Christopher Associates introduces the KDS-101 bench-top solder dross recovery system from Koki Tec Corporation (Saitama, Japan). According to the company the KDS-101 offers a safe, simple and inexpensive method to recover purified solder from dross in all soldering operations, but especially in PCB fabrication and assembly. With RoHS requirements pressing for improved efficiencies, materials costs at historic highs and the demand by end users to reduce manufacturing costs, dross recovery helps reduce materials usage and improve the economics of the process. Recovered solder can be immediately reused and dross disposed of more efficiently.
