Abstract
A fluidized powder heat treatment classification assembly includes a gas source. A fluidized bed is connected to the gas source via a metered connection. The fluidized bed includes a first output connected to a powder classifier via at least a first valve. The powder classifier includes a catch container operable to decelerate a gas flow from the output and operable to catch particles entrained in the gas flow.
Claims10
A fluidized powder heat treatment classification assembly comprising:
- a gas source;
- a fluidized bed connected to the gas source via a metered connection;
- the fluidized bed including a first output connected to a powder classifier via at least a first valve;
- the powder classifier including a catch container operable to decelerate a gas flow from the output and operable to catch particles entrained in the gas flow;
- and
- an output line connecting the fluidized bed to the first valve and a vibrator coupled to the output line, the vibrator being configured to vibrate the output line.
