CRYSTEN monocrystal growth system
The CRYSTEN system is designed for monocrystal growth using the Czochralski, Kiropolus and Flux methods. It provides a wide operating range for temperature, rotation and pulling speed, together with support for different atmospheres.
Applications
- Tungstates used as scintillators
- Complex tungstates alloyed with rare earth elements as laser media
- Titanates, germanates and silicates for optical recording
- Borates and phosphates used as laser radiation converters
- Research work and pilot monocrystal production
Main blocks
- Main frame carrying the furnace, water cooling, movements and rotation systems
- Control unit for temperature, pulling, rotation, timing and visualization
- UPS for maintaining the technological process during power failure
- Closed-loop water cooling system with chiller and circulation pump
