ECM Greentech offers directional solidification furnaces (DSS) from G1 to G8 available with CrystalMax® technology. Our furnaces design takes into account all the specifications of the PV industry:
- Capability to produce high ingot quality suitable to process high efficiency solar cells
- Optimized production cost due to high silicon feedstock yield
- Fully automatic thermal cycle
- Low maintenance cost, low electrical consumption
- Bottom loaded furnace to simplify and to secure the loading/unloading operations
- Three heating zones for the perfect melting/crystallization thermal control
- Optimized heat extraction for high efficiency processes
- Safety: Optimised design and process control (hardware and software) to take into account possible silica crucible breakage during cycle.
