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

Solukon simplifies powder handling with Piab’s piFLOW®i for safer, fully automated depowdering

Solukon, a German manufacturer of automated depowdering systems for 3D printing, faced the challenge of handling large quantities of metal powder safely and efficiently after the depowdering process. To automate this powder handling and meet stringent safety requirements, Solukon integrated the piFLOW®i vacuum conveyor from Piab into their new Powder Collection Unit.

The solution implemented by Piab used their vacuum conveyor to automatically transport powder through a closed system, eliminating manual handling. This resulted in a safer process that meets occupational health standards and a more efficient operation with faster powder transfer. The reliable performance of Piab's equipment helped Solukon achieve a new milestone on their path toward a dust-free factory.
