Dross Production


Hard to believe, isn’t it.

Over time, an average of only 25% of the solder you buy is used for production, with the remaining 75% being created in dross.

This is where the EVS Solder Recovery Systems can save you large amounts of money each month just by recovering YOUR own solder from your dross. The EVS Machines do not recycle your solder, they RECOVER your own solder from your dross.


If you remove 10kg/22lbs of dross from your wave, you have to put 10kg/22lbs of new solder bars into the solder put to keep the levels topped up.

You then sell the 10kg/22lbs of dross to your solder supplier or recycler for a fraction of its real value.

Using the EVS Solder Recovery System in your dedrossing process can save you on your monthly solder purchases.

If you remove 10kg/22lbs of dross from your wave, you put this into the EVS System. The EVS will give you back (on average) 75% of solder from your dross, equating to 7.5kg/16.6lbs of solder.

You would then only need to add 2.5kg/5.5lbs of new solder to the wave, therefore the EVS can save you 7.5kg/16.6lbs worth of solder that you now don’t have to buy or budget for.

The cost of solder is at an all time high- by using the EVS Systems, you will be able to make massive savings on your solder purchases.


Don’t sell your dross to your solder supplier or recycler for a fraction of its real value.

Store your dross, recover your own solder with an EVS Solder Recovery System and

take back control!
