SelectaFlux Retrofit for Brazing/Welding
Ideal for spraying brazing and welding fluxes on targeted areas for applications such as fittings, fins, baffles, pipe joints, radiators, heat exchangers, oil coolers, evaporators and condensers. Replaces wasteful paste, dip and pressure spray processes with non-clogging ultrasonic spray. Provides excellent uniform flux coverage while eliminating clogging. Compatible with selected zinc/aluminum suspensions, flux solutions, Paint-F-Flux and some qualified Nocolok suspended fluxes used in brazing/welding.

Operating Principle
The SelectaFlux Brazing/Welding is a complete, ready-to-integrate selective fluxing system. It combines Sono-Tek’s unique Microspray ultrasonic atomizing nozzle with low-pressure air to produce a controlled, diverging beam of spray. A separate control module handles input/output system functions,making it easy to retrofit onto existing lines.
The ultrasonic vibrations not only produce repeatable atomization of the flux but also prevent any solids buildup within the nozzle or at the tip. Compressed air, typically at 1 psi, is introduced into the diffusion chamber of the air shroud, which produces a uniformly distributed flow of air around the nozzle stem.
The ultrasonically produced spray at the tip of the stem is immediately entrained in the air stream.An adjustable focusing mechanism on the air shroud allows complete control of spray width.
The spray envelope is bow-shaped. The width of the bow is controlled by moving the focus-adjust mechanism in and out. The distance between nozzle and substrate can be varied from near-contact to approximately two inches.
