The Rotadip forms part of a range of "rotary" solder pots that rotate at a fixed or variable speed against a stainless steel blade that 'skims' the solder surface. The dross collects against the face of the stainless steel 'dross blade' which, in turn, is then swept over the side of the profiled solder pot outside diameter and into an annular dross collection tray. A blade fitted to the pot edge collects dross from the annular tray during the pot rotation and sweeps this into a dross collection chute. RotaDips are fully compatible with lead free solders.
A range of different operating temperatures and control accuracies for the solder pot, up to 550 degrees C are available together with a range of different pot diameters up to 304 mm.
In addition to the established fixed speed, a new range of Variable Speed Rotadips is now available allowing various rotation speeds from 0 to 22 rpm to suit a wide range of applications. This feature allows the speed of rotation to be altered to suit the cycle time, when the Rotadips are incorporated as a soldering station as part of a semi or fully automatic machine.
Automatic Solder Wire Feed Units are available for use with Rotadips to control solder levels.

This system provides for very accurate dipping depths of the components and is known as our
Low Cost Dipping Station.
Where output requirements demand the use of semi automatic dipping systems Solbraze manufacture a range of rotary indexing
Soldip and Autodip linear machines all complete with fluxing and dip soldering stations as well as pre-heat when required.
Single dipping stations for low/medium volume dip soldering requiring accuracy of dipping parameters are also available and can also be used as
Solderability Testers.
Fume Extraction units for use with the soldering irons, solder pots and dip soldering units described above are also available with air purification factors of up to 99.997%.
