Metal powders are essential for industries such as additive manufacturing, powder metallurgy, thermal spray coatings, and battery production, where precise particle size distribution is critical for performance. In applications like 3D printing and metal injection molding (MIM), inconsistent powder sizes can lead to poor part quality, material waste, and process inefficiencies.
Traditional screening machines and ultrasonic sieves often struggle with screen mesh blinding, electrostatic buildup, and material loss, making it difficult to achieve the tight particle size distributions that are required for high-performance metal powders that go into high performance industries. Elcan Industries’ high-energy sieving machine technology provides a superior solution, enabling efficient and precise classification of metal powders down to ultra-fine sizes without causing contamination or oxidation.
Metal powder applications require precise particle size control to achieve consistent flowability, packing density, and sintering performance. The Hi-Sifter is engineered to deliver high-purity metal powders with tight particle size control, eliminating issues normally caused by conventional screening machines, such as screen blinding, inconsistent separations, excessive material loss and worst of all, LOW YIELDS!
With the Hi-Sifter’s high-energy grading machine technology, metal powders flow freely through the mesh, preventing agglomeration and ensuring efficient separations without the need for ultrasonics. This results in improved powder consistency, which is crucial for powder bed fusion (PBF) 3D printing, laser cladding, and metal coating applications.
By preventing contamination, oxidation, and segregation, Elcan’s sieving technology helps manufacturers produce high-performance metal powders for aerospace, automotive, medical, and energy applications. Whether screening stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, tungsten, or nickel-based alloys, the Hi-Sifter provides unmatched efficiency in ultra-fine powder separation.
