Hi Steve, We have had a 6622cc since 2002. There are very specific steps to follow when filling an empty pot. The solder pot elements can be switched to 50% output power to avoid over heating the solder pot walls. This must be done when The solder is not in complete contact with the solder pot lining.

Does anybody know what the solder pot capacity is of a Vitronics/Soltec 6622CC wave solder machine is with tin/lead solder in it? The reason I’m asking is because my new employer bought a used –6622 and needs to know how much solder they should buy to be able to fill the pot. They have an old electrovert now that has a 500-lb pot that we’ll be using, and I told him that wouldn’t be enough to fill the Vitronics machine. I’m thinking the 6622 holds around 1,600 –1,800 lbs., but I’m not sure...
