Bricking - Leading in production cost & productivity

The new BrickMaster is a diamond wire based solar silicon bricking unit. The BrickMaster offers market proven wire saw technology including new concepts. With a unique extractable cutting unit the customers profit from a faster changeover time and maximum production capacity. Diamond wire technology guarantees an output increase up to 100 % compared to slurry based brick cutting.

• Total cost of Ownership up to 25 % lower than slurry bricking
• Market leading production capacity - 120 MW per year
• Up to 100 % increased output compared to slurry based bricking (DW up to 150 bricks/day vs. slurry 80 bricks/day)
• Maximum machine uptime 95 % and serviceability
• 50 % reduced initial investment cost

Modular concept - maximum machine uptime

The BrickMaster features an extractable cutting unit, optimizing the production process. Preventive maintenance and replacement of wear parts is done parallel to the cutting process and guarantees a maximum uptime of the machine and a minimum operational downtime between cuts. Lowest cost of ownership (CoO) and maximum capacitiy are the result.

Diamond wire from Diamond Technologies Inc.

The BrickMaster cuts solar silicon ingots with wire of the market leader in diamond wire solutions, Diamond Technologies Inc. As members of Meyer Burger Technology Group Diamond Wire Technologies Inc. and Meyer Burger Ltd. develop together diamond wire processes for solar wafering. The result of this unique co-operation in PV business is besides market leading output, a high surface quality, high accuracy of brick geometry and stable processes. The newly joined forces are leading in technology and guarantee improvements of core competencies in solar wafering.
