Case Study: Solukon achieves safer, faster powder handling with Piab vacuum conveyors

Solukon safely automates powder handling with Piab in a 2.5 BSEK-backed industrial solution

Solukon, a German manufacturer of depowdering systems for additive manufacturing, faced a challenge in handling the large quantities of metal powder produced during automated depowdering. They needed a safe, efficient, and closed-system solution for collecting and transporting this powder. To address this, Solukon integrated Piab's piFLOW®i vacuum conveyor into their new Powder Collection Unit.

The solution from Piab provided a fully automated and enclosed powder handling system. This eliminated manual powder contact, significantly improving worker safety and meeting stringent health standards. The efficient Piab conveyor also sped up the powder removal process, increasing the overall depowdering efficiency for Solukon's customers and advancing their goal of a dust-free factory.
