Hey Ruben-

        I don't know how much you are payiong for your wave-solder pallets, but do
you think it might be cheaper to buy several more pallets and put them into
the rotation.  This would give them time to cool to ambient (or near it)
before they are needed again.  I am sure it would depend on how fast your
line is running and how many pallets you would need.  "rolling
conveyors" just sounds expensive to me.
