Air classifier AC1000G (Blue Power Casting Systems)

Technical specification

  • Feed material: Powder
  • Maximum feed quantity: 6 kg (bronze or steel)
  • Classification range: 4 - 200 µm
  • Protective atmosphere: argon or nitrogen
  • Maximum speed of classifier wheel: 10000 min-1

Application

Flexible classification of powdery materials in small quantities. Separation of powder into fine and coarse powder fractions, especially in the range < 25 µm, where conventional screening methods usually fail.

AU 3000 powder atomisation system (Blue Power Casting Systems)

Technical specification

  • Maximum temperature: 2000 °C
  • Atomising medium: argon or nitrogen
  • Maximum gas pressure: 30 bar
  • Maximum gas temperature: 450 °C
  • Atomiser nozzle system: free-fall and clouse-coupled atomiser
  • Crucible volume: 3 l
  • Maximum powder quantity (steel): 22 kg
  • Cycle time: 3 - 4 h

Application

Production of new, innovative and specialised metal powders in small batches for research and development:

  • Alloys that are not available on the market;
  • Precious metals that are usually required in small quantities and where any metal loss must be avoided;
  • Powder materials for additive manufacturing (powder-based processes: Laser/Electron-Beam Melting, Laser Metal Deposition) where high purity, sphericity and reproducible particle size distribution are required;
  • Small-volume production with the lowest possible cross-contamination and short process time, which cannot be realised in an economically viable way on conventional systems.
