The Gravity powder feeder is a low-maintenance laser cladding powder feeder developed for applications that require simple operation, stable and controllable powder delivery, and easy servicing. Its simplified gravity-fed architecture minimizes mechanical complexity while supporting repeatable powder flow for laser cladding, laser metal deposition (LMD), and powder-fed directed energy deposition (DED).
Powder can be replenished while the feeder is operating, helping reduce process interruptions during long-duration or repeated cladding tasks. This in-process powder replenishment capability improves workflow continuity and supports efficient material deposition without adding unnecessary system complexity.
Critical wear components are manufactured from specially selected wear-resistant materials to support long service life and consistent performance. For manufacturers and system integrators seeking a gravity powder feeding system for continuous laser cladding and DED, this feeder combines stable powder delivery, straightforward maintenance, durable construction, and reliable industrial operation.
