Abstract:
1. A soldering apparatus, preferably for soldering items that have been applied a soldering agent, where the soldering apparatus includes at least one soldering zone, where the soldering zone includes means for generating vapour, the apparatus being adapted to heat the items to be soldered to a temperature required for soldering by condensing the vapour, and where the soldering zone includes gates, where the soldering zone contains a protective gas, wherein the soldering zone includes means for shutting off the vapour generating means, wherein the soldering zone includes a vessel to be heated by at least one heating element, wherein the vessel is covered by the means for shutting off, including at least one fixed perforated plate that interacts with at least one displaceable perforated plate which is displaceable by at least one actuator, and wherein the soldering zone is adapted for supplying means for forced condensing of the vapour in the soldering zone at the end of a soldering process.
