STAR is designed as a central station that continuously and automatically controls the pneumatic transfer, recycling, and conditioning of powder from various sources. It provides a direct connection to the 3D-printer, powder removal systems (MARS), and can also be used to purify the virgin powder before it is used in the 3D-printer. The combination of the MARS de-powdering machine and the STAR02 powder recovery and conditioning system, both working in a closed-loop inert atmosphere, prevents contaminants and oxides from ruining the powder during de-powdering and conditioning and brings powder reusability to the next level. Solutions like these are crucial in bringing additive manufacturing closer to mass production capabilities.
BASIC CONFIGURATION
- Powerful vacuum extraction pump 5,5 kW
- Cyclone separator with quick-mountable exhaust HEPA 13 cartridge
- Pulse jet filter cartridge cleaning system
- Rotary valve for powder dosing made from AISI 316
- Vibrating sieve with ultrasonic cleaning for larger sieving capacity
- 40l big powder collection bin
- 10l waste powder collection bin
- Level switch in collection cyclone
- Load cell equipped powder collection bins for weight measurement
- Suction hose Ø 50mm
- 8" Color touch interface

NOTE
In case STAR 02 is connected to MARS inert, it can maintain inert closed loop system through entire process of de-powdering, powder transfer and sieving.
