Metal powder recovery made easy

The PowTReX is a vacuum, transfer, sieving and recovery system for metal powders, developed for use in the ​​additive manufacturing (AM) industry. It is used to transport metal powder from, for example, 3D printers and unpacking stations with a high and constant suction power. The extracted powder is sieved and the material with the appropriate particle size can be automatically returned to the process.

The system has a small footprint of less than 1 m² and offers a high and stable material throughput. The PowTReX is a reliable, safe and easy to use system which utilises a HEPA filter for protecting against harmful substances. Installation in an EX zone 22 is also possible because it is an ATEX-approved system with type-tested components. It is operated using a touch display and one-button operation.
