Cell production process, the effect of screen printing will directly affect the conversion efficiency of the battery, the printing core is the aspect ratio of the silver paste after printing. Therefore, the screen, silver paste and squeegee must be kept innovative, when the preparation of higher requirements of screen printing
Development of photovoltaic squeegee:Just ten years, the gate line requirements more and more fine, has been from the initial 60um into the current 18um; followed by the squeegee replacement (as shown below), now HANZE LTD-FBA SQUEEGEE is more and more popular!
SPS-AS-SL's core strengths are:
1.1 Electrostatic Dissipation Benefits
During the printing process, squeegee, screen, ink,silicon wafer friction static electricity is easily generated and static electricity accumulates to a certain voltage difference.Can cause silver particles, small particles, flying ink, etc.
1.2 Advantages of cutting type squeegee
The blade is smoother, and the ink on the screen is cleanerSharper edges for finer lines
1.3 After testing, the support plate squeegee saves 8% of the silver paste compared to the traditional squeegee!The traditional squeegee printing process is easily deformed, the stable printing pressure and the printing angle cannot be maintained, and silver wire breaks easily.The operator must increase the printing pressure and reduce the printing angle to reduce the breakage, which will increase the ink consumption.
1.4 High print times
The surface roughness of the bottom of the squeegee is low and the surface area is small, reducing the area of the contact solvent ,solvent corrosion squeegee speed is reduced.Squeegee is not easy expansion and wear.Japan's latest polyurethane formula, more solvent-resistant, more wear-resistant.
1.5 Unilateral design
Less solvent etched area
Smaller deformation area
Maintain stable printing pressure and angle for a long time
