There you go again, Doug. Attempting to corrupt the moral values of engineers everywhere by trying to get them to sell pot. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Douglas Pauls Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 2:29 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Solder pot capacity of Vitronics/Soltec 6622CC Wave solder machine Steve, Let me ask a dumb question - why not just buy a new solder reservoir, save yourself the hassle and labor, and sell the whole pot to a reclaimer? Doug Pauls From: Steve Gregory <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Date: 03/19/2013 12:11 PM Subject: Re: [TN] Solder pot capacity of Vitronics/Soltec 6622CC Wave solder machine Sent by: TechNet <[log in to unmask]> Thanks Ed! I'm learning more & more about this machine as the days tick down, and I haven't even seen it yet. To further complicate matters, I understand that there's a couple of hundred pounds of what maybe be SAC307 in the bottom of the pot, was told that it was analysis was this: 96.17 % Tin, .54 % copper, 3.18 % silver. The machine is intended to be used as a 63/37 machine, and getting that residual solder out is going to be a bear because I understand that the bottom of the pot has what's called a "false bottom" or welded structure inside, so it's going to be tough. I don't think I can leave the solder inside the pot with hopes of adding new solder and it will dilute what's left in the pot down enough for the solder to be within spec, in fact I'm pretty sure it won't, the silver content is especially what worries me. The previous emails from a few days ago about the tin content was with the existing wave that they have, now they have the -6622 coming in with this issue. Going to have my hands full when I get to Boise, that's for sure...

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...
