Ultrasonic Atomization Aluminum Metal Powder Production Facility

The ultrasonic atomization aluminum metal powder production system developed by Garanti Ultrasonik is an industrial production facility designed to produce aluminum powder in fine particle sizes and spherical shape using high-frequency ultrasonic technology. The system integrates metal melting, ultrasonic atomization, rapid cooling with nitrogen gas, powder recovery, HEPA filtration, ultrasonic sieving, and automation stages into a single production line. The target is to produce 20 kg per hour of spherical aluminum powder in the 0-5 micron range. The ultrasonic atomization unit is expected to operate in the 80-100 kHz frequency range, focusing on fine particle production at around 100 kHz.

Operating Principle

Aluminum ingots are melted into liquid metal using an induction melting system. The molten metal is transferred to the high-frequency ultrasonic atomization unit. Ultrasonic vibrations break the liquid metal into small droplets. These droplets rapidly solidify into spherical metal powder particles under a controlled nitrogen gas atmosphere. The produced metal powders are collected through a recovery cyclone and a closed HEPA filtration system. In the final stage, a specially designed ultrasonic sieving system is used to separate fine particles in the 0-5 micron range.
