The Metco LSF800 is a cutting-edge solution for continuously and precisely feeding suspension feedstock materials in thermal spray applications within production settings.
Traditional thermal spray powder feeders often struggle with micron and nanostructured powders due to their reliance on carrier gases, making it difficult to achieve the advanced coating structures that modern industries demand. The ability to feed these liquids smoothly, without pulsation, while keeping the powder particles suspended is vital for ensuring consistent and reliable coating outcomes. Its impressive high-pressure capability sets the LSF800 apart in the thermal spray sector, which accommodates a diverse array of applications and suspensions. This feature significantly boosts deposition efficiency, especially for Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBC).
The Metco LSF800 operates without pulsation, ensuring a stable suspension free from sedimentation. It is compatible with water and ethanol suspensions and can handle solid-phase powders, including ceramics, metals, alloys, carbides, and cermets. Designed for easy maintenance and seamless operation, the LSF800 includes a built-in cleaning system that prevents suspension injector clogs.
Furthermore, its advanced controller integration with UniCoat3 and MultiCoat5 enhances precision, control, and monitoring of the coating process, guaranteeing exceptional performance and reliability. The Metco LSF800 can function as a standalone feeder with any existing atmospheric plasma spray system, making it the perfect choice for continuous feeding in R&D, prototyping, and production environments.
