Advantage Metal Powders expands powder blending capacity

Installation of the blender increases the company’s lot blending capacity from 45,000lbs to 60,000lbs

Advantage Metal Powders, Inc., a specialist supplier of virgin and remill metal powder mixes, has installed a new 60,000 lb (27,215 kg) powder blender at its facility in Ridgway, Pennsylvania, USA. Supplied by Sinterite, a Gasbarre Furnace Group Company, the blender consists of an opposed/double cone design with a maximum metal powder volume of 450 ft3 (12.7 m3) and allows for a consistent blend in larger lot sizes.

The cones themselves are made of carbon steel, fabricated on-site at the Sinterite facility. The unit operates on a 200 HP motor with a gear to gear drive train and features a cycle timer, adjustable speed control and variable speed reducer. It is accompanied by a steel access platform, which was also fabricated at the Sinterite facility.
