Pressemitteilung zur sofortigen Veröffentlichung

EVS International stellt zur Productronica 2007 sein kompaktes Lötzinnrecyclingsystem EVS 1000 vor

September 01, 2007 – EVS International, führender Anbieter von Systemen zur Lötzinnaufbereitung, wird auf der kommenden Productronica, die auf dem Münchner Messegelände vom 13. bis 16. November 2007 stattfindet, auf dem Stand A3.544  sein neues Lötzinnrückgewinnungssystem EVS 1000 vorstellen.

Das kompakte System EVS 1000 ist eine kleinere und leichtere Version der bereits eingeführten Systeme EVS 3000/6000. Es weist in allen Punkten die Leistungsfähigkeit sowohl der Standardausführung als auch des Bleifrei-Lötzinnrecyclingsystems auf. Die geringere Größe und der kleinere Platzbedarf helfen, Kosten zu reduzieren. Dabei ist die Kapazität mit 5 kg Lotkrätze (Dross) angegeben, was zu einer raschen Amortisierung der kompakten Anlage beiträgt.

Das System EVS 1000 kann rasch aus Lotkrätze, die als Oxidationsprodukt der Legierung sonst als Sondermüll kostenaufwendig entsorgt werden muß, innerhalb weniger Minuten (und nicht Stunden) reines Lötzinn zurückgewinnen. Dies trägt auch dazu bei, den Wellenlötprozeß qualitativ zu verbessern, denn im Ergebnis wird bei regelmäßig abgeschöpfter Krätze die Welle deutlich sauberer. Dieser Fakt führt zu geringerem Wartungsaufwand bei Wellenlötanlagen, reduzierten Stillstandszeiten sowie weniger Kurzschlüssen und Brückbildungen auf den gelöteten Baugruppen. Zudem ist es durchaus möglich, auf den Einsatz des oft unerwünschten Öls zur Abdeckung des Lots im Tiegels oder von bestimmten Zusätzen zur Minimierung der Krätzebildung völlig zu verzichten.

Das System EV 1000 eignet sich besonders für Anwender mit geringen bis mittleren Mengen von Lotkrätze, die etwa eine bis drei Wellenlötanlagen betreiben und regelmäßig Krätze entfernen müssen bzw. eine Stickstoffabdeckung zur Minimierung der Krätzenbildung einsetzen. Es handelt sich in der Fertigungsindustrie um die größte Gruppe von Anwendern. Mit dem Einsatz des EVS-Systems läßt sich der Einsatz von Stickstoff bei Wellenlötanlagen entweder erheblich reduzieren oder man kann darauf sogar völlig verzichten.

Das kompakte System EVS 1000 erhöht deutlich die Marktabdeckung, die EVS International im Bereich des Lötzinnrecyclings mit seinen Lösungen erreicht. Es ist absehbar, daß damit auch die Durchdringung des Marktes mit solchen Anlagen erheblich erweitert wird.

