Solder Paste Storage

Safe storage of Solder Paste

It is very important to safely store solder paste before using it in production. When solder paste is exposed to heating, freezing or moisture, it reduces its performance and lifetime. Therefore Totech developed a storage solution especially for solder paste cartridges and jars. The XSDC FIFO Module & Jar shelves fit in both the XSDC 601-01 and XSDC 601-05. They are made to protect the solder paste from a moist environment and keeps them in a controlled environment between 0-12ºC. It stores the cartridges and jars in a FIFO manner, to make sure you use the right solder paste at first. Both hardware solutions can be expended with an additional software suite in the Totech Storage Manager. With the solder paste software module you will be able to track and trace the solder paste through a complete cycle of storage, tempering and production.

FIFO module

The FIFO module is designed to store solder paste cartridges, tip-down. The flexible module can hold both small and big cartridges and even solder paste jars. With a turning spring, you can spin the module and fill the cartridges or jars into the sliding trays from the back. After filling it, you turn it back again and it’s locked in position, creating your FIFO storage process. The combination of big & small cartridges can hold up to 105 pieces, if you fill the module with just small cartridges it can hold up to 175 pieces or the module can hold 180 jars.

Jars shelves

The jars shelve you fill from the top, just as with the cartridges module a sliding tray is in place, which slides the jars to the front. Making the oldest solder paste available as first. Each shelve has six separated sliding tracks, each shelve can hold up to 42 jars. A total of 3 shelves can go into the cabinet, having room for 126 jars into the cabinet.
