A device that can reclaim and recycle at least fifty percent of usable solder alloy from wave solder dross is now available from Amistar Automation.

Light-weight, portable, and easy to use, the Amistar Automation Soldabac Solder Recovery System takes dross created by wave solder machines and heats it inside the unit’s eighteen pound solder pot to separate the oxide. The reclaimed solder is then drained into an ingot mold and ready for immediate reuse. With the Amistar Automation Soldabac Solder Recovery System, removing dross from the solder bath is quicker and easier, storage and waste disposal costs are reduced, and solder purchases are cut in half.

Not only is this process time-saving and cost-effective, it also results in a net waste reduction and helps companies that are seeking to gain or maintain ISO 14001 certification.
