Advanced engineered solutions that come from decades of experience and innovation in the solar industry.
The value of the solar or photovoltaic industry in the world economy is increasing rapidly due to the growing prevalence and importance of the renewable-energy technologies that are now being used in many markets. In this realm, the Almatec® E-SERIES Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm (AODD) Pumps, which do not feature any metal on their exterior, are especially well suited for use in many of the stages that are inherent in the manufacture, in particular, of silicon solar cells (wafers). Specific areas of application in this market niche that can benefit from using AODD pumps made of abrasion-resistant polyethylene include the pumping of slurries before and after the silicon-sawing process, as well as the chemical treatment of the wafers, especially by deploying pumps constructed of PTFE.