EVS International wins VISION award for solder recovery systems

Tuesday, 30 January 2007

EVS International has been awarded a SMT VISION Award in the category of Solder Equipment for its innovative EVS 3000 and EVS 6000 solder recovery systems. The crystal glass award will be presented to EVS International during a Monday, February 19, 2007 ceremony that will take place at the Wilshire Grand Hotel in Los Angeles before the start of APEX. The NEW EVS 1000, EVS 3000 and EVS 6000 systems are part of the EVS Series, which represents a quantum leap forward in the processing of solder dross. Its sleek lines confirm its streamlined systems, advanced electronic controls and integrated diagnostics. Extensive feedback from the market has enabled EVS International to offer a machine that satisfies the high standards required from a modern manufacturing environment particularly with regard to reliability, ease of operation, maintenance and environmental management. Offering capacities of 5kg/10lbs (EVS 1000), 10kg/20lbs (EVS 3000) up to 20kg/44lbs (EVS 6000), the new EVS has (in most cases) the facility for single operation dedrossing of even the largest wave soldering machines. Its large integrated hopper makes rapid transfer of dross both simpler and safer, and speeds dedrossing times by up to 50 percent. The process used by the EVS series is unique to EVS International and is protected worldwide by established and pending patents. Simple in concept but revolutionary in its effect, the series breaks new ground in the efficient regeneration of waste in a shop floor environment. The EVS is an enclosed automated system. Hot dross is loaded into the large hopper and sealed into the machine. The process, once started by the operator, recovers the solder into a solder tray in the form of ingots that are easily placed back into the solder pot and deposits the spent dross automatically through a chute to a covered dross bin. Air is extracted via a powerful standalone, four-part filtration system, which ensures that the emitted air is usually cleaner than the surrounding workplace. A Hopper Extraction System is used to prevent the escape of any fumes and dust that may be generated when loading. An automatic air-knife cools the molten solder ingots until they are safe to handle. Premature removal of the ingot tray is prevented by a safety lock. Handling and moving of dross is reduced to a minimum as it is contained within the EVS until it is automatically ejected into the dross bucket. Extensive safety features are built into the machine protecting against misuse and abuse. A variety of switches and sensors are deployed and electrical and electronic circuitry is fuse protected. Maintenance is assisted by prompts from the LCD read out and facilitated by easy access to all working parts of the machine. Routine cleaning can be carried out from a comfortable standing position. The new EVS is designed for simple, one-person operation on the shop floor using existing staff. There are no complex installation procedures, just plug it in to a single-phase supply and a six bar airline and it is ready to go. Once the new EVS has reached operating temperature, hot dross can be loaded and the hopper door shut. After the start button has been pushed, no further operator intervention is required until the solder ingots are removed. The cycle takes six minutes plus cooling time. The new EVS is managed by an advanced microprocessor control system integrated into the cover structure. Its clearly labeled facia includes function buttons, an LCD display and LED indicator lights. Now in its 15th year, the SMT VISION Awards program is an annual celebration of product excellence in electronics surface mount assembly. Premier products based on the finest examples of creative advancement in technology in 22 key areas are chosen by a distinguished panel of industry experts. www.solderrecovery.com Come see the EVS Solder recovery Systems on Sono-Tek’s booth 2758 at Apex in Los Angeles.

Sono-Tek Corporation Milton NY USA Named Exclusive Distributor for EVS International Solder Recovery Systems.. EVS International announces that it has signed an agreement with Sono-Tek (Milton, NY) making Sono-Tek the exclusive distributor of EVS Solder Recovery Systems throughout the U.S. and Canada. EVS Solder Recovery Systems reclaim 75% pure solder from the oxide-laden dross created in the solder pot used in wave-solder processing of printed circuit assemblies. Traditionally, the printed circuit board assembler has always returned the dross to the solder manufacturer. With the EVS Solder Recovery System, the pure solder is reclaimed by the customer and put back directly into the wave solder machine. EVS systems not only offer assemblers the ability to reduce Lead or Lead-Free solder costs dramatically (ROIs of months are not uncommon), but they are also important for promoting good environmental practices (as promulgated in the ISO14001 standard), in that they enable companies to recycle, reduce, and reclaim, the core components of the ISO 14001 standard. CEO and President of Sono-Tek Corporation, Dr. Christopher L. Coccio stated, "The EVS Solder Recovery System is synergistic with our SonoFlux spray fluxing system product line. Both are used in through-hole wave-solder processing. The contacts we deal with at printed circuit board manufacturers that specify spray fluxing equipment, are the same people that will specify EVS Solder Recovery equipment." Vice President of Sales for EVS International, Simon G Norman, commented, "Sono-Tek's unrivalled position in providing ultrasonic spray fluxing systems and their worldwide reputation for service, support and innovation make them a natural partner for the world's leading Solder Recovery System."
