We have been working with traditional plasma spray  (oerlikon Metco) since 2001 and high power Axial Plasma Spray (Axial feed of feed stock material) since 2013.
We have a lot of experience of Axial Plaasma Spray and we have been working with powder as feed stock (APS, Atmopheric Plasma Spray), Suspension Plsama Spray with the feed stock in the form of finne powder in ethanol or water, and even Solution Precurser Plasme Spray where the feedstock material is in the forrm of "salts".

We have extencive experience with the Axial Plasma Spray system and will be able to support you in a process of purchase, installation and startup of a system like that.
 

M600 Axial III Plasma Spray Torch

Axial III Plasma Spray System is a high power, high efficiency torch
with injection of feedstock materials directly into the centre of plasma
plume – axial injection.
The system is built around the Axial III plasma spray torch and
process. Axial III may be used in Atmospheric Plasma Spray (APS) or
Suspension Plasma Spray (SPS).

The main features of the system are:
 Three built-in arc chambers with converging plasma channels
 Central injection of feedstock into converged plasma plume,
 Stable and controlled output power range from 30 kW to 150 kW
 Three-gas plasma chemistry (Ar, N2, H2/He) with continuous control,
 Capability of spraying at very high feed rates,
 High deposition efficiencies for all materials,
 Small spray footprint for reduced overspray, 


Axial-III System is a field-proven plasma spray product for both conventional industrial coatings and high-performance applications such as graded coatings, reactive metal spraying, high temperature ceramics and spray forming.

COST-SAVING MULTI-APPLICATION TECHNOLOGY
Due to its unique axial injection, the Axial-III System has significantly higher deposition efficiencies, higher spray rates, better coating quality, and better control of coating properties than many other competing solutions.
Axial III spray technology provides a wide spectrum of applications and the same torch can be used in a wide variety of applications, from ceramics and carbides to plastics, and reactive metal spraying, blended coatings and graded coatings.
 
The Axial III System can deliver substantial savings on both powder and operating costs over other non-axially injected systems due to its superior deposition rates and efficiency.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Ability to spray all materials from plastics to ceramics
Ability to spray fine powders, <10µm
Ability to spray nanopowders in suspension
Oblique angle spraying of cermets and ceramics
Control of plasma velocities from low to supersonic
Ability to spray reactive and blended powders

NANOFEED 350 SUSPENSION DELIVERY SYSTEM

NanoFeed TM line of liquid and suspension feeders for spray industry has been developed to enable delivery of submicron powders to thermal spray torches. The NanoFeed delivery systems provide an efficient and controllable way to deliver ultrafine powders to the torch whenever delivery of the same materials in dry form is not possible.  
Nanofeed 350 has been designed for R&D and small spray shop markets. Its low tank volume significantly reduces suspension waste and simplifies cleaning procedures without compromising functionality of the device. 
NanoFeed 350 model is a fully automatic, computer controlled device.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Ability to transport sub-micron powders over long distance
Ability to atomize liquids
Full integration with Axial III control system,
Microprocessor controlled,
Precise control of suspension flow rate,
Continuous monitoring of suspension density,
Control of atomizing gas flow (Through Axial III control system),
Continuous monitoring and displaying of process variables,
Datalog of process variables,
Real time trending of process variables.
