How Technology Manufacturers Use Chemical Delivery Systems

Safe handling and secure storage of chemicals, as well as their delivery in precise amounts, is the requirement of technology manufacturing. Corrosive chemicals (for etching, cleaning, plating, etc.) should be delivered to the process safely, in accurate amounts, and neutralized properly before disposal. Automated chemical delivery systems are able to handle these requirements with precision.

The key to supplying effective chemical delivery systems is an adaptable approach combined with the capability to develop systems that are tailor-made to meet the client's specific needs.

Modutek’s Chemical Delivery Systems feature fluid paths -- all made of Teflon -- double containment cabinet construction, leak detection and chemical level sensing. The software that commands the chemical delivery system can be highly customizable to meet the manufacturers' needs. These systems are flexible because of the customizable software which adapts to the manufacturer’s specific applications. For example, a company that manufactures silicon wafers may have different requirements compared to another company that makes solar cells or hard disk drives.
