AUTOMATED BELL JAR AND QUARTZ PARTS CLEANER

The Thermco Bell Jar Cleaner is specially designed to accommodate large bell jars used on CSD Epitaxy products with an Etch basin to clean auxiliary chamber parts making efficient use of etch chemicals. It is simple to use with its ergonomic design and user-friendly touchscreen interface.

The quartz components of the EpiPro are loaded and unloaded via double doors at the front of the cleaning chamber. The bell jar is manually placed inside the chamber using a lifting trolley. The smaller profile quartz components are loaded into the weir bath beneath the Bell Jar shelf.

The Bell Jar Cleaner is easily maintained from the front and side, with options available for door placement at the rear if preferred.
