Advanced Metal Powder Blending: How APS Enhances Uniformity & Flowability

A leading manufacturer faced a formulation obstacle: their metal powders lacked uniformity, affecting printability and material consistency. The color variations and incorrect material ratios hindered production, demanding an advanced powder processing solution.

The Challenge: Achieving Precision in Powder Blending

A leading manufacturer faced a formulation hurdle: their metal powders lacked uniformity, affecting printability and material consistency. The color variations and incorrect material ratios hindered production, demanding an advanced powder processing solution.

The APS Solution: Precision Powder Blending

Enter Advanced Powder Solutions (APS), a trusted name in powder contract manufacturing. As a sister company of GEMCO, APS specializes in industrial powder mixing across various industries. To tackle this challenge, APS leveraged GEMCO’s Formulator, a versatile blending and drying system designed to optimize powder flow and consistency.

Using the 3 CF Formulator, APS conducted rigorous formulation development tests. The goal? To enhance blending efficiency and ensure high-quality powder flow.

Safety First: Handling Combustible Metal Powders

Since metal powders are combustible and pose an explosion hazard, APS implemented strict safety protocols. The Formulator was purged with nitrogen, eliminating fire risks and ensuring a controlled processing environment.

The Results: Superior Powder Performance

The results were remarkable. The processed powders exhibited significant improvements in uniformity and flowability, solving the customer’s blending challenges. APS and GEMCO’s cutting-edge technology not only met expectations but set new industry standards for precision powder processing.

Conclusion: Advancing High-Tech Manufacturing

Thanks to APS and GEMCO’s Formulator, manufacturers can now achieve consistent, high-quality metal powder blending. This partnership showcases the power of advanced technology in industrial powder processing, paving the way for innovation and excellence.
