PowTReX SERIES POWDER TRANSFER, RECOVERY, AND EXTRACTION SYSTEM
PowTReX: powder transfer, recovery and extraction system
PowTReX system automatically transfers 3D printing powders from a container or supply hopper to the printer, extracts and sieves unused metal powder after a completed build job to remove oversize particles, and collects the sieved powder for return into the process. The integrated vacuum conveyor directs the powder transfer into a small internal buffer hopper to allow continuous, metered feed onto the vibrating screen for sieving. Fused bits and agglomerates from the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process are removed and the clean, recovered powder is collected in a discharge container, filled into bottles, or directly picked up and conveyed to downstream equipment.
