EVS 8K & 10K

Lead and Lead-Free Solder Recovery Systems

Significantly Reducing

Your Soldering Costs

The EVS 8K and 10K range offers a capacity ranging between 14lbs/6kg to 40lbs/18kg and has the ability for single operation dedrossing of wave soldering machines. Its integrated hopper makes rapid transfer of dross simpler and safer, speeding up dedrossing times by up to 75%.

This provides a cleaner wave with less maintenance, less downtime and a reduction in shorts and bridging, as well as the potential to discontinue the use of messy wave oils and/or dross reduction powders.

+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 cart.

+RAPID Return on Investment

With the 8K/10K systems, you will see a return on your investment within months, not years. This is achieved by recovering 60-70%+ of solder from your dross, which in turn reduces your solder purchases by up to 50%. If you have stored dross at your facility, you could process this in the 8K/10K systems and see your ROI improve further. Use our calculator to see for yourself, or contact EVS for more details tailored to your solder usage.

+Recovers 60-70%+ of Solder from your Dross

Through its patented process, the EVS 8K/10K systems can recover up to 70%+ of solder from your dross. 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 of the solder bath/pot (please see Solder Quality), so you can put these recovered bars straight into your wave without any risk of contamination. The remaining dross can be sold back to your solder supplier or recycler.

+ISO14001 Compliant

The EVS 8K/10K systems can help you 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.

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.

The EVS 8K/10K systems are positioned on a moveable cart, 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 which your operators continue on other duties. The 8K/10K 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.

With features like integrated diagnostics and advanced electronic controls, these systems streamline operations and reduce maintenance. They not only speed up the dedrossing times but also contribute to substantial cost savings and environmental benefits, making them a smart investment for modern manufacturing environments aiming to improve their operational effectiveness and sustainability.
