EVS Introduces New Large Pot Solder Recovery System with Sealed Cabinet
January 13, 2021 | EVS InternationalEstimated reading time: 1 minute
EVS International, the leader in solder recovery, introduces the new EVS18KLF solder recovery system. The EVS 18KLF has a larger 18kilo/40lbs pot, allowing customers to recover more dross and producing a faster ROI. Users can quickly recover up to 80 percent of pure solder with a higher ROI from the waste dross.
EVS has continually improved the performance of the EVS units and the new EVS 18KLF is no exception. The solder recovery system has a touchscreen display, and like all EVS systems, is totally automatic.
EVS’ new patented technology provides a clean ingot bar as it filters the solder through gauze and the recovery rate is very high, achieving up to 80 percent solder from the dross.
The EVS 18KLF features a totally sealed cabinet, enclosing the dross bucket and fume extraction. This area is now totally sealed.
The revolutionary Tilting Pot Mechanism allows engineers to dispense with the space-consuming twin opposed air rams and door. Inverting and rotating dross/solder pot and a novel hot air-activated auto drain tap creates the solder ingots.
The simple but ruggedly designed unit is highly ISO14001 compatible as it lives by the ISO mantra of reduce – reuse – recycle, enabling customers to reduce solder consumption by up to 50+ percent, an unheard of savings in the electronics production industry.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
