PowTReX in use at Materials Solutions a Siemens Business (GB)
The system has a high material throughput of up to 500 kg / h for stainless steel and up to 300 kg / h for aluminum powder in a very small footprint.
Optionally the sieved powder can be recover automatically back into the 3D printing process by vacuum conveyor technology.
The explosion-proof system with its integrated HEPA filter ensures a safe and clean working atmosphere.
Also available as closed-loop / inert system.
The system works with both, normal atmospheric air and inert gas. If inert gas delivery is required or desired for product protection, the PowTReXi system will run in a “closed loop” mode. The inert gas is kept in the system cycle and will be reused, not consumed. Additional costs for large amounts of inert gas are thus avoided.
