The WPS-FA-P Series, Front Access Wet Process System

The WPS-FA-P Series, Polypropylene Front Access Wet Process System is designed to process Si and GaAs wafers in a class 10 environment. Systems are constructed out of Stress Relieved Polypropylene or optional FM Approved 4910 Compliant Flame Retardant Polypropylene, Kynar® (PVDF) or Halar® (ECTFE) for corrosion resistance to all acids and bases. Modular recess deck with 360° lip exhaust and secondary exhaust ensures proper fume capture and reduces facility exhaust requirements. The through wall installation permits all service connections to be made in rear chase and facilitates auxiliary equipment installations. Open base provides for clean room air return and reduces particle build up beneath system. Seismic bracing at six points insures additional safety to facility and personnel. All DI Water fluid components are accessible through removable front access panels. All electrical components are accessible through slide out control panels and hinged top plate and incorporates interlocks for safety. All chemical wetted components are PVDF, PFA or Quartz. All electrical components are UL, CSA or CE listed. All system electrical components are guaranteed for three years and All system DI Water components are guaranteed for two years and provide a 98% uptime.
