New extrusion lines for encapsulation film!


Low shrinkage encapsulation film allows higher process rates


 
Encapsulation film produced on regular extrusion lines has naturally a shrinkage which effects not only the process of laminating but can result in destroyed wafers and therefore creating waste and thus increased production costs.


A low-shrinkage film allows a smooth and fast laminating process. The more shrinkage a film has the more carefully the warm up procedure must be  controlled and could increase the laminating time


With Breyer's new extrusion process the first time it is possible to extrude EVA film at a high speed by keeping the shrinkage low. That ensures not only a more profitable manufacturing of film but also an advantage in the sales of such film.

For the modul manufacturers it means that they can run their laminators more stable and as fast as possible by using low shrinkage film.
They will have the advantage of more troublefree production combined with a more reliable and efficient manufacturing by using low shrinkage film. Notable modul manufacturers are therefore very much interested in getting low shrinkage film.


Since the regular extrusion systems are limited to a certain speed/output, BREYER has developed a profitable system for the production of EVA film and other gluey materials. Beside of the production of low-shrinkage film the system allows on top much higher speed and therefore higher output compared with  typical extrusion systems.


EVA film makers are faced to a higher profitability by using the new technology of Breyer's extrusion line since the output  is much higher.


Cause of the improved properties and performance this EVA film is about to set a complete new standard in the encapsulation film and its procedure during laminating.


End of January 2010 TÜV Rheinland has completed the module test with EVA encapsulation film from Breyer's line with success.
