Jan,

I can't answer you for the first question.
For the second question, (even though I don't have the same
wavesoldering machine as you have) it is obvious to me  that the
solder pot needs some serious maintenance and good
cleaning.

When a heavy layer of dross gets build-up in the pot, the pump
action of motor pulls down bits of dross under molten solder and
pumps up thru wave nozzles.  Crusty layers of dross build up on
solder pot steel  walls, and restrict or block solder flow.  The
pumping mechanical action grinds dross into fine powder and
push them thru the wave.  The first thing I suggest to do is
remove and clean the pumping mechanism.  If it still causes
dross thru the wave, remove  solder as much as you. And
remove plates and nozzles and give good scrubbings to remove
crusty layers of dross from metal surfaces.
