Metal powders, printer loading with pneumatic conveyor
CUSTOMER NEEDS

3D PRINTER LOADING

Replacing the manual loading of the 3D printer and other metal powder lifting solutions with Delfin pneumatic conveyors allows for quick loading and unloading of metal powders and avoids wasting very expensive material which is toxic for operators.

Delfin conveying systems take the metal powder directly from metal barrels or product intake hoppers and carry it through a closed system to the printer, resulting in:

  • Process automation: shorter cycle times
  • Elimination of the risk of injuries due to lifting weights
  • Powder saving and recovery
  • Cleaner and safer working environment
CASE STUDIES

PNEUMATIC CONVEYOR FOR 3D PRINTER LOADING

The customer, a leading company in the additive manufacturing industry, used to load the printer manually and at height, putting the operators at risk, as they were exposed to harmful dust and the possibility of accidents.

Thanks to the Delfin conveying system, this operation becomes an automated process: the metal powders are no longer loaded onto the printer manually, resulting in the need for less personnel, a reduction in the risks of accidents due to weight lifting and consequently shorter production times and zero waste and environmental contamination.
