Paste dispensing or dosing in photovoltaic PV – is it worth to use an automatic dosing equipment ?

Georg Senftl — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 07:37:13 +0000

During photovoltaic cell production, screen printers apply different types of paste, either silver Ag or aluminum Al or aluminum-silver AlAg. These pastes need to be dosed or dispensed in a proper way into the screen printing machines. Many times this is done by hand. Beside this there are good dosing systems for the paste, such as from ViscoTec. But is it worth using a full-automatic dosing equipment? Using dispensing equipment for the paste saves labor cost. But this is not the big deal.

Consider a 4 Euro cell, where only 20% of the cost is the paste. Lets suggest with the dosing equipment you save 0,5% of paste and reduce the failure rate by 0,2% (the paste is much more homogeneous with a ViscoTec dispenser type ViscoTreat).

A line with 1200 cell per hour, running 700 hour per month, has an output of 840.000 cells per month. So the monthly savings of paste is about 3.360 Euro. Further, you can sell for 6.720 Euro more cells because of the better quality. Your total savings can be 10.000 Euro/ month. I am wondering if you agree with my figures?

pumping technology as garden decoration

Stefan Wimmer — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 13:36:11 +0000

The fact that rotors cannot only pump but also usable as decorative objects shows this photo. For this candleholder I used a sorted out(!) two-stage rotor with size 40, which already got dusty of some years being in the basment, and I led made a suitable high-grade steel baseplate. Here we go! It was rather difficult to find the suitable candles - (nearly) all, which I could buy, had a too large or small diameter and don`t fit into the socket, in which normally the coupling rod sits. Unfortunately I do not recommend for imitation due to the fact of the today’s high-grade steel prices however.

Successful company anniversary

Three weeks ago our large firm anniversary took place: Resch Maschinenbau GmbH, ViscoTec GmbH and Power Heat Set GmbH celebrated on 16 June round birthdays (50,10,5)together. The celebration began at 15 o’clock with a factory tour of all three buildings with organized guidance. Not only for the members, friends and acquaintance this inspection was interesting, also for the employees themselves could look behind the scenes of the other companies. Then afterwards we celebrated in the tent with approx. 700 guests with a delicious meal and live music.

Bike tour

Walter Niller — Thu, 31 May 2007 06:12:31 +0000

After nearly three-year break this year again once a motorcycle rally of ViscoTec coworkers took place. Punctually to the departure time last Friday afternoon eight inspired drivers met at the ViscoTec parking lot. Our colleague Hermann Aigner selected a beautiful route in Lower Bavaria (Niederbayern). The travel went over Geratskirchen, Rimbach and Malgersdorf to Mamming. The relatively small country road required driving skills from Martin Stadler and its Electra Glide, while Rene could not use directly its 172 PS strong Suzuki. In Mamming (Landau a.d. Isar) at pleasant temperatures in the beer garden weh ad a snack and we laughed much. After our stabilization our route on other way led back through Neumarkt St. Veit. At the following driver conclusion discussion were all participants united that this was not the last trip with the Bikes. We try that we can organize a similar route in September again.

Quitting time barbecue

Manuela Kühnel — Thu, 24 May 2007 09:56:29 +0000

Social gathering besides hard work is necessary. It is great that a barbecue evening was organized: Coworkers provided food and recreating beer. Thus we spent a beautiful barbecue evening yesterday, where we laughed and ate much. I wouldn`t say it we drunk much…a barrel beer for all unfortunately was too few… but perhaps it was good like that…. There were also no chops or Bavarian sausages, but house-made Thüringer Bratwürste, which our field representative brought from its hometown along. Such a benefit comes not all days. It tasted very much!

IKoRo 2007

Manuela Kühnel — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 07:53:22 +0000

Last Tuesday we represented the first time on an applicant fair. The FH Rosenheim, located in the beautiful Bavaria between Munich and the Alps, organized the industry and contact fair in the areas of the university for the 13th time. Over 60 exhibitors – from the engineer’s office up to the international large concern - presented themselves this year on the contact fair. For the enterprises and students the possibility is given to get in contact each other fast and uncomplicatedly, in order to speak about internships, theses (diploma), work student activities and jobs. This day was very interesting for us to be in the middle in the flair of the student life thereby. It prevailed contrary to trade fairs, at which we are normally represented, a pleasant atmosphere… for my taste sometimes too casually, because some students looked, as if they would come straight of the beach: with Bermudas and flip-flops. We wanted to use our presence on the IkoRo to call us as an interesting employer in the region in the consciousness of the students on one hand, to watch out highly-qualified new generation on the other hand. Let`s see whether we will be there next year again ….
