Abstract:
Control of the flow of granular polysilicon granules is effected by employing an elastomeric pinch sleeve valve. The flow control by this method is especially useful for controlling the flow of silicon seed particles and granular polysilicon product in the fluidized bed method for producing polysilicon. The flow may be stopped without gas leakage, and is suitable for use over long operating campaigns.

Claim (Index 23):
The fluidized bed reactor of  claim 22 , wherein the fluidized bed reactor further comprises at least one metering unit disposed in the inlet conduit between the reservoir vessel and the fluidized bed reactor and/or in the outlet conduit between the fluidized bed reactor and the collecting vessel.
