Solder pots or soldering pots are portable and primarily used in applications for melting solder, dipping small circuit boards, pre-tinning small electrical parts, re-tinning soldering iron tips, and tinning the ends of wire leads. Solder pots can be extremely useful when a consistent temperature is required. Although these are very useful systems, it is imperative that the safety aspect of solder pots are evaluated closely. Apart from the molten solder inside these systems, there are some other safety concerns that need closely examined. It is essential that these systems are utilized in a well ventilated area. Further, the use of a source capture fume extractor should be present to protect employees from harmful particulates and fumes. The fumes and particulate can be present the entire time the solder pot is in operation. The smoke from melting solder has been associated with many medical conditions ranging from colophony to lead poisoning. In addition, it has been reported that chronic respiratory diseases can emerge without the use of an air filtration system when employees are exposed to a solder pot.


Sentry Air Systems developed the Model 100 Solder Pot Sentry to help remove hazardous fumes and particulate from solder pots. The Solder Pot Sentry utilizes a HEPA filter which is up to 99.97% efficient on particles .3 microns and larger. This unit sits on an adjustable steel stand behind the solder pot, and provides a negative pressure over the solder pot in use. The air is sucked in, purified and exhausted back into the working area. Not only is this system efficient as it recycles the clean air back in to the room, it also provides optimal protection for the operators and those in the vicinity of the solder pot.

Portable Clean Room Hood (SS-330-PCR)

Product Spotlight: SS-330-PCR Positive Pressure-Laminar Flow Portable Clean Room Hood

http://www.sentryair.com/specs/40in%20Positive%20Pressure%20Hood.htm

The Portable Clean Room (SS-340-PCR) is a compact positive pressure system designed to provide exceptionally clean laminar airflow inside the hood. The cabinet has been tested as an ISO Class 100 clean room. The system utilizes a dual stage filtration process which consists of a MERV8 pre-filter and a HEPA filter. The HEPA filter has an efficiency rating up to 99.97% efficient on particles .3 micrometers and larger. For applications requiring a higher efficiency an ULPA filter is available. The ULPA has an efficiency rating of up to 99.9995% at .12 micrometers. Typical uses for the hood include electronics assembly, medical preparation, sterile compounding, and various other applications that require a sterile environment.

These hoods are designed to be cost saving. Traditionally, companies that desired a clean sterile space would have to convert an entire room into a HEPA filtered positive pressure area. In many cases, only a small amount of space would be sufficient for their given application. These companies end up spending tens of thousands of dollars and take up excess room. The SS-340-PCR (Positive Pressure clean room) is a compact solution measuring 40”W x 24”D x 24”H (I.D). This system will save money and space. In addition, because the system is portable you have the flexibility to move the system if required.

The hoods are exclusively built by Sentry Air Systems and go through a stringent quality assurance process prior to be shipped. Each hood is tested with a laser particle scanner to ensure that it meets the stringent requirements set by Sentry Air. To date, there has never been a report of faulty workmanship on a Sentry Air Systems positive pressure laminar flow hood.
