EVS 11K & 18K

Lead and Lead-Free Solder Recovery Systems

Introducing the

Latest Additions to the EVS Range

The EVS 11K and 18K systems are the newest EVS range to hit the market, featuring larger capacities and an advanced touch-screen controller to operate the machine. These systems have the capacity for single operation dedrossing of the largest wave soldering machines, even acting as a storage pot for dross until it’s full and ready to run a cycle.

Its large integrated hopper makes the transfer of dross from the wave to the EVS simpler and safer, speeding up dedrossing times by up to 75%. This provides a cleaner wave with less maintenance, less downtime, a reduction in shorts and bridging as well as the potential to discontinue the use of messy and expensive wave oils and/or dross reduction powders.

Some of the Benefits…

+RAPID Return on Investment

With the EVS 11K/18K systems, you will see a return on your investment within months, not years. This is achieved by recovering 60-80%+ of solder from your dross, which in turn reduces your solder purchases by up to 50%. These systems have our largest capacity yet (up to 44lbs/20kg hot dross), being able to process large amounts of dross per cycle. If you have stored dross at your facility, you could process this in the 11K/18K systems and see your ROI improve even further. Use our calculator to see for yourself, or contact EVS for more details tailored to you solder usage.

+Recovers 60-80%+ of Solder from your Dross

Through its patented process, the EVS 11K/18K systems can recover up to 80%+ of solder- check out our latest case studies to see how much we’ve saved some of our customers. With the cost of solder at an all-time high, there is no better time to invest in an EVS system. The solder recovered is always within tolerance to the solder both/pot (please see Solder Quality), so you can put these recovered bars straight into your bath/pot without any risk of contamination. The remaining dross can be sold back to your solder supplier or recycler.

+Self-Contained Process with Integral Safety Features

The EVS Systems operate on an automatic cycle, so the operator doesn’t have to spend valuable time with the machine. Simply load the machine and press the start button and the EVS will take care of the rest. The systems feature multiple safety locks and alerts to ensure the safety of operators, and as the systems run in a self-contained process, no fumes or smells are expelled onto the shopfloor as they are processed through the filtration system in the machine cabinet.

+ISO14001 Compliant

The EVS 11K/18K Systems can help you to gain and retain ISO14001 accreditation. The systems help you to REDUCE your purchase of new solder bars, REUSE your solder by processing it in an EVS which separates and returns it into the tray to give you clean solder bars, and RECYCLE the dross from your wave machine by recovering the solder that would normally be sold back to your solder supplier for a fraction of its real value.

Quality and Service

you can trust

What you put in is what you get out- the EVS systems only process the dross that you put in; no additives are added at any point throughout its cycle. The 11K/18K process produces clean solder bars by filtering the solder before dispensing into the ingot tray. This additional step further contributes to the recovering of your solder from your dross and ensuring that the solder that drains is as clean as possible and looks like a new solder bar- please see Solder Quality for more information.

The EVS team provide extensive support through 24-hour availability of spares and service. The team works closely with each customer, using their comprehensive knowledge to provide prompt support as and when requested.

Upgrade your

production process

The EVS 11K/18K systems are positioned on a moveable cabinet, meaning you can move the EVS System with ease to your wave machine, making dedrossing easier and safer. The EVS machine can then be moved out of the way, plugged in and the cycle started, processing the loaded dross while your operators continue on other duties. The 11K/18K systems will recover solder from your dross, producing bars that are ready to be dropped into your wave machine, or can be stored and used at your convenience. This is a self-efficient process, allowing you to recover solder from your own dross onsite and have your own supply of bars.

The advanced touch-screen controller is a new feature not seen before on any previous EVS system. There are many benefits to this, such as during the operation, it displays each stage of the cycle with an image and words, so your operators know exactly which stage of the cycle the machine is in. The controller also provides prompts during a service, guiding the operator with words and visuals to provide additional information and instruction. This modernises the systems operation, providing ease of control to the operator.
