Inert is a global engineering leader in the design and manufacturing of Glovebox, Gas Management, and Powder Handling Systems.

This year at Rapid + TCT, Inert is introducing a new line of standard enclosures that assist additive manufacturing users with de-powdering their printed parts and reclaiming costly metal powders. These hermetically sealed enclosures are purpose built to protect powders from contamination by atmosphere, and operators from breathing airborne particles.

With over 35 years of experience building enclosures for a variety of air sensitive and containment applications, Inert is uniquely equipped to provide the additive manufacturing industry with safe, reliable, and efficient powder handling products.

Inert's line of Argon Management Systems reduce enclosure O₂ & H₂O to <1 ppm. Maintaining these conditions reduces argon consumption, offers traceability, and provides a safe working and processing environment for reactive metal powders.

We pride ourselves on our first-class service and our flexibility in integrating our products for the greatest performance under the strictest of standards.

We invite you to work with us.

  Inert Partners with Sievgen on Powder Handling Solutions for Additive Manufacturers

  Amesbury, Mass. – March 22, 2017 – Inert (www.inert-am.com) and Sievgen (www.sievgen.com) announce a new partnership for supplying powder handling equipment to the US additive manufacturing market. The two companies based in Amesbury, MA and Mapledurwell, UK will work together to promote the Sievgen 04 automated sieving station to companies working with powders used in the 3D printing process.

  “It was a win-win situation,” explains Inert President Daniel Clay. “We met with Farleygreene (the sieving experts behind Sievgen) at last year’s TCT show in Birmingham, and that initial meeting lead to discussions about how our two companies can benefit from what the other has to offer. We’ve been providing inert gas enclosures to additive manufacturers, now we can offer them more ways to improve their AM processes with the Sievgen in our portfolio.”

  “For us the US is one of the key markets where AM is taking off,” states David Buckley, Sievgen’s Product Manager. “As a company we are investing heavily in the AM sector, and as an established partner, Inert are well placed to unlock both sales and market knowledge to help feed back into future development, something that we see as vitally important in any partner that we work with in this sector.”

  Clay cites the high cost and corrosive properties of metal powders as some of the biggest hurdles additive manufacturers face. “The Sievgen is hermetically sealed like our glove boxes, and allows users to safely work with, weigh and measure, reclaim, and transfer metal powders to and from AM machines. That saves time and money.”

  The Sievgen 04 sieving station will be displayed alongside Inert’s new powder handling glove box system in stand 1147 at Rapid + TCT held May 9-11 in Pittsburgh, PA, USA.

• Inert to Debut New De-Powdering Enclosure at Rapid + TCT (Mar 22, 2017)

  For Immediate Release

  Amesbury, Mass. – March 22, 2017 – Having collaborated with several key 3D printing companies in 2015 and 2016, Inert (www.inerttechnology.com) will debut its new standard glove box enclosure for de-powdering printed parts at Rapid + TCT in booth 1147, May 9-11 at the David. L. lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, PA. Designed for the unique requirements of 3D printed parts and materials, Inert’s new de-powdering enclosure offers additive manufacturers a safe and efficient way to process and de-powder metal 3D printed parts. This new single operator system is an upgraded glove box enclosure with features designed foe the health and safety of the operator, the efficient reclamation of titanium and other costly metal powders, and protection of the material from oxidization and environmental contamination.  

  Inert President Daniel Clay says, “We’ve taken the solutions Inert engineered for our customers in additive manufacturing and combined them into a new, standard glove box model. Companies working with metal powders like titanium understand that an inert environment is essential for structurally solid printed results. Our new glove box system has several additional features that make it the ideal solution to the problems these companies face with de-powerding parts, and metal powder handling and storage.”

  The new De-Powdering Enclosure is equipped with a hermetically sealed interior and exterior including two gloveports. A mechanically operated rotating tilt table allows 3D printed parts to be locked in place for easy de-powdering with integrated argon gun. Unidirectional flow funnels powders to a collection well, with powder storage kegs.

  The debut of this new system will be coupled with Inert’s Argon-2, a closed loop gas management system that provides a continuous recirculation, purification, and analysis of the argon environment inside the hermetically sealed glove box. The Argon-2 is one model in a suite of gas management systems offered by Inert to provide safe working conditions for oxygen and water sensitive applications.

  Optional features of the de-powdering enclosure include O2 and H2O ppm analyzers, integrated sieving station, powder hoppers, and transfer chambers.
