Additive Manufacturing
Whether powder preparation or powder recovery. With ultrasound, additive manufacturing reaches a new level of efficiency.
For OEM and operators, our ultrasonic systems are the ideal companions for more quality and productivity.
Protective sieving is an important process to ensure the desired quality of the powder for 3D printing. The sieve guarantees that only the desired fine powder enters the dedicated process. Ultrasound is used to remove impurities, oversize and undersize particles, and dust with maximum efficiency. Thus, ultrasound becomes an invaluable companion in additive manufacturing during powder production, preparation, and also recycling.
Compared to conventional flow aids, ultrasound has several advantages.
Why our ultrasound is the right choice to optimize your 3D printing powder manufacturing, preparation or recovery process.
01
Increased throughput compared to mechanical flow aids
02
Compact system size and digital interfaces: easy plant integration
03
Reduction of sieving area: more sieving on a smaller area
04
No contamination: components outside the sieving area
05
24V power supply makes it the ideal partner for equipment manufacturers

Areas of application
01
Powder preparation / screening
Thanks to ultrasound, impurities are sieved out with maximum efficiency and agglomerates are broken up. The oversize particles are separated more quickly than with mechanical flow aids. For users, this means a higher yield using less space.
02
Powder recovery / screening
Recovery systems process the powder separated and then prepare it for reuse in the 3D printing process. Ultrasound is used to increase the yield of the valuable product.
03
Powder production / discharging and conveying
During the production of powders for the additive manufacturing sector, classic flow problems such as bridging and demixing occur frequently. Thanks to ultrasound, even powders that are difficult to convey, such as metal powder, can flow continuously. The residual material of the valuable product is completely discharged from bulk handling equipment such as hoppers, cyclones and chutes. Cleaning cycles are thus reduced to the minimum.
The perfect complement to your existingnew
system
Our patented technology gives you the greatest possible flexibility. Regardless of the geometry, new as well as existing systems can be supported with ultrasound.
Efficient sieving, discharging, conveying and dosing made easy.
The user-friendly solutions get the bulk material moving. Without having to match the geometry to be excited to the frequency of the ultrasonic generator.
Avoiding problems during screening and discharging
While during sieving the sieve mesh remains clear for longer and the separation efficiency is increased, when discharging from silos, among others, classic problems such as bridging and ratholing are prevented thanks to ultrasound.
Reduction of ongoing operating costs
Because ultrasound keeps the product flowing and ensures a continuous process, expensive product downtime can be avoided. In addition, ultrasonic components contribute to significantly lower energy costs compared to pneumatic and mechanical flow aids.
