Powdershield™
The PowderShield™ line of glovebox enclosures allow additive manufacturers the ability to safely post-process prints and reclaim their metallic and non-metallic powders. They are customisable for application-specific configurations and promote safety and savings. Keeping airborne powder particulate within Inert’s controlled atmosphere eliminates operator health risks, damage to area electronics, and fire hazards related to the combustibility of titanium powders.
Manufacturer
Inert
Inert design and deliver the most dependable standardised and custom-built atmosphere Glove Boxes, Gas Management Systems, and Solvent Purification Systems at the most competitive prices. They also offer a full inventory of replacement parts and supplies. Since 1981, they have been the glove box and solvent system design/manufacturer who puts quality, flexibility, and customer service first. As a result, their solutions and after-sales support are unmatched.
Enclosure Features
The PowderShield™ enclosure is the base of the system and is built with a repeatable hermetic seal, hinged window panel, LED lighting, and stand.
It can come equipped with various optional features to provide unique de-powdering solutions, including rotating tilt table, vacuum hose, blow off gun, unidirectional flow, and other components for safety and efficiency.
After powders have been removed, the gravity-fed chute collects and contains powders for reuse, and can be integrated with sieves, powder hoppers, and collection kegs.
Enclosure Options
PowderShield™ optional features provide further customisation configurations for additive manufacturers who have unique post-processing requirements when it comes to metal powders and safety. These and more can be designed and built into the PowderShield™ system.
Gas Management
Integrating inert gas management to the PowderShield™ enclosure creates a work environment free from oxygen that can cause ignition or combustion to metal powders. Gas management can also be used to supply argon to the interior blow off gun, for the cleanest, purest de-powdering process possible.
Powder Filtration
Inert’s powder filtration is perfect for handling the small amounts of particulate leftover on parts after they have been removed from the build chamber. Filtration passivates the powders making them safe to handle, dispose of, or recycle after the part has been fully post-processed.
Cyclonic Filtration
Cyclonic filtration integration with PowderShield™ can be used to handle large quantities of powders or particulate up to several gallons at a time. The design allows additive manufacturers who have higher quantities of residual powders in the post-processing stage to fully de-powder and recycle the media. Can be integrated with vacuums and sieves for other AM solutions.
