LDK Solar announced that its new polysilicon plant in Xinyu City, China will operate using Diamond Wire SR200 Filament Saws. These filament saws have a clear advantage over regular blades in that they are capable of cutting up to 100% more filaments, with lower kerf. This results in more efficient use of materials and enables more polysilicon rods to be manufactured from the same amount of raw materials.

Nick Sarno, Senior Vice President of Manufacturing, explained the advantages of using Diamond Wire filament saws in the following statement:

"We are confident that the use of Filament Saw will allow us to meet increasing production needs at a lower cost in our new polysilicon production plant. We look forward to expanding our relationship with Diamond Wire Technology as we continue to grow and increase production."
