Systemized Powder Handling Holistic. Customized.ADDITIVE
Metal powder handling for the additive manufacturing We offer entire system solutions
More automation, more safety and less harm to health
Resourceefficient powder conveying
No contamination of the products
Dustfree production environment
Less emissions and improved health protection
The additive manufacturing of components from metal powder is increasing all the time. This development is supported by individualised products with complex geometries, as well as the demand for production processes for small batches of goods. In this context, additive manufacturing has the potential to meet market needs directly in the form of printed goods and to make production processes more flexible as well.

The systems for conveying, screening and storing metal powders for 3D printing in additive manufacturing are of modular design and can thus be flexibly configured. The special feature when handling metal pow-ders is that the material is easily oxidised as a result of its chemical properties and its fineness of grain combined with a correspondingly large surface area. This high reactivity means that screening in particu-lar must take place under a protective gas, i.e. in an inert atmosphere.
Depending on the manufacturing requirements, conveying and storage may also be performed in an inert environment. This demanding pro-cess quickly shows the importance of relying on a coordinated concept when handling metal powders.

The type designation MPS-30 stands for a mobile screening solution for metal powders in additive manufacturing processes where the material re-quirements are higher. The machine has a receiv-er vessel capacity of 30 litres and screens up to three litres of aluminium powder every minute. The screening station can be operated autonomously on site using the integrated touch display. The MPS30 is integrated into the process control level of an addi-tive manufacturing process for central control.
