Contract Manufacturing Experience

Elcan’s experience: Sieving PA12 or Nylon 12 powder is a process that has been done on conventional screeners since the 3d printing industry came to the forefront. Companies have settled with inadequate sieving efficiencies and rates in order to produce the powder in spec. As the world has gotten finer, so has the spec, and at 53 mcirons, traditional screeners are no longer able to keep up. Elcan has developed a process for sieving PA12 powder at sizes as fine as 20 microns. The key is energy on the screening surface, which prevents the material from blinding and allows for fines to pass seamless through the screen mesh.  If you would like to schedule a test trial to run PA12 powder at our toll processing facility to see how sieving PA12 on the Hi-Sifter can improve your process, give us a call at (914) 381-7500!
