What your process engineer actually checks
Longer runs per load
Up to 1200 mm of total rod length in the extended tube container means the atomizer runs longer between reloads — higher throughput and less operator time than single-rod feeding.
Secure, repeatable grip
Self-locking collets sized 4, 6, 8 and 10 mm hold round rods close to nominal diameter, so feeding stays consistent from rod to rod across a long run.

About this product
ATO Multi Rod Feeding System is an accessory for ATO ultrasonic atomizers that feeds multiple rods per load — round rods from 4 to 10 mm diameter, held in self-locking collets, up to 1200 mm of total rod length in an extended tube container — for longer, less-attended atomization runs.
Why feed multiple rods
More rod loaded per cycle means longer runs and fewer interruptions than single-rod feeding.
Up to 1200 mm total length
Loads multiple rods — or several sections — up to 1200 mm of total length in an extended tube container, for longer continuous runs.
4–10 mm round rods
Feeds round rods from 4 to 10 mm diameter, held in self-locking collets sized 4, 6, 8 and 10 mm for a secure, repeatable grip.
Longer, less-attended runs
More feedstock per load means the atomizer runs longer between reloads — higher throughput with less operator involvement.
ATO-native accessory
Designed exclusively for ATO ultrasonic atomizers and integrated into the atomization process for repeatable, spherical powder.

How the Multi Rod feeder runs
Load more, feed longer — built for higher-throughput rod atomization.
Step 01
Load the rods
Fit round rods, 4–10 mm, into the matching self-locking collets — up to 1200 mm of total length.
Step 02
Continuous rod feed
Rods feed in sequence into the ultrasonic atomizer at optimized parameters to produce spherical powder.
Step 03
Longer runs, fewer reloads
More feedstock per load keeps the atomizer producing longer between operator interventions.

Not sure which atomizer fits your alloy?
We run custom batches too. Try before you build the capability.
Want to validate an alloy before buying the system? Our ATO lab runs a custom batch for you in 3–4 weeks — biocompatible, refractory, proprietary — so you see real powder before committing to in-house atomization.

ATO Sieve Ultrasonic Powder Sieving Station – Inert Argon Atmosphere | 3D Lab
The ATO Sieve is an ultrasonic powder sieving station that screens reactive and non-reactive metal AM powder inside an inert argon atmosphere — the same ATO container transfers powder straight from an ATO atomizer, so it never sees oxygen.
- ✓ High-frequency ultrasonic vibration — prevents mesh clogging, keeps throughput high
- ✓ Sieves under inert argon; optional oxygen sensor for reactive metals (Ti, Al, Zr)
- ✓ Direct ATO-container transfer from ATO Lab Plus / ATO Sparq — no air exposure

What does the ATO Multi Rod Feeding System do?
The ATO Multi Rod Feeding System is an accessory for ATO ultrasonic atomizers that feeds multiple round rods per load into the melt. It handles rods from 4 to 10 mm diameter held in self-locking collets, and an extended tube container takes up to 1200 mm of total rod length. Loading more feedstock per cycle lets the atomizer run longer with fewer reloads, raising throughput for rod-based powder production.
What rod sizes and lengths does it take?
The Multi Rod Feeding System accepts round rods from 4 to 10 mm in diameter, close to the nominal collet sizes of 4, 6, 8 and 10 mm. Using the extended tube container, the maximum total length of a single rod, or the sum of several rod sections, is 1200 mm. This lets you load a long run of feedstock at once.
How is it different from the Single Rod Feeding System?
The Single Rod feeder takes one rod of 1 to 10 mm diameter up to 110 mm long and is aimed at small-batch and trial work, including cast rods and custom shapes. The Multi Rod feeder takes round rods of 4 to 10 mm and up to 1200 mm of total length across several rods, so the atomizer runs much longer between reloads. Choose Multi Rod for higher-throughput rod atomization.
What are the self-locking collets for?
The self-locking collets, sized 4, 6, 8 and 10 mm, hold each round rod securely and close to its nominal diameter. A consistent grip keeps the feed repeatable from rod to rod across a long run, which helps maintain steady atomization and consistent spherical powder. Additive Plus configures the collet set to match your rod feedstock.
Which atomizers is it compatible with?
The Multi Rod Feeding System is an optional accessory designed exclusively for ATO ultrasonic atomizers, such as ATO Lab Plus and ATO Sparq. It is not a standalone unit — it feeds rod into an ATO atomizer. Additive Plus configures it to match your specific atomizer, collet sizes and throughput goals.
What is the lead time and how is it priced?
The ATO Multi Rod Feeding System is configured to order and priced per configuration, including the collet set, so pricing and lead time depend on your atomizer and feedstock. Request a quote and an Additive Plus applications engineer will confirm the right configuration, current lead time and a full quotation — usually with a sub-4h first response.
