GREENSTONE Dual-Hopper Laser Cladding Powder Feeder System
Presentation of the equipment's characteristics
The GREENSTONE GSTP-PFD is a high-precision dual-canister powder feeding system engineered for laser cladding, directed energy deposition (DED), and metal additive manufacturing applications.
Equipped with two independent powder canisters and precision pneumatic powder conveying technology, the system enables accurate delivery of one or two powder materials with feeding accuracy up to ±1%. It supports stable long-distance powder transportation while minimizing powder accumulation, pipeline blockage, and material waste.
The dual-canister configuration allows rapid switching between different powders or controlled mixing of alloy materials, making it ideal for multi-material processing, gradient material deposition, surface engineering, repair applications, and automated laser cladding systems.
1. Independent Dual Powder Feeding Control
Two powder canisters operate independently, allowing single-powder feeding, dual-powder switching, or simultaneous powder blending for greater processing flexibility.
2. High-Precision Powder Delivery
The closed-loop control system combined with precision mass-flow regulation provides powder feeding accuracy up to ±1%, ensuring excellent coating consistency and deposition quality.
3. Multi-Material Processing Capability
Supports rapid switching or proportional mixing of different metal powders, making it suitable for functionally graded materials, alloy development, and advanced DED applications.
4. Wide Powder Compatibility
Compatible with metal powders, alloy powders, ceramic powders, and composite materials ranging from 20–300 mesh. The optimized powder conveying system ensures smooth and stable feeding performance.
5. Stable Long-Distance Powder Conveying
Advanced pneumatic conveying technology minimizes powder deposition, reduces pipeline blockage, and maintains stable powder flow during continuous industrial operation.
6. Fully Enclosed Powder Protection
The sealed powder canister design protects powders from moisture, oxidation, and environmental contamination, improving powder utilization efficiency and long-term storage stability.
7. Industrial Automation Integration
Supports I/O and TCP/IP communication interfaces for seamless integration with CNC systems, industrial robots, and automated laser cladding production lines.
8. Optional Functional Configurations
Optional powder heating, stirring, continuous powder refill, and customized control functions are available to meet various industrial processing requirements.
