Drying furnace

For drying of solar cell metallization paste centrotherm photovoltaics provides drying furnaces targeted for high volume production. Key features of centrotherm drying furnaces include high throughput and uptime, powerful drying capabilities, modular build-up. Air flows used for drying can be adjusted module-by-module precisely, which allows excellent drying process setup and control.
Our drying furnace comes with a powerful wafer cooling stage. Cooling is achieved by closed loop air flows and air to cooling water heat exchangers. This yields processed wafer delivery with nearly ambient temperature.
Optionally, the furnaces are available with exhaust condensers for exhaust gas cleaning.
