Our portfolio of advanced materials systems are designed for global markets, ensuring that all PSI systems fully meet our clients’ international and specific local legislation needs, including but not limited to operational safety, service infrastructure, seismic zone resilience, and environmental protection standards.

Atomisation Systems

Our range of close-coupled vacuum inert gas atomisation systems (VIGA) are designed to enhance your powder production facility by optimising operational efficiencies and greatly increasing fine powder yields.

Rapid Solidification

Discover our range of rapid solification technologies, designed to produce a variety of material morphologies. The range includes melt spinners, arc melters, wirecasters, quench rigs and planar flow casters.

Powder Classifiers

Designed for the safe handling of pyrophoric, expensive and high grade powders. Our powder classifiers and glove box option eliminate contamination of the powder and are designed with re-circulating gas.

Melt Spinners

High performance melt spinner systems are designed to produce amorphous and microcrystalline metallic ribbons under varying atmospheric conditions. These systems have been developed for the production of magnetic materials such as Neodynium-Iron-Boron (NdFeB) sintered magnets.

Fluidised Beds

Our fluidised bed reactors combine operational excellence and our industry leading knowledge of powder production technology. The AM industry and the continuing development of advanced powders benefit from FBR capabilities to enhance and optimise characteristics of powder morphologies.

Deposition Coaters

Novel technologies designed for innovative solutions. Incorporating our expertise in vacuum and deposition systems, we’ve developed EB-CVD equipment for coating aircraft turbine blades with thermal barrier coatings and CVD coating facilities for a range of materials including Silicon.
