ChemFlow’s high precision Point-of-Use (POU) CFCs series provide extremely accurate and repeatable blending of chemicals over a wide range of mixing ratios.

ChemFlow’s patented volumetric blending process, in combination with our pipe-tank design, makes precision volumetric blending and delivery simple.

The CFC2 series provides 2.5 LPM blend and delivery of high purity CMP chemicals to a single or multiple tools. It utilizes our patented "U-tube" technology along with our 3.5-gallon pipe-tank. Pneumatic valves are the only moving parts employed.

Each CFC2 unit consists of two sub-units, the Blending Unit and the Delivery Unit. The blending unit accurately combines set quantities for 2 chemicals to achieve the desired mix ratio. The ChemFlow system mixes the chemicals together by first filling individual volumetric vessels. The volume is determined by using our patented “U-Tube” technique. This allows for highly accurate and repetitive volumetric measurements. Once the vessels are filled, the contents of each vessel are gravity transferred into the mixing vessel. The result is an accurately mixed chemical. The blended chemical is then transferred to the delivery unit of the system by pressure.

There are many methods available to perform blending of chemicals. Current industry standards utilize metering pumps, scales, sensors, or a combination of the above, but these methods fail to maintain precision blending over time. The inherent problem with these systems are that they add a layer of complexity to the blending and delivery processes. This translates into costly downtime due to improperly mixed batches, discarded material due to shelf-life, additional labor required for calibrations, and,or preventive/corrective maintenance. The CFC2 mixes small batches for what the need is, eliminating waste.

The ChemFlow CFC2 system is extremely easy to operate. It is self-monitoring and contains few moving components. The system takes advantage of the physical properties of liquids and gravity to accurately and repeatedly fill the blending vessel with precise volumes of liquid. The U-tube design is simple, self-cleaning, and with the gravity overflow drain, it naturally monitors the level within the vessels with precise accuracy. Once the u-tube is set and locked in, the volume obtained within the mixing vessel is precisely repeatable. The slurry or chemical is then delivered to the POU or loop under constant pressure and flow.
