Abstract

A polycrystalline silicon block fracture device includes a fracturing part mechanically fracturing a polycrystalline silicon block material to produce a polycrystalline silicon fragment including a polycrystalline silicon powder having a particle size of 500 to 1000 μm then discharging from a discharging port; a falling movement part continuous with a downstream of the fracturing part allowing said polycrystalline silicon fragment discharged from the discharging port to fall by gravity; a receiver part positioned at downstream of the falling movement part and receives the polycrystalline silicon fragment after falling through the falling movement part; and the falling movement part includes a suction removing part in which at least part of the polycrystalline silicon powder included in the polycrystalline silicon fragment is removed by suctioning to a different direction from falling direction; the suction removing part suctions at a suction rate of 1 to 20 m3/min.
