R26
Secure. Unload. Reuse.
The dry pre-separator for additive manufacturing: The R26 protects components, recovers valuable metal powder, and makes post-processing faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective—as an intelligent pre-separator positioned before the wet separator.
The R26 is a dry pre-separator for additive manufacturing designed to reliably recover metal powder. It gently separates excess powder before the wet separator, reducing contamination and maintenance requirements. For post-processing operations that minimize powder loss, protect components, and improve cost-effectiveness.
The R26 reduces the load on downstream systems where it matters most operationally: before the wet separator. The metal powder is separated in a dry state before it comes into contact with liquid. As a result, wet separators stay cleaner, maintenance intervals are extended, and waste volumes are significantly reduced.
The result is not a spectacular effect, but rather quiet, stable operation: less cleaning effort, fewer downtimes, lower costs. The process becomes more predictable—and that is precisely where its strength lies.
Less pollution
- – Very little powder in the wet separator, which means less cleaning and maintenance.
Longer maintenance intervals
- – Clean fluid means longer intervals between service visits.
Lower disposal costs
- – Less contaminated liquid reduces the effort and costs associated with disposal.
