- the plastic bag is pulled over the energy absorber, then the scales incl. Sieve open, then opened a case brake and closed and then lowered the bag under wave motions and / or shaking.
- a fall brake is preferably a device that is pressed against plastic bag or energy absorber. As a result, the cross section of the plastic bag or the energy absorber is first reduced, then released controlled. This makes it possible to control the product flow and to achieve a low-backflow filling of the silicon into the prefabricated bag.
- the energy absorber consists of a non-metallic low-contamination material.

- the closing of the plastic bag can be done for example by means of welding, gluing, sewing or positive locking. Preferably, it is done by welding.
- the filling device consists of a filling unit and the freely suspended energy absorber which is connected to the filling unit.
- the free-hanging energy absorber has the form of a freely suspended movable flexible hose or one of the other forms mentioned, which are hereinafter to be understood for the sake of simplicity by the term hose with.

- the coating used is preferably a material selected from the group consisting of titanium nitride, titanium carbide, aluminum titanium nitride and DLC (Diamond Like Carbon).
- the dosing unit also makes it possible to divide the silicon product flow over a controlled swirl chute into several dosing and packaging systems and thus a combination of several dosing systems, which are filled with a starting product and are transported to different packaging machines after dosing and weighing.
- the dosing system includes separation mechanisms (sieves) that screen out unwanted, smaller, product sizes and then deliver them to the upstream processes (sieving, classifying).
- the polysilicon fragments are packaged in two plastic bags.
- the packaging in a first plastic bag is carried out as previously mentioned using an energy absorber.
- the first plastic bag is closed.
- the sealed bag is then transferred via a gripping system or a conveyor belt to a machine part for attaching a second bag.
- the polysilicon may also be filled into two nested bags.
- the inner and outer bags are completely inserted into one another, the inner bag is welded, folded over and, after optional control, the outer bag is welded.

Claims (6)
- Procédé pour l'emballage de silicium polycristallin, dans lequel on introduit le silicium polycristallin au moyen d'un dispositif de remplissage dans un sac en matière plastique, le dispositif de remplissage comprenant un absorbeur d'énergie suspendu librement, à base d'un matériau non métallique à faible contamination, caractérisé en ce qu'on tire le sac en matière plastique au-dessus de l'absorbeur d'énergie, on introduit le silicium polycristallin et pendant le remplissage on fait descendre le sac en matière plastique vers le bas, de sorte que le silicium glisse dans le sac en matière plastique, avant le début du mouvement de descente du sac en matière plastique sa section transversale étant réduite au moyen d'un dispositif approprié et étant peu à peu augmentée pendant le remplissage ou après le remplissage, afin de réaliser un remplissage contrôlé du sac en matière plastique avec le silicium polycristallin.
- Procédé selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que le sac en matière plastique est à base de polyéthylène (PE), poly(éthylène-téréphtalate) (PET) ou polypropylène (PP) ou d'un film composite.
- Procédé selon la revendication 1, dans lequel l'absorbeur d'énergie est constitué d'un matériau non métallique à faible contamination et présente la forme d'un entonnoir, d'un tuyau souple ou d'un corps creux.
- Procédé selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 3, dans lequel le réservoir ou l'absorbeur d'énergie comprennent une balance.
- Procédé selon la revendication 1, dans lequel le réservoir ou l'absorbeur d'énergie comprennent une balance qui est conçue sous forme d'un tamis et se trouve sur un fond de l'absorbeur d'énergie ou du réservoir.
- Procédé selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 5, dans lequel est prévu un mécanisme qui exécute pendant le remplissage une mise en mouvement par ondulations ou secousses du réservoir ou de l'absorbeur d'énergie, afin de pouvoir exclure complètement un blocage et afin de réaliser une meilleure séparation.
