The BL AM is an industrial vacuum for conductive metal dust designed for additive manufacturing and other applications where fine metal powders require a higher level of collection safety. Powered by a high-performance single-phase brushless motor, it delivers strong suction with lower maintenance and reliable operation in demanding dust-control environments.
To handle potentially explosive conductive metal powders more safely, the BL AM uses an inertization system that immerses the vacuumed material directly into a bath of inert liquid inside the container. A large-surface H13 antistatic conical filter helps protect the motor, while additional filtration inside the container supports safer operation during conductive metal dust collection. Inside the inerting container, a metal grid filter captures sparks and a nylon separation filter helps separate the collected metal powder from the inert liquid for recovery and reuse.
The container is built from AISI 304 stainless steel and includes a front inspection window so operators can monitor liquid level during use. A patented quick-connect system allows the container to be removed and reinstalled without tools, while an overpressure valve allows gas to escape in the event of a reaction between the powder and the liquid. The exhausted liquid can then be discharged by gravity through a convenient drain tap at the bottom of the container.
The result is a more specialized additive manufacturing vacuum for conductive and potentially explosive metal dust, built to support safer collection, powder recovery, and cleaner operation in dust-critical environments.
The vacuum unit features a robust brushless motor, perfect for continuous operation. It includes two filters on the vacuum cleaner head: one to shield the motor and another positioned at the air outlet. The discharged air is completely free of carbon.
Filtration is ensured by a durable polyester cartridge filter. This cartridge is designed to maintain a large filter surface area within a compact space, allowing air to flow through even when the filter is dirty. The filter is certified class H (BIA | EN 60335-2-69), protecting both the motors and the operator.
The container is IIIC-certified and features a conductive metal powder inerting oil bath system. It includes various filtration levels to ensure maximum safety across all areas of application.
Installed on the vacuum chamber, the hydrogen vent valve enhances operator safety by releasing any gases that may accumulate inside the vacuum cleaner.
