EVS International, the leader in solder recovery, is pleased to announce its participation in SMTA International 2025, taking place October 21–23 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. EVS will exhibit in Booth #2419, where the company will highlight the EVS 18KLFHS Solder Recovery System, engineered to redefine efficiency, sustainability, and cost savings in modern electronics manufacturing.
The EVS 18KLFHS is a cutting-edge solder recovery system designed for high-demand production environments, offering a revolutionary fully sealed cabinet design that securely contains the dross bucket and fume extraction system. This not only improves safety and cleanliness on the shop floor but also ensures cleaner air, reduced operator exposure, and a more environmentally conscious solder recycling process.
At the heart of the system is a Tilting Pot Mechanism that eliminates the need for bulky twin opposed air rams and doors. This streamlined approach simplifies maintenance and enhances productivity while reducing the machine’s physical footprint. A patented hot air-activated auto drain tap works in concert with the rotating solder pot to recover up to 80% of pure solder from dross, delivering clean ingot bars and minimizing material waste.
Designed with performance in mind, the EVS 18KLFHS features a large 18-kilogram (40 lbs) pot, allowing operators to recover more solder per cycle and achieve faster throughput. The system supports availability rates of over 90%, and its intuitive design results in lower maintenance demands—all contributing to a rapid return on investment (ROI).
“The EVS 18KLFHS is the result of listening to our customers’ needs,” said Simon Norman, General Manager at EVS International. “It helps manufacturers cut costs, reduce waste, and streamline their processes without sacrificing reliability or safety. Whether you’re running a small job shop or a high-volume SMT line, the 18KLFHS is built to perform.”
Available in a lead-free configuration, the EVS 18KLFHS is perfectly suited for wave and selective solder machine users. By reducing dedrossing time by up to 75%, the system significantly cuts downtime, enabling facilities to maintain peak performance while advancing their sustainability goals.
Visit EVS International in Booth 2419 at SMTA International 2025 to see the EVS 18KLFHS in action and learn how this powerful solution can transform your solder recovery process.
