Abstract: A polycrystalline silicon block fracture device includes a fracturing part mechanically fracturing a polycrystalline silicon block material to produce a polycrystalline silicon fragment including a polycrystalline silicon powder having a particle size of 500 to 1000 ?m then discharging from a discharging port; a falling movement part continuous with a downstream of the fracturing part allowing said polycrystalline silicon fragment discharged from the discharging port to fall by gravity; a receiver part positioned at downstream of the falling movement part and receives the polycrystalline silicon fragment after falling through the falling movement part; and the falling movement part includes a suction removing part in which at least part of the polycrystalline silicon powder included in the polycrystalline silicon fragment is removed by suctioning to a different direction from falling direction; the suction removing part suctions at a suction rate of 1 to 20 m3/min.

Abstract: A method of cleaning an inner wall surface (502) of a bell jar (500), by causing nozzles (112, 122) to discharge a cleaning liquid which contains abrasive particles, includes the steps of: (a) causing the nozzles (112, 122) to discharge the cleaning liquid at a discharge pressure at which erosion of the nozzles (112, 122), due to the cleaning liquid, occurs by not more than 500 ?m/hour; and (b) adjusting a distance between the inner wall surface (502) and the nozzles (112, 122) so that an impingement pressure, at which the cleaning liquid impinges on the inner wall surface (502), secures a pressure at which dirt on the inner wall surface (502) can be removed.
