Abstract
A solder dross recovery module has gears and a waste collection chamber positioned within a solder pot. The gears are configured to draw in solder dross from a surface of molten solder stored in the solder pot. The gears apply pressure to the solder dross so as to separate solder from the solder dross. The recovered solder is returned to the molten solder in the solder pot. A resulting waste material is collected in the waste collection chamber.
