The AT-1200 Powder Feeder from Thermach is a critical component in the thermal spray process, ensuring consistent coating quality and operational efficiency through its advanced features and precise control mechanisms. Here's how it achieves this:
Consistent Coating Quality: The AT-1200 ensures a stable and accurate powder feed, which is vital for maintaining uniform coating thickness and high-quality finishes. Its digital closed-loop controller allows for precise metering of powder, achieving an accuracy of ±2 grams per minute, which is crucial for consistent coatings. For increased accuracy and data collection, the addition of the weight loss system is available.
Enhanced Process Control: With its capability for remote operation via PLC or computer, the AT-1200 provides flexible and precise control over feed rates. This feature is essential for applications requiring strict adherence to specific coating properties and tolerances.
Flexibility in Material Usage: The feeder is designed to handle a wide variety of powder types, including metals, ceramics, and alloys. Its versatile powder wheel configurations and tamper assembly ensure that different materials can be fed accurately, supporting a broad range of coating applications. Various powder wheel options can be selected based on the powder selected and desired flow rates.
Operational Efficiency: The robust construction and modular design of the AT-1200 minimize maintenance needs and downtime. Features like quick-change canisters and the rugged, precision-machined components contribute to long-term reliability and continuous operation.
Optimized Coating Properties: By providing a consistent and controlled powder flow, the AT-1200 helps achieve the desired microstructure and mechanical properties of the coating. This precision is essential for producing coatings with optimal performance and durability.
The AT-1200 Powder Feeder plays a pivotal role in the thermal spray process by ensuring precise, consistent, and reliable powder delivery. The standard AT-1200 has a canister capacity of 205 cubic inches and an operating pressure of up to 90 psi. Extended capacity feeders, and high pressure (up to 150 psi) models are also available to meet your specific needs.
