ATO Clean Ultrasonic Cleaner for ATO Atomizer Components
Ultrasonic cleaning of every ATO atomizer component that touched powder — all parts at once, hands-free, in less than 30 minutes — so the next alloy starts clean.
- Removes residue between material groups — no carry-over into the next batch
- Double-filtration water system for a longer bath life
- Installation, training and US service included · free powder samples
- Lead time 8–12 weeks · 12-month warranty
What your process engineer actually checks
No cross-contamination between alloys
Ultrasonic cleaning of atomizer components between materials removes residual powder and films, so the next alloy is not contaminated by the last — essential for multi-material powder production.
Keep the atomizer at spec
Regular ultrasonic cleaning of wetted parts keeps the atomizer running to spec and extends component life, protecting powder quality run after run.
An applications engineer on the line
We run ATO ultrasonic atomization in-house through ATO Lab.
- ATO Clean ultrasonic cleaner, designed for the components of the ATO atomizer series
- Cleaning chamber sized to take all powder-contact components in one session
- Process parameters tuned by 3D Lab for ATO components
- Double-filtration system for the circulating water
- Simple controls and a user-friendly interface
- Installation and on-site operator training — included in every quotation
What the ATO Clean is
The ATO Clean is an ultrasonic cleaner from 3D Lab built for one job: cleaning the components of an ATO atomizer that come into contact with powder during atomization. Its chamber is large enough to take all of them at once, and the cycle finishes in less than 30 minutes, hands-free.
This step matters when you switch between material groups. Residual powder left on the parts would carry into the next batch and shift its composition; the ATO Clean removes it, so the next powder keeps the chemistry you intended. High-frequency sound waves create microscopic bubbles that lift residue from surfaces and hard-to-reach areas, and a double-filtration system removes impurities from the circulating water so the bath keeps its cleaning properties longer. 3D Lab launched the ATO Clean in 2022.

What it does in the powder workflow
The ATO Clean looks after the machine, not the powder. It earns its place wherever more than one material runs through the same atomizer:
| Alloy change-overs | switch material groups without carrying residue into the next batch |
| Multi-material labs | many alloys on a single atomizer |
| High-value powders | reactive and precious-metal batches kept free of the previous material |
| Contract work | clean components between customer jobs |
| Routine maintenance | repeatable cleaning instead of manual scrubbing |
Cleaner components also mean a more consistent surface finish on the parts themselves, because the ultrasound reaches areas a brush does not.
How an alloy change-over works
Where the ATO Clean stops — and what to take instead
The ATO Clean cleans atomizer components — it does not clean powder or feedstock. To remove fines, surface films and moisture from the powder itself, look at the ATO Pure. To clean wire and rods before they go into the melt, the ATO Wipe. To classify powder to a size cut under argon, the ATO Sieve, and to passivate reactive powder before handling, the Passivation Module. The ATO Clean is designed for ATO atomizer components; for other equipment, ask us before you order.
Make your own powder, measure it, print it
With clean components you can run several alloys on one ATO Lab or ATO Sparq: atomize, check size distribution and sphericity on a CAMSIZER X2+, print on an AO Metal LPBF printer, clean the atomizer, and start the next material. The atomizer, analyzer and printer are also offered together as the R&D Bundle.
See it running in California
Customers are welcome to see an ATO atomizer running in California, at UC Irvine (UCI). It is a practical way to judge ATO technology and the powder it makes before you plan the rest of the chain around it. Book a visit and we arrange the date with you.
