Water Atomization Equipment

The water atomization equipment uses high-pressure water as a medium to atomize metal liquid into powder particles, so as to produce various metal powders.

Because water is more viscous than gas and has a strong cooling capacity, water atomization is particularly suitable for producing metals and alloy powders with higher melting points, as well as irregular powders with good compressibility.

Water atomization equipment is a kind of powder manufacturing equipment with low production cost, simple process flow and it’s easy to master technology.

We can provide 10~1000 kg class high pressure water atomization equipment, for producing iron based powder, nickel based powder, copper based powder, silver based powder and other alloy powders. The water atomization equipment can be customized according to the special requirements of customer as well.

The metal powder produced by water atomization is irregular in shape and has high oxygen content. The oxygen content of powder needs to be reduced by deoxygenation reduction process.

Water atomization equipment is mainly composed of melting system, atomization system, high pressure water system, tundish system, discharge system, control system and so on.

The atomizer is the key component of water atomizing powder making equipment. The design of atomizer is related to the pulverizing efficiency of metal powder. In the traditional high-pressure water atomization process, metal powder can be continuously collected, but a small amount of metal powder is lost with atomized water. This part of metal powder can be recovered through multi-level precipitation, filtration and other recovery measures, by doing this can minimize the loss of metal powder.
