6. Powder transfer in the PHS device
Sinterit Powder Handling Station was created to keep all SLS printing processes in one place. Now it is easier than ever
to control the entire printing process for one person.
The Sinterit Powder Handling Station is a device for fast, effective, and ergonomic powder management from Sinterit
printers. The device allows removing the printout and powder from the printer, cleaning the printout, sifting and mixing
the powder so that it is ready for the next loading of the printer for printing.
The device can work only with the Sinterit ATEX Vacuum Cleaner, creating a set with it.
The Sinterit ATEX Vacuum Cleaner is the only source of vacuum which is needed for efficient powder circulation in the
PHS machine. The user needs to follow the recommendations below, only then the process is fast and effective and
powder losses are minimal.
Description of powder cycle in the PHS device
Below the Worktop there are two chambers with a Powder Feeding Screw mechanism (mechanically transporting the
powder) and a vacuum source (transporting the powder pneumatically). The larger chamber
1
, under the large grid, is
the Powder Chamber, in which there is only the Powder Feeding Screw mechanism. The second, smaller chamber, under
the small grid, is the Fine Dust Chamber
2
, in which the powder is sucked in, mixed with air, and sent by the internal pipe
system to the Sifting module
