I am seeking a way to Unsolder an entire board and be able to remove the capacitors and resistors as fast as possible. Do they make a machine that does this? or does anyone have any pointers on how to do this?
What i have is a box of boards that i want to recycle and take the capacitors and components off to recycle
Please either reply here
Thankyou!

I don't think you will be able to find any such machine, you have to do it by hand but don't consider all the components useful, especially the electrolytic capacitors that are used and aged.
I am going to melt the capacitors down for the tantalum, and the other components accordingly so i honestly dont care if they are damaged in the process
Then a hot air gun should do the jog, not the ones for desolating (there is no reason to buy them for this) but the cheap ones for paint and heat shrinks but you still have to pull the components, they are not going to drop down by heat only.
