Dust Control for Food & Baverage Packaging and Weighing

Wafer Slicing

The wafer slicing process in the photovoltaic industry involves cutting silicon ingots into thin wafers using diamond wire saws, followed by cleaning and etching to remove any particulate matter and smooth the surfaces. This step is critical for ensuring the high quality and efficiency of the solar cells produced.

Solutions

Effective dust control during this process is essential to maintain the cleanliness of the wafers, reduce equipment wear, and protect worker health. Techniques such as using enclosures and ventilation systems, wet cutting methods, air filtration, and regular cleaning help in mitigating dust generation and accumulation. These measures ensure a safer working environment and improve the overall efficiency and durability of the photovoltaic manufacturing process​.
