Abstract
A slurry sprayer for supplying a slurry to a wire saw during ingot slicing is disclosed. The slurry sprayer includes a main body and a cover plate that is detachable from the main body for cleaning the slurry sprayer. In some embodiments, the slurry sprayer includes an adjustable support that allows the incline angle of the sprayer to be adjusted and allows the vertical and horizontal position of the slurry sprayer to be adjusted. In some embodiments, the slurry sprayer includes two feed openings to allow the slurry pressure to be more equalized across the slurry sprayer.
