From ALMATEC Maschinenbau GmbH
The manufacturing of wafers for photovoltaic (PV) solar panels requires a precise process that
puts production equipment to the test. Several of these processes involve highly abrasive
slurries, which are a mixture of glycol and powdered silicon carbide. The challenge is to find
equipment that can handle both wet and dry applications in a corrosive environment.
