DEK and Heller Collaborate on Solar Cell Production

DEK Solar and Heller Industries have unveiled the results of a recent collaboration; a drying system that enhances the PV3000 metallization line even further. According to the companies, the alliance between the screen printing and thermal technology specialists has enabled a significant breakthrough in solar cell production, incorporating precise thermal control, improved VOC management and reduced power consumption on a compact footprint.

Commenting on the new addition to the PV3000, DEK’s Alternative Energy Business Manager Darren Brown explains: "Our ongoing collaboration with Heller is a great example of our commitment to working with industry-leaders to deliver our customers the best possible competitive advantage through technology. Equipped with state-of-the-art drying capabilities, the PV3000 achieves this. Not only can we deliver one of the smallest, most compact footprints available today, but we can also deliver a novel approach to VOC management which actually benefits the overall drying process. The resultant reduction in power consumption proves that you can be green in manufacture as well as in end product!”

Heller Industries’ European Sales Manager, Joe Balackyi, adds: "Here at Heller Industries, we’re continually looking to develop and improve our systems for the benefit of our customers. By teaming up with DEK, we’ve been able to offer a breakthrough solution for solar cell producers; cost-efficiency, improved thermal process, increased system uptime, reduced maintenance and lower power consumption are just a few of the benefits the industry can expect from the enhanced PV3000. Plus, both ourselves and DEK have spent years building up a comprehensive global infrastructure; so our customers can count on dedicated support – wherever they are in the world!”
