Wenesco Foam & Wave Fluxers + Flux Stones
Models C79-1, C79-2, C79-4, to C79-24
Wenesco’s Foam Fluxers are widely used to apply flux to circuit boards prior to wave soldering. They’re renowned for generating a smooth, even foam head across the length of the foam nozzle.
We manufacture them out of stainless steel with plastic fittings and diffuser to resist virtually all foaming fluxes.
Wenesco Wave Fluxers are usually used in automated soldering applications where a closely defined flux pattern is required.
Our fluxers feature a stainless steel pot, variable wave control, and flux drain valve. Flux nozzles are easily changed to support the part to be fluxed. Flux flow may be constantly on or for a timed duration.
Flux Stones are made from micro-porous plastic tubing. When pressurized, they create a foam “head” composed of tiny air bubbles. Replacement stones for existing foam fluxers are cut to size and fittings are attached. Please call for a quote.
All include a pressure regulator, pressure gauge, flow control valve, 4-foot input hose, and drain tube. Compressed air at 10 psi is required for operation. (Other sizes made to order)
