ACTIVATION CDTE LAYER
A complete process environment for semiconductor activation of cadmium-telluride (CdTe) solar cells, this equipment features a twin-muffle design for maximum operational safety.
The gas-tight muffle over the entire active environment ensures no cadmium leaks into your facility. A second inner muffle isolates the insulation and heaters from the process area. This means you can swap heaters in less than hour with no cadmium safety issues, significantly reducing downtime.
Further improving your productivity, the entire system can be set up at your site in just one week. Once in operation, the Elongated Belt Compensator (EBC) reduces the need to stop production to tighten the belt. Furthermore, the energy-saving design and air-cooled exhaust cut your overall cost of ownership.
