Abstract
This invention relates to for devices, systems, and methods for separating dross, carried by molten solder, into solder and residue.
Claims19
A dross separation system comprising:
- a vessel configured to receive and contain molten solder;
- and
- a gas injection circuit arranged to inject a gas into molten solder disposed within the vessel.
A wave soldering system comprising:
- a separating vessel configured to receive and support molten solder;
- a gas injection circuit arranged to inject a gas into molten solder disposed within the separating vessel;
- a soldering vessel;
- an inlet configured to deliver a flow of molten solder from the soldering vessel to the separating vessel for removal of dross from the molten solder;
- and
- an outlet configured to deliver a flow of molten solder from the separating vessel to the soldering vessel.
3 more elements
