"So how are you using an SMT plate to desolder 24/40 pin devices? All at
once?
"

It's not a plate, it's just a very fancy heat gun, with temperature and
air pressure controls. Once you have the temp and pressure dialed in, and
the leads straight, heat the part up and pull it out. The trick is making
sure the leads don't have any bends to catch in the holes.
