New compact solution for gas purification in additive manufacturing

At the formnext trade show, ULT introduced the new, handy gas cleaning system AMF 60. It is a modular, compact and gas-tight extraction and filtration system that is suitable for all inert gases (e.g. nitrogen, argon, helium).

In addition to easy operation as well as safe maintenance and service, the AMF 60 guarantees low process costs and long filter service lives. The mobile and flexible system is equipped with a HEPA-H14 and offers a very high filtration performance of >99.995%, which means that the cleaned air can be returned to the work area. The passivable storage filters allow contamination-free handling of highly flammable and health-endangering process pollutants.

The gas purification system can be integrated as a slave with I/O system or used as a stand-alone solution with CULT™ control. This specially developed new control includes standard components such as a timer for setting the running times or data log functions. Modular extensions, e.g. sensor monitoring of all process parameters or customizable post-filters, round off the functionality of the system.

Due to its compact design, the AMF 60 requires a small footprint of only 450x640 mm. Thanks to its UL conformity and a wide voltage range between 90~250 VAC, the device can be utilized globally without any special adjustments.
