A significant advantage of the system is its scalability. As standard, the AMF 200 offers a volume flow of up to 200 m³/h at a negative pressure of 10,500 Pa (N2, 50°C) / 15,000 Pa (Ar, 50°C). However, the AMF 200 can be variably adapted to higher or lower gas flows - regardless of the supplier and installation volume of the 3D printer.

In addition to the small footprint of 800 x 1200 mm and simple operation, the contamination-free filter and powder handling is a further advantage of the AFM 200. Employees do not come into contact with powders or condensates at any time and are therefore protected from skin irritation or allergic reactions.

The system can be operated both as a slave with an I/O system and as a stand-alone machine with its own specially configured control system. Additional features, including automated filter cleaning, use of a side-channel compressor with a mounted frequency converter or the use of various sensors (differential pressure filter stages, filter cell fill level, oxygen, volume flow, temperature) round off the overall package as a sustainable and effective solution for metal additive manufacturing.

Further system features

• Cartridge filter size optionally selectable according to dust load
• Filter cleaning via jet pulse
• High safety and high containment when removing used filter cells
• Control operation as a slave with I/O system or as a stand-alone machine with its own control system
• Small footprint
• Operation with or without dosing of filter aids possible
• Equipment: Frame with housing on rollers; standard: 2 filter cells with 5 m² filter area each and dust collection volume up to 60 l; larger filter cells with 10 m² filter area each possible
• Use of a police filter for pre-separation of coarse dust
• Side channel compressor with mounted frequency converter
• Various sensors (differential pressure filter stages, filling level filter cell, oxygen, volume flow, temperature)
• Shut-off of process gas inlet and outlet via pinch valves
• Integrated fieldbus modules

The system is unique worldwide and cannot be compared with any competitor product. More than 20 years of experience in the field of additive manufacturing went into the development of the gas cleaning system at ULT. The system guarantees contamination-free filter and powder handling - setting a new international standard in terms of occupational safety.
