Addressing Safety and Financial Risks
Bulk powder handling comes with inherent safety and financial risks. For example, many metallic powders can be pyrophoric, posing a significant fire hazard. Furthermore, improper storage can lead to non-reusable powders or quality degradation in printed parts.
Enhancing Safety and Efficiency
PowderStorage is engineered to protect your powders from oxygen and humidity, which can cause ignition risks or diminish powder quality. By providing a completely leak-tight enclosure, this solution ensures that your AM process is not only safer but also more efficient and productive.
Safeguard Your Powders from Oxygen and Moisture
Inert’s innovative PowderStorage system allows for the secure storage of up to 5,000 lbs of metallic powders. With a user-friendly 7-inch touchscreen control panel, the system efficiently regulates inert gas pressure while maintaining O₂ and H₂O levels. This setup ensures that your powders remain in a controlled, inert environment, effectively reducing the risk of contamination, oxidation, or fire. Additionally, for added security, the system includes a lock function that restricts access to trained personnel only, ensuring optimal safety.
Cost-Effective Design for AM Efficiency
The PowderStorage unit features an inflatable gasket, which ensures minimal inert gas consumption while providing operators with easy handling. This advanced gasket technology creates an airtight seal, safeguarding your powders from ambient air, moisture, and other potential contaminants. As a result, it preserves powder quality and extends usability.
Built to Last: American Engineering Excellence
Proudly engineered and manufactured in the USA, PowderStorage is constructed from highly durable 10-gauge stainless steel, meeting the most stringent quality standards. Its robust design enables the storage of large, heavy powder quantities while maintaining consistent performance and reliability. Consequently, this durability ensures the system is built to withstand heavy use and offers unmatched longevity.
