High Reliability Solder Pump

Challenge:
Wave soldering machines experienced constant pump failures due to extreme heat, bearing contamination, and insulation degradation, requiring pump replacements almost weekly.

Solution:
Reengineered the solder pump with upgraded thermal isolation, dual Teflon dust seals, thicker bearings, titanium fasteners, and a protective stainless-steel cable sheath.

Result:
No reported failures since upgrade deployment, eliminating costly downtime and inventory turnover of replacement pumps.
