The production of aluminium powder is a rather complicated process, with many different steps, but since 1982 Mavi has in a joint development with a major producer simplified the task in many ways.

Aluminium powder is used as part of explosives for the mining industrie, rockets fuel, surface covering and protection,etc.

Liquid aluminium is sprayed in a chamber through a ring tube and nozzles, fed with a special gas. This highly compressed gas transforms the liquid aluminium in tiny spheres, wich are later collected in a specially build Revitran conveyor, with a rare and specific internal lining.

The collected powder is cooled in a Mavicol helical vertical conveyor, also from Mavi and afterwards screened with Rotopen round screeners from Mavi.

The different materials are later processed to flakes, fine powders, etc, mainly by vibratory equipment.
