Elcan Industries Launches the Hi-Sifter Metal Powder Recycling System for Additive Manufacturing

Revolutionizing 3D Printing Powder Recycling from 44um Down to As Fine As 10um

Recognizing the critical importance of recycling AM powders in the 3D printing landscape, Elcan Industries introduces the Hi-Sifter Powder Reclaiming System, a pioneering solution tailored to the additive manufacturing industry. This innovative system ensures the quick and efficient recycling of metal powders, reducing printer downtime and maximizing production.

Traditional recycling of AM powders has become a significant bottleneck for many in the 3D printing sector. Conventional screeners lack the efficiency and specificity needed, often compelling companies to compromise on their desired powder specifications. The Hi-Sifter system addresses these challenges head-on.

Key features and benefits include:

1. Construction: Made of 100% polished stainless steel, the Hi-Sifter is optimal for Aerospace and Biomedical applications.

Safety First: The explosion-proof vacuum system ensures powders are transported in a wholly inert environment, with the Hi-Sifter itself boasting inert capabilities. This reduces the handling of potentially explosive powders.

2. Efficiency: Unlike standard screeners that decrease processing speed to achieve fine separations, the Hi-Sifter employs a high-energy approach. This prevents particle clogging and screen mesh blinding, allowing powders to flow effortlessly through the screen.

3. Enhanced Productivity: The energy on the screen translates to increased processing rates, ensuring minimal printer downtime.

As the powder recycling industry evolves, Elcan Industries remains at the forefront. Having already aided numerous metal powder producers in conditioning their products for the market with the Hi-Sifter, this technology is now available for end users. "We've taken the equipment trusted by powder producers and optimized it for those at the heart of the additive manufacturing process," says Russell Grotto, Executive Vice President.
