Breaking the Barriers of Micro Powder Delivery

Facing the growing challenge of micro-precision powder transport, Huirui-Laser’s R&D team adopted a problem-oriented innovation strategy. Targeting five critical “blank zones” — micro-fine powders, non-metallic powders, composite powders, crystalline powders, and large-volume continuous operations — the company developed three breakthrough product lines:

  • PFH Series Active Powder Feeders
  • Micro-Fine Powder Feeders
  • Electromagnetic Disk Powder Feeders

Each of these series has undergone successful validation in collaboration with leading industrial enterprises, proving their high stability, precision, and adaptability.

Today, Huirui-Laser has built a complete full-scenario powder delivery matrix, covering everything from conventional powders to extreme-condition materials. This enables clients to achieve end-to-end process optimization, from laboratory R&D to mass production, reaching nano-level precision, micron-level control, and millimeter-level responsiveness.

01. PFH Series Active Powder Feeder — Designed for Ultra-Pure and Sensitive Environments

The PFH Series Active Powder Feeder utilizes Huirui-Laser’s proprietary disk-gas powder feeding technology, engineered specifically for industries requiring extreme control over oxygen, moisture, and impurity levels, such as semiconductor manufacturing.

An independent sealed chamber combined with a 316L stainless-steel powder barrel provides outstanding corrosion resistance and airtightness, effectively isolating air, moisture, and contaminants. Even when opened, the feeder maintains a clean internal environment. The system’s high-purity carrier gas protection ensures long-term powder quality and boosts yield rates and production efficiency.

Key Technical Advantages
  1. Ultra-Clean Delivery Environment – Sealed chamber with full carrier-gas protection prevents contamination.
  2. High-Precision, Stable Feeding – CNC-machined rotating disk and drive shaft enable precise, repeatable delivery.
  3. Multi-Scenario Adaptability – Adjustable feeding disks cover particle sizes from 20–800 μm.
  4. Extended Operation – 5 L capacity supports long, uninterrupted runs.
  5. Corrosion-Resistant & Portable Design – Modular build suits both laboratory and production settings.
  6. Smart Modular Integration – Compact form saves 30% space, simplifies control by 50%, and supports OPC UA / MES connectivity.
  7. Zero-Leakage Sealing – Vacuum-tight chamber ensures stability under extreme conditions.
