What your process engineer actually checks
Contamination stopped at the source
Oils, oxides and particulates on wire or rod raise oxygen and inclusions in the finished powder. ATO Wipe removes them before melting — ultrasonic cavitation plus mechanical brushing, deeper than a solvent wipe alone.
Native to the ATO suite
ATO Wipe installs directly upstream of atomization and pairs with ATO Lab Plus, ATO Sparq and the single- and multi-rod feeding systems. Feedstock cleaning, atomization, powder cleaning and sieving — one integrated chain.
An applications engineer on the line
We run ATO ultrasonic atomization in-house through ATO Lab. Feedstock prep, wire and rod handling, contamination questions — factory-trained engineers, sub-4h reply, NDA standard.
About this product
ATO Wipe is an ultrasonic wire-and-rod cleaning station that prepares feedstock before ultrasonic atomization — combining ultrasonic cleaning with mechanical brushing to strip oils, oxides and surface residues that would otherwise raise oxygen content and inclusions in the finished powder.
Why producers clean feedstock with ATO Wipe
Contamination on the wire or rod ends up in the melt pool. Removing it at the source protects powder chemistry and run-to-run repeatability.
Ultrasonic + mechanical cleaning
Cavitation reaches into the surface profile while mechanical brushing lifts loose scale — deeper decontamination than a solvent wipe alone.
Automatic and manual modes
Run unattended cycles with selectable cleaned length or weight, or drive it manually for one-off feedstock qualification.
Wire and rod compatible
Cleans spooled wire with precision positioning, plus a dedicated rod-cleaning mode for use with single- and multi-rod feeding systems.
Integrated safety and sensors
Built-in safety systems and sensors supervise the cleaning cycle in a compact, lab-friendly footprint that sits directly upstream of the atomizer.
Where ATO Wipe sits in the powder workflow
A native part of the ATO Metal Powder Production Suite — feedstock cleaning is the first quality gate before metal ever reaches the melt.
Step 01
Load feedstock
Mount spooled wire or load rods. Set the target cleaned length or weight for the run.
Step 02
Ultrasonic + brush clean
Ultrasonic cavitation and mechanical brushing remove oils, oxides and particulates from the surface as the feedstock advances.
Step 03
Feed a clean melt
Cleaned feedstock passes straight into ATO Lab Plus, ATO Sparq or a rod feeding system — lower oxygen, fewer inclusions, higher repeatability.
Who runs ATO Wipe

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 Noble Ultrasonic Precious Metal Powder Atomizer – Gold, Silver & Platinum | Zero-Loss Recovery
ATO Noble is an ultrasonic atomizer built for precious metals — it turns gold, silver, platinum and palladium feedstock into fine, spherical powder with Zero Loss recovery, so almost none of the high-value metal is lost. TIG melting under an inert argon atmosphere (oxygen below 0.1%) keeps chemistry and karat unchanged through atomization.
- ✓ Purpose-built for gold (9–24ct), silver, platinum, palladium and iridium
- ✓ Zero Loss Technology — closed-loop gas and filtration recover unused metal

Common questions
Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.
What does ATO Wipe actually clean off the feedstock?
ATO Wipe removes oils, oxides, drawing lubricants and loose particulates from the surface of metal wire and rod before atomization. It combines ultrasonic cavitation with mechanical brushing, so it reaches into the surface profile rather than just wiping the outside. Cleaner feedstock means lower oxygen pickup, fewer inclusions and more repeatable powder chemistry from batch to batch.
Which ATO atomizers and feeders is ATO Wipe compatible with?
ATO Wipe is a native part of the ATO ecosystem and installs directly upstream of atomization. It prepares feedstock for ATO Lab Plus and ATO Sparq, and its rod-cleaning mode works with the ATO single-rod and multi-rod feeding systems. Additive Plus configures each ATO Wipe to match your specific atomizer and feeding setup.
Does ATO Wipe handle both wire and rod?
Yes. ATO Wipe cleans spooled wire with precision positioning and has a dedicated rod-cleaning mode for use with rod feeding systems. You can run it automatically with a selectable cleaned length or weight, or drive it manually for one-off feedstock qualification. This makes it flexible for both routine production and small research batches.
Why clean feedstock if the atomizer melts it anyway?
Surface contamination on wire or rod goes straight into the molten pool during atomization, raising oxygen content, creating inclusions and destabilising the process. Melting does not remove it — it locks it into the powder. ATO Wipe eliminates the contamination before melting begins, which is why it improves powder purity and run-to-run repeatability.
Is ATO Wipe safe to run unattended?
ATO Wipe includes integrated safety systems and sensors that supervise the cleaning cycle, and its compact, lab-friendly design is built for bench-side operation. Automatic mode lets it run a defined cleaned length or weight without an operator standing by. Additive Plus covers installation and operator training so your team runs it safely from day one.
What is the lead time and how is ATO Wipe priced?
ATO Wipe is configured to order and priced per configuration, so pricing and lead time depend on your atomizer, feedstock form and throughput. 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.
