The HK VacuSift Powder Conveying and Sifting System combines a vacuum system with the HK sifting systems to match the application and to provide a flexible, high-throughput unit that quickly processes powder after being vacuumed directly out of a 3D printer bed, bulk bag, super sack, drum, IBC, or similar container.  

The HK sifting system, paired with the vacuum system, can either be a standard sifting system, an ultrasonic sifting system, or a VertaBrute sifting system with the loose mesh deblinding feature. 

HK VacuSift Powder Conveying and Sifting System Details

• The HK VacuSift streamlines powder handling by combining powerful sieving technology with a built-in vacuum system, ensuring faster throughput, and easy material recovery - ideal for manufacturers processing small to medium batches of metal powder. 

• Choose the right fit for your process with flexible sifting system options, including the HKC Dual Drive, HKC Dual Drive with Ultrasonics, and the VertaBrute - delivering tailored performance for your application. 

• Maximize material efficiency with a high-performance vacuum system that seamlessly conveys material from boxes, bulk bags, gaylords, drums, IBCs, and other containers. 

• Optimize print quality by sieving virgin powder with the optional optional sieving systems with deblinding solutions, ensuring consistency and reliability before every build. 

• Compatible with the most common 3D printer technologies—including Powder Bed Fusion (PBF), Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), Electron Beam Melting (EBM), and Binder Jetting—for seamless integration into your additive workflow. 

• Engineered with IP66 and NEMA 4 ratings as standard, with optional explosion-proof upgrades to ensure safety and compliance in electrically classified zones and applications. 

HK VacuSift Powder Conveying and Sifting System Benefits

• Reclaim powder directly from the print bed with quick, dust-free recovery—maximizing material utilization and reducing waste. 

• Streamline operations with an ergonomic design that eliminates manual powder handling and labor-intensive recovery processes. 

• Simplify maintenance with easy-to-access features for cleaning, servicing, and replacing parts. 

• Ensure material integrity with oversized discharge outlets on the sifters, efficiently removing foreign debris and oversized particles from powders. 

• Optimize your builds by sieving virgin powders from containers before production, ensuring only clean, consistent material enters the process.
