EVS to show the EVSLF lead-free version for solder recovery at SMTAI

The EVS 500LF has been designed to be the same size as a printer and is aimed at multiple markets, such as the customer with one lead wave and one lead-free wave, or the customer who uses Nitrogen or wants to reduce their Nitrogen usage. The system is even designed for the customer with selective solder pots who only removes small amounts of dross every hour, or the customer with multiple waves where one EVS 500LF is connected to each wave to ensure that the maximum recovery is maintained throughout the life of the wave solder system. Users can quickly recover up to 80% of pure solder with a higher ROI from the waste dross.

The simple but ruggedly designed unit is highly ISO14001 compatible as it complies with the ISO mantra of reduce – reuse – recycle, enabling the customer to reduce solder consumption by up to 50%, unheard of reduction in the electronics production industry. The EVS 500 also can help to reduce dedrossing time by 75% and waste dross off-site by up to 85%. The system meshes perfectly with environmental control systems and also helps to reduce customers’ carbon footprint, an important environmental imperative, by utilising the latent heat already imputed to the dross to help the recovery process.
