PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
TheAoyueSP2000solderpotisahighlydurablegeneralpurpose
industrialsolderpotspeciallymadeforleadfreeapplications.
Ithasapatentedenvironmentfriendlydesignthatefficientlyfilter
solderfumeswhileminimizingunwantedresidue.
Itsceramiccrucibleismadeofhighlydurablematerialthatiswell
suitedforleadfreeprocesses.Whileatthesametimedecreasesresi
dueduetoitsnonmetalliccomposition.
The poisonous fumes generated during the soldering are quickly
exhaustandfilteredawaythussignificantlyreducingbyproductsofthe
solderingprocess.
A microprocessor controlled heater ensures precise temperature
