Recycling of Metal Powders using Hi-Sifter Technology
Recycling Additive Manufacturing Powders
Elcan Industries Inc has developed a new program to help its customers with the recycling of Additive Manufacturing powders. The company will guide those new to metal AM with the handling and sieving of these powders, as well as offering assistance on a tolling basis to those not ready to invest in recycling equipment.
Using its proprietary Hi-Sifter technology, Elcan Industries can help companies recycle their AM powders at the desired powder specification. This means, for example, if the powder is a 44 µm powder, Elcan’s technology will sieve the powder at 44 µm or finer depending on the customers requirements.
The company has 30 years of experience sieving chemical powders which has given the company the knowledge to process these types of metal powders efficiently and safely. It also has a new state of the art lab that contains a sieving station with the sole purpose of recycling Additive Manufacturing powders for companies.
The Elcan facility is capable of handling material from 10lbs to 10 million pounds of metal powder and offers sieve sizes down to 10 µm. All companies that toll process with Elcan will receive a particle size analysis report for each fraction of the product as well as sieve analysis as needed.
