The original Solder Saver has been improved upon with the addition of 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 handheld, lightweight Solder saver scoops hot dross up from the surface of the wave solder pot, the dross oxides are then separated from the solder by the Solder saver’s 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.
