Czochralski Crystal Puller Nozzle Assembly from Canada
This nozzle assembly is a precision-engineered part used in Czochralski crystal growers for directing the flow of molten silicon during monocrystalline boule formation in semiconductor manufacturing. It falls under HTS 8424.90.9080 as a part of a mechanical appliance for projecting liquids (molten semiconductor material). Classified here due to its role in jet projecting high-temperature liquids in crystal growth equipment.
