GTSolar introduces its latest CVD reactor for polycrystalline silicon production – GT Solar International, Inc. is a global supplier that provides polycrystalline silicon production technologies, as well as sapphire and silicon crystal growth systems, for the solar, LED, and other specialized markets. The company announced today the introduction of the SDR?400 next-generation CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) reactor for producing high-purity polysilicon. This SDR400 reactor can produce over 400 metric tons of polysilicon per year. Compared to the company’s previous generation reactor, the SDR300, the new SDR400 also consumes about 20% less electricity per kilogram of polysilicon produced. 3D Net Technology Forum% y( z/ V2 F3 3D Net Technology Forum.

This new power supply will be available as an optional accessory for the standard SDR400 configuration, with the aim of increasing the annual production of polysilicon to over 500 metric tons. Current GTSolar customers using the previous generation of reactors will be able to upgrade their systems to achieve the expected increase in annual production. 3D Network Technology Forum “g2 r7” Regarding GT Solar International, Inc.: 3D, CAD, machinery, technology, automotive industry, Catia, Pro/E, UG, Inventor, SolidEdge, SolidWorks, CAXA, time and space, Zhenjiang & p0 G. y!
