Pa5r and Mike;

  I have been told here in Brazil that recycled solder dross will not be
returned to solder wave process, but goes to automotive or lamp industries.
The reason is recovered dross didn't achieve the purity level for the alloy
63/37 and then this solder is changed to other alloys ( 60/40, etc ) and is
sold to other aplications with this money a brand new processed alloy is
transfered to you.
  Maybe our process here is not as good as this equipment should be.
  Another question arrives here.
  Do you believe that the solder vendor will accept the dross from the
Solder Recovery System ?

Thanks
