Sinterit Powder Separator

The Sinterit Powder Separator is a cyclone-type accessory for the Sinterit ATEX Vacuum Cleaner — the powder collection and cleaning system compatible with the Lisa, Lisa Pro, Lisa X, and Nils 480 SLS 3D printers by Sinterit. The powder separator connects between the vacuum cleaner and the suction nozzle to separate reusable SLS powder from unusable dust before it enters the vacuum, preventing contamination and preserving material quality for the next print job.

How the Sinterit Powder Separator Works

When connected to the Sinterit ATEX Vacuum Cleaner, the powder separator uses cyclone separation to split the airflow into two streams: heavier reusable powder particles fall into a 12-liter metal collection container, while fine dust and debris continue through to the vacuum cleaner's internal filter. This two-stage process recovers clean powder in approximately 10 minutes from the printer's build chamber and deposits it into the separator's tank, ready for transfer to the Sinterit Powder Sieve for screening and refreshing.

The complete powder handling workflow with the Sinterit Cleaning System follows three steps: vacuuming (approximately 10 minutes to collect powder from the print chamber), sieving and powder refreshing (approximately 18 minutes through the Sinterit Powder Sieve), and mixing the sieved powder with fresh material as indicated by Sinterit Studio software. The result is 10 liters of recycled powder ready for the next print.

What Is Included

• Powder separator body (cyclone unit)
• 12 L metal collection container with container lid and clamping ring
• Antistatic hose (32 mm diameter) with aluminium connector 50/32
• Grounding wire and grounding clamp
• Carrying handle
• User manual

Key Features

• Cyclone separation — separates reusable powder from fine dust and debris, ensuring recovered material quality
• 12-liter metal container — holds collected powder; contents transfer directly to the Sinterit Powder Sieve for screening
• Antistatic design — antistatic hose, grounding wire, and grounding clamp prevent static charge buildup when handling SLS powder
• Quick powder recovery — approximately 10 minutes to collect all powder from the print chamber
• Compatible printers — works with Sinterit Lisa, Lisa Pro, Lisa X, and Nils 480 via the Sinterit ATEX Vacuum Cleaner

Specifications

Important Notes

• The Sinterit Powder Separator is an integral part of the Sinterit Cleaning System and cannot be used alone or with another vacuum cleaner — it requires the Sinterit ATEX Vacuum Cleaner.
• Do not fill the metal container beyond 3/4 capacity to avoid powder passing through to the vacuum cleaner.
• The operator must wear antistatic clothes, antistatic shoes, protective gloves, and a face mask when working with SLS powder.
• Operating temperature: 0 °C to 45 °C, relative humidity not above 70%.
• Connect the grounding clamp to a conductive surface before use.
