Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Dutch term or phrase:
een soort wasmachine voor 'wevers'
English translation:
a kind of washing machine for wafers
Dutch term
een soort wasmachine voor wevers
Translating a description of equipment that is being developed for a cleanroom at research facilities. This is how they describe it, but I just want to be sure if 'wevers' is weavers in this case or if there is another term it refers to.
Thanks for your help!
**Nu zijn we bijvoorbeeld bezig met een soort wasmachine voor wevers, een apparaat bedoeld voor de Clean Room. Technisch heel uitdagend.**

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Een apparaat voor de Cleanroom
‘Nu zijn we bijvoorbeeld bezig met een soort wasmachine voor wafers, een apparaat bedoeld voor de Cleanroom. Technisch heel uitdagend. Waar ik echt trots ben, als ik terugkijk op de afgelopen 30 jaar, is dat ik heb mogen meewerken aan de elektronica van de Twente Turbulent Taylor-Couette opstelling voor onderzoek naar lucht- en vloeistofstromingen. Een opstelling van drie bij drie bij drie meter, die nog steeds door promovendi wordt gebruikt.

wafer:
In electronics, a wafer (also called a slice or substrate)[1] is a thin slice of semiconductor, such as a crystalline silicon (c-Si), used for the fabrication of integrated circuits and, in photovoltaics, to manufacture solar cells. The wafer serves as the substrate for microelectronic devices built in and upon the wafer.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wafer_(electronics)
In de micro-elektronica is een wafer een dunne plak monokristallijn halfgeleidermateriaal, bijvoorbeeld silicium, waarop geïntegreerde schakelingen geconstrueerd worden door middel van dotering technieken van verschillende materialen (bijvoorbeeld door diffusie, ionenimplantatie, depositie of chemisch etsen). Wafers zijn dus zeer belangrijk in de fabricatie van halfgeleidermaterialen zoals geïntegreerde schakelingen, transistoren, diodes en passieve RLC circuits. Naast elektronische componenten worden ook mechanische componenten, zoals MEMS, op wafers gefabriceerd.

wafer can not wash in washing machine!
Reference comments
wever
So 'weaver' would not make sense as a translation.
That is, I don't see why a weaver needs a washing machine in a cleanroom:
A cleanroom or clean room is a facility ordinarily utilized as a part of specialized industrial production or scientific research, including the manufacture of pharmaceutical items, integrated circuits, CRT, LCD, OLED and microLED displays. Cleanrooms are designed to maintain extremely low levels of particulates, such as dust, airborne organisms, or vaporized particles.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleanroom
Perhaps a 'wever' is an instrument or part of an instrument used in the production of pharmaceutical items
/ integrated circuits / CRT / LCD / OLED / microLED displays.
Perhaps it is jargon.
Perhaps it is a spelling error
