EVS International, the leader in solder recovery, will showcase the new EVS 500LF lead-free version and EVS 8KLFHS in the Sono-Tek booth (#2700) at the 2017 IPC APEX Expo, scheduled to take place Feb. 14–16, 2017 at the San Diego Convention Center in California.
The simple yet ruggedly designed EVS 500LF is highly compatible with ISO14001, as it complies with the ISO mantra of Reduce – Reuse – Recycle. The system enables the customer to reduce solder consumption by up to 50+ percent, an unheard of reduction in the electronics production industry.
The EVS 500 also can help to reduce de-drossing time by 75 percent and waste dross off-site by up to 85 percent. The system meshes perfectly with environmental control systems and helps to reduce customers’ carbon footprint, an important environmental imperative, by utilizing the latent heat already imputed to the dross to help the recovery process.
The EVS 8KLFHS offers a capacity of 6 kg/12 lbs. Its integrated hopper makes the rapid transfer of dross simpler and safer, and speeds de-drossing time by up to 75 percent. 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.
