Dross separator
In June 2013, Manncorp launched the Separo solder recovery system, which allows companies to quickly and easily recover valuable solder in-house, ensuring significant cost savings. With the Separo solder recovery system, a shift’s worth of wave solder dross can be turned into usable solder ingots in under an hour. Separo works with either lead-free or SnPb alloys and is capable of treating 4-5 kg (9-11 lbs) of hot or room-temperature dross per cycle. Taking advantage of the different specific gravities of the materials in the dross amalgam, the heavier solder alloy settles at the bottom of the heated crucible while the lighter dross oxides rise to the top and are captured in Separo’s specialised filter. After 30-40 minutes, molten solder is transferred to the five ingot moulds below the crucible. No chemical additives are required, ensuring that the reclaimed alloy is 100 per cent usable.
