Abstract
When a printed board is soldered by a dipping method, a great deal of dross is generated on a jet solder tank. The dross is a mixture of melted solder and oxide. A worker takes out the dross from the jet solder tank, and throws it away. Thus, a large amount of the solder is consumed. The present invention relates to a separating device for separating oxide and solder from dross. A container ( ) is provided with a heater ( ). A cover ( ) is set over the container ( ) to be freely attachable or detachable, and further a non-oxidizing gas supplying opening ( ) is made in the cover ( ) or the container ( ). A stirring spatula ( ) for stirring the surface of a melted solder ( ) put into the container ( ) is set near the surface of the melted solder ( ).
