Reliably Sifting Metal Powder for 3D Printing
When feeding 3D metal printers, the metal powder used must be free of coarse particles. The UFS 765 ultrasonic screener screens the powder before it is fed into the 3D printer and automatically separates out any coarse particles. This ensures that only the screened fine material enters the subsequent process.
Gentle screening, even under an inert gas atmosphere
The UFS 765 was specifically designed for screening metal powders in additive manufacturing. An inert gas supply enables screening even under an inert gas atmosphere. This allows highly reactive metal powders to be processed under the necessary process conditions.
Ultrasonic cleaning reduces cleaning and setup time
The high-frequency ultrasonic vibration automatically keeps the screen surface clear during operation. This extends the cleaning intervals and reduces the screen machine’s setup times. At the same time, the screen can be inspected quickly and easily.
Compact integration and reliable powder discharge
The compact design makes it easy to integrate the ultrasonic screener into powder supply modules. After screening, the fine material is conveyed via the fine material outlet—either pneumatically or by gravity—to the next process step, while the coarse material is automatically discharged. Unmelted metal powder from the 3D printing process can be recirculated, rescreened, and reused.
