PV MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT
Find machinery by production stage and the requirements of your line.
In tube-type plasma deposition, the graphite boat carries the wafers through the furnace and also acts as the electrode, so its geometry and surface condition shape how evenly the film grows. Wafers reach this step after texturing and diffusion, are loaded into the boat by cell material handling automation, and leave for metallization. All of this sits within cell production.
Because boats rotate between loading, processing, cooling and unloading, a line needs more boats than furnace tubes. They also collect deposited film and need periodic cleaning, so plan spare boats and a reconditioning routine into the order.
The TOPCon and BC graphite boat configurations from Honsin New Materials (Ningbo) come as two families, one for each cell route. Honsin's load table gives several wafer counts per boat, while furnace model, cycle time and hourly output depend on your own line. Start from the furnace you already run or plan to buy, then choose the boat that fits it, instead of choosing a boat and adapting the furnace.
Graphite is one of several process materials around the furnaces. Process quartz parts cover tubes and quartz carriers, process ceramic parts cover insulating pieces, while custom precision components cover parts machined to your drawing. Graphite also appears in puller hot zones under crystal growth components, which is a different duty with different requirements. If you want to understand how a boat maker controls its raw material, the classes for graphite purification equipment and component coating furnaces show the upstream steps involved.
Read the guide on cell technology compatibility before choosing between the TOPCon and BC families. Fix the wafer format and the boat drawing, confirm the tool interface and which accessories come with each boat, and agree how boats are cleaned and how often. Then ask Honsin to confirm the material, geometry and loaded-run acceptance in writing, and run a loaded trial in your own furnace before committing to a full set. The guide on equipment trials, FAT and SAT helps you write that trial into the order, and comparing breakage rate, cycle time and throughput shows how to judge wafer damage during loading and unloading.
Identify the production step, cell or module format and output unit before comparing equipment. Use the listed source, scope and specifications to prepare a configuration-specific enquiry. Missing values are left unspecified and do not count as exact filter matches.
Honsin builds graphite boats for PV cell lines in two families, TOPCon and BC. The brochure gives six wafer-load options per wafer label, from 384 to 1692 wafers per boat. Choose by wafer format and furnace drawing, then agree the graphite grade, the pins and parts included and a loaded trial.
