Asia Silicon Industry has successfully completed the vacuum dust collection system for silicon powder on the surface of the reduction furnace platform! This is indeed an important progress worthy of recognition. The construction and commissioning of this system have multiple positive significance for improving production safety, efficiency and product quality:
Improving production safety:
Reducing the risk of dust explosion: Polysilicon powder (silicon powder) is flammable, and may explode when it reaches a certain concentration in the air and encounters an ignition source. The vacuum dust collection system can effectively and timely remove the silicon powder deposited on the surface of the reduction furnace platform, significantly reducing the dust concentration in the working area, thus greatly reducing the risk of dust explosion.
Reducing harm to personnel health: Inhaling silicon powder is harmful to workers' respiratory systems. An efficient dust collection system can improve the air quality in the working environment and protect the occupational health of operators.
Reducing the risk of slipping: Scattered silicon powder may make the ground slippery, increasing the risk of personnel slipping and falling. Timely cleaning can improve the on-site safety situation.
Improving production efficiency:
Shortening maintenance time: In the past, cleaning silicon powder on the reduction furnace chassis often required manual or semi-mechanical operation, which took a long time and needed to stop the furnace or enter confined spaces (high risk). The vacuum dust collection system can realize online or rapid offline cleaning, which greatly shortens the cleaning time, reduces equipment downtime, and improves the operation efficiency and production continuity of the reduction furnace.
Improving the degree of automation: The vacuum dust collection system is usually automatic or semi-automatic, reducing the labor intensity and time required for manual cleaning.
Ensuring product quality:
Reducing the risk of pollution: If the scattered silicon powder is not cleaned in time, it is easy to drift during subsequent operations (such as replacing silicon rods, in-furnace maintenance, furnace loading and unloading), which may pollute newly produced polysilicon rods or the clean environment in the furnace. Timely suction of silicon powder helps to maintain the cleanliness of the furnace area and reduce the possibility of product contamination.
Improving the on-site environment:
Effectively controlling the escape of silicon powder, making the production workshop more neat and orderly, in line with the 6S (or 5S) management requirements of modern factories.
Meeting environmental protection requirements:
The effective collection and treatment of dust helps enterprises meet increasingly strict environmental protection emission standards and occupational health standards.
