Powder transfer in the PHS device

Sinterit Powder Handling Station was created to keep all SLS printing processes in one place. Now it is easier than ever
to control the entire printing process for one person.
The Sinterit Powder Handling Station is a device for fast, effective, and ergonomic powder management from Sinterit
printers. The device allows removing the printout and powder from the printer, cleaning the printout, sifting and mixing
the powder so that it is ready for the next loading of the printer for printing.
The device can work only with the Sinterit ATEX Vacuum Cleaner, creating a set with it.
The Sinterit ATEX Vacuum Cleaner is the only source of vacuum which is needed for efficient powder circulation in the
PHS machine. The user needs to follow the recommendations below, only then the process is fast and effective and
powder losses are minimal.
