Wenesco's Standard and Custom-built Wave Solder Pots
Selective wave soldering pots. Nitrogen inerted solder pots: stand alone or for integration into automated systems. Wave solder pots for continuous wire coating.
Example of how it works:
"The operator first places the assembly on the fluxer and presses a foot pedal. A timer controls the flux flow to about one second. The assembly is now placed on the wave solder pot fixture and another foot pedal is activated. A timer controls the solder flow to about two seconds.
The cycle is now complete and the assembly is removed."
Model M3 or M5 wave solder pot includes a remote digital thermostat and full control of solder wave flow in two modes (idle and full). The solder pump is easily pulled from the pot for convenient cleaning and service. This model is shown fully nitrogen-inerted, and ceramic-coated for lead- free soldering. A solder flow timer and solder drain valve is optional. Temperature is controlled up to 350C (662F)
Any Wenesco wave solder pot can be retrofitted to operate with nitrogen gas, as a cover, to eliminate the formation of dross (oxide). This feature is especially desirable when the pot is used in automatic high production applications

The slide rails will accommodate a PCB up to 10 x 24 inches.
Other options include: nitrogen inerting and lead-free operation
Model M6 shown here with 2 x 6 inch nozzle and footswitch. Note the nozzle is located 90 degrees from the pump Temperature is controlled with a digital thermostat up to 350C (662F).
Model M14 Wave Solder Pot shown with 10"x 3" wave nozzle and a solder level switch that controls an automatic solder feeder. This equipment will be used in an automatic machine for soldering 3 connectors in one cycle. THis wave solder pot is rated for operation up to 350C.
Special solder nozzles shown installed in model M5, for soldering leads to pins on bobbins, while the center plastic post is prevented from coming in contact with molten solder.
In this instance, the twin nozzles are positioned for use with a fixtured turntable to solder two bobbins in one dipping cycle.(Note: the green liquid was used in place of molten solder to better illustrate the application.)

Custom-built Wave Solder Pots
Wenesco has over 40 years of experience developing wave solder pots for special applications, including replacement of equipment made by others, which is no longer available, such as Dee, Hollis, Treiber, New Age..
Our scope includes:
Selective soldering pots
Dual wave solder pots. Wave pots for lead free soldering
Inerted solder pots
High temperature wave solder pots
Model M3L Low Profile Wave Solder Pot is designed for use with automatic soldering systems, which require minimal vertical obstruction. Temperature is controlled with a remote (3 ft) digital thermostat. Continuous wave control is standard and is actuated with a switch closure.
Model M3L is available with or without temperature and wave control. Max temperature is 350C (652F)
All controls are mounted in a remote cabinet, as shown. Nozzles are available with a maximum solder surface of 3 square inches.
Model M3L is available nitrogen inerted and may be ceramic coated for lead free operation.
Please see chart below for dimensions of Model M3L
Model M3M Miniature Wave Solder Pot is 30% smaller than Model M3 and is designed for automatic soldering systems with limited space available for soldering.
Nozzles are available with a maximum solder surface of 1.5 square inches.

Custom Wire Tinner
This Wave Solder Pot was developed to continuously apply tin to wire as it is fed from the payout reel.
The wire passes through the solder nozzle, which is near the wall of the solder tank. The nozzle is notched so the wire is fully immersed into the flowing solder. This pot is equipped with eye hooks to facilitate removal of the entire pump/nozzle assembly.
Solder temperature and flow controls are in a 3-ft remote control box. A digital thermostat is used for temperature control.
About the sketch This illustrates a dual wave solder pot with a chip wave and a Hollis smooth wave. The smooth wave is also available configured as a mono- directional Lambda wave The chip wave has a removable baffle, which may be changed over to a different pattern. The variable speed pump motors are individually controlled.
Solder temperature is controlled with a digital thermostat, which also includes a pump protection circuit that will not allow the pump to operate unless the solder temperature is high enough for safe operation. Set point and current temperature are digitally displayed in C or F.
Heating elements are mounted to the liner (crucible), out of the solder, for convenient service. A solder drain valve is optional
All pots are ready to operate.
Options include
solder level in pot
Note: Lead-free solder and lead-free babbitt will destroy conventional melting pot crucibles (liners), pumps, etc. Wenesco can treat these parts to prevent this corrosive problem. Click HERE for details.
