder pot; dross oxides are swiftly separated from the solder by a high-speed rotary process system.
The unit 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.
