Industrial Vacuum Cleaners for ADDITIVE PRINTING

3D ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING, an innovative and fast growing sector

This new technology is spreading rapidly in the fields of engineering and prototyping.

Due to its extreme precision, low cost and speed of execution, this technology is used for the production of prototypes, special low-series and customized parts.

During the process of operation of additive techniques SLM (Selective Laser Melting) e DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) RGS vacuum cleaners are extracting explosive and unsafe dust. Equipped with a system of recovery and screening of unused dust allow the reuse of dust in other printing processes, given the high costs of the same.

What functions does the vacuum cleaner have?

Cleaning of finished parts

To allow dust recovery.

Printer cleaning

To avoid cross-contamination of different types of dust.

Cleanliness of the working environment

To keep the contamination level low.

RGS RANGE, for plastic or metal powders of 3D printers

RGS vacuum cleaners are designed to offer the maximum safety, ease of use and sturdy for the maintenance of 3D printers.

Vacuum cleaners for NON CONDUCTIVE EXPLOSIVE DUSTS

All ATEX Z22 machines are suitable. These models are recommended for compactness reasons.

These kinds of dust are usually the plastic ones.

Vacuum cleaner for EXPLOSIVE CONDUCTIVE DUSTS

We recommend the AD36X2 1D/3D, compressed air machine with ATEX Z20 internal and Z22 external certification.

This kind of dust, are the metallic ones,therefore more dangerous.

Vacuum cleaner for EXPLOSIVE CONDUCTIVE or REACTIVE DUSTS

We recommend the models A21PMINX1.3D, AD36INX1.3D and A346/60EPINX1.3D equipped with liquid inertization system.

This type of dust, are the reactive metallic ones, therefore even more dangerous.

RGS ADDITIVE VACUUM MANUFACTURING,
the vacuum cleaner for the maintenance and cleaning of your metal powder 3D printer.

Our best ATEX vacuum cleaner with immersion container for the recollection of metal dust in total safety.

Operation of our immersion vacuum cleaner

  • The sucked metal powder runs through the diving deflector and is conveyed into the inertizing liquid with which it mixes.
  • The powder remains trapped in the liquid as the purified air rises, passes through the PPI mist filter, passes through the hole continues towards the coalescencing cartridge placed
    under the cover.

 

A21PMINX1.3D

ATEX certifi ed vacuum cleaner specifi cally designed to inertize reactive and potentially explosive metal powders with liquid. This kind of metal powders are used in laser sintering in 3D printers.

The special liquid bath (water or oil) ensures that the dust that will be aspirated can not react and ignite, or worse, explode.

The practical drain tap placed on the tank, allows to empty the machine from the liquid without effort by the user. The parts in contact in brushed stainless steel, in addition to making the appearance of the machine extremely pleasant, guarantees a longer life of materials and an intrinsic safety from the risk of shock ignition.

A safety (or vent) valve is located on the tank to ensure that if water is used as the inerting liquid, the dangerous hydrogen concentration (developed through hydrolysis) is expelled if aluminium powder is recovered.

The vacuum cleaner then has a coalescence fi lter that retains any vapours that might be generated as a result of turbulence produced by air refl ux.

AD36INX1.3D

ATEX certified vacuum cleaner specifically designed to inertize reactive and potentially explosive metal powders with liquid. This kind of metal powders are used in laser sintering in 3D printers.

The special liquid bath (water or oil) ensures that the dust that will be aspirated cannot react and ignite, or worse, explode.

The practical drain tap placed on the tank on wheels allows the user to empty the machine of the liquid without effort. The parts in contact with brushed stainless steel, in addition to making the appearance of the machine extremely pleasant, guarantee a longer life of materials and intrinsic safety from the risk of shock ignition.

A safety (or vent) valve is located on the tank to ensure that if water is used as the inerting liquid, the dangerous hydrogen concentration (developed through hydrolysis) is expelled if aluminum powder is recovered.

The vacuum cleaner then has a coalescence filter that retains any vapors that might be generated as a result of turbulence produced by air reflux.
