Atmospheric plasma surface treatment is now a well-known technology in the industrial world. Offering eco-responsible solutions that are also cost-competitive, the USE of this technology continues to grow in all industrial sectors.
Additive manufacturing has also been expanding in recent years, and the need to improve the upstream performance of powders is becoming a key factor in the expansion of what is possible in 3D printing. But many other application areas are also interested in powder processing, including the medical and pharmaceutical sectors, and the polymer industry….
Atmospheric plasma treatment of powders is very promising, as it enables the surface energy of the powders to be modified to improve their wettability or, conversely, their ability not to agglomerate.
To achieve this plasma treatment easily and economically, AcXys Technologies has developed equipment that operates at atmospheric pressure. The equipment, called P-MIX, makes it possible to treat different powders by increasing or decreasing their surface energy.
