  • Patent number: 8517295
    Abstract: An apparatus for fracturing polycrystalline silicon having a pair of rolls which are rotated in a counter direction each other around parallel axes; and a plurality of fracturing teeth which are provided on outer peripheral surfaces of the rolls and are protruded radially-outwardly, in which top surfaces thereof are formed spherically and side surfaces thereof are formed conically or cylindrically, and fracturing fragments of polycrystalline silicon between the rolls.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 27, 2011
    Date of Patent: August 27, 2013
    Assignee: Mitsubishi Materials Corporation
    Inventors: Takahiro Matsuzaki, Teruyoshi Komura, Shunsuke Kotaki, Motoki Sato
  • Patent number: 8439287
    Abstract: An apparatus for fracturing polycrystalline silicon has: a pair of rolls which are rotated in a counter direction each other around parallel axes; and a plurality of fracturing teeth protruding outward radially from outer peripheral surfaces of the rolls and having variant heights. In the apparatus for fracturing, the fracturing teeth are arranged so that higher teeth among the fracturing teeth and lower teeth among the fracturing teeth are alternately rowed at least along a circumferential direction or a width direction of the rolls; and the fracturing teeth are arranged so that a tip of the higher tooth of the one roll and a tip of the lower tooth of the other roll are opposed to each other at a position in which the fracturing teeth of each rolls are closest to each other, so that the apparatus fractures fragments of polycrystalline silicon between the rolls.

  • Patent number: 8434707
    Abstract: An apparatus for fracturing polycrystalline silicon having: a pair of rolls rotated in a counter direction each other around parallel axes; and a plurality of fracturing teeth units provided on outer peripheral surfaces of the rolls, arranged along a circumferential direction of the rolls, and have a plurality of fracturing teeth and fixing covers fixing the fracturing teeth on the outer peripheral surfaces of the rolls, in which: the fracturing teeth has flanges; and the fixing covers are formed as strips along a longitudinal direction of the rolls, and in which the fixing covers are fixed on the rolls in a state in which top ends of the fracturing teeth are protruded outward radially of the rolls from the fixing hole outward so as to hold the flanges between the fixing covers and the rolls.
