FEEDSTOCK POWDER FEEDERS
 
Reliable and consistent powder feeding is one of the major challenges of processes that use finely divided metal powders. Fortunately, the low-pressure cold gas-dynamic spray process allows us to avoid the complexities of high-pressure powder injection. CenterLine has a range of solutions depending on the project needs.
 
Standard
Our dual-hopper non-pressurized vibratory feeders are integrated into all of our standard machines. When unlatched, each hopper swings down for easy loading and unloading of the 400 ml feedstock powder containers. The system delivers feedstock powders with particle sizes ranging from 10 µm to 50 µm at rates that are easily adjustable from 0.1 g/s to 0.9 g/s. These flow rates are well suited to the requirements of our standard orifice and 6 mm nozzle. While it is an open-loop feeding system, the system delivers remarkably repeatable results.
   
Optional Feeders
When more accurate feed rate control is desired, both volumetric and mass feeders can be integrated into our systems. Optional powder preheating can also be incorporated. Contact CenterLine for additional details.
