In the intricate process of smelting metals and alloys, atomization towers equipped with vacuum gas atomization systems have emerged as indispensable tools. In April 2023, Wenzhou Sote Pharmaceutical & Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd. dispatched several large - scale atomization towers, underscoring their growing significance in industrial applications.
1. Vacuum Gas Atomization: The Core Process
The vacuum gas atomization system operates under a vacuum - sealed, gas - protected environment, ensuring optimal conditions for melting metals and alloys. Here’s how it works:
- Molten metal, contained within a heat - retaining crucible, flows through a delivery nozzle.
- High - pressure gas jets from specialized nozzles shatter the liquid metal stream into numerous tiny droplets.
- As these droplets fall, they rapidly solidify into spherical or sub - spherical particles.
- Through a screening and separation process, metal powders of various particle sizes are produced, ready for downstream applications.
2. Versatile Production Capacity
Our atomization tower systems support a wide production range, from 5 kg to 1000 kg per batch. They are capable of manufacturing metal powders from diverse materials, including:
Moreover, we offer custom - built solutions. Whether you provide technical drawings or specific requirements, our team can engineer atomization towers tailored to your exact needs.
3. Key Features of the Vacuum Gas Atomization System
- 🔹 Uniform Microstructure: The rapid solidification of droplets eliminates segregation, resulting in powders with consistent composition and enhanced mechanical properties.
- 🔹 Advanced Heating & Refining: Using ceramic or graphite crucibles heated by medium - frequency induction, the system melts alloys while advanced refining and clean - flow technologies purify the material.
- 🔹 Precision Atomization: Our supersonic close - coupled gas atomization nozzles enable the production of ultra - fine powders, meeting stringent industry standards for high - performance applications.
- 🔹 Efficient Collection: The two - stage cyclone separation system maximizes fine - powder yield while minimizing dust emissions, ensuring both productivity and environmental compliance.
In conclusion, atomization towers equipped with vacuum gas atomization systems redefine metal powder production, offering efficiency, precision, and customization. Whether for research or large - scale manufacturing, these systems provide the reliability and flexibility industries demand.
