SOLDER SEPARATION APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solder separation apparatus by which solder can be separated from used cream solder.

SOLUTION: The solder separation apparatus is equipped with: a melting tank 10 where cream solder, which contains a flux containing a solvent as a main component and solder grains composed of a metallic material, is heated by a heating means so as to obtain a melt 102 of the cream solder and the melt 102 is separated into an upper layer 102a composed of molten flux and a lower layer 102b composed of molten solder by a specific gravity difference between the flux and the solder; a flux transfer tube 60 connected to a prescribed height position of a tank 11 for transferring the molten flux in the upper layer 102a to the outside of the melting tank 10; and a solder transfer tube 70 connected to the bottom of the tank 11 for transferring the molten solder in the lower layer 102b to the outside of the melting tank10. The solder can be separated from the cream solder by the solder separation apparatus with such the configuration.
