TAFA Model 1264
Our open-loop pressurized TAFA Model 1264 powder feeder sets the industry standard for performance and versatility. The unit features a large digital display on the control panel that indicates powder wheel speed, maintenance and total run time. A set-temperature heater blanket keeps the powder warm to prevent absorption of moisture, and the canister delivers a pressure rating of up to 90 psi / 621 kPa.
Whether you’re using the Model 1264 to feed fine oxides or coarse dense alloys, you’ll get unparalleled precision and repeatability, time and time again.

Modeled after the proven 1264 design, the TAFA Model 1264i is a closed-loop RPM control with high/low warnings that improve powder feed-rate control and coating reproducibility. The feeder comes with a state-of-the-art PLC for process control and an easy-to-use touchscreen that can be mounted remotely. It also includes a removable quick-change powder hopper that is 50% larger than the Model 1264 and delivers an increased pressure rating of up to 125 psi / 862 kPa. 
Available with all the features of Model 1264i, the TAFA Model 1264WL powder feeder offers improved productivity, consistency and ease of use—maximizing powder feed-rate stability with reliable closed-loop weight-loss control. The unit also includes a powder constraints self-teach program, a quick-tune powder to feed-rate program, fast response time to set point and programmable “noise” filters that reduce the effects of air movement and vibration on the weight scale. 
A carrier gas control system for high back pressure applications, TAFA Model 1288 provides safe operation of our 1264-type powder feeders. The unit is designed for potentially dangerous applications where high back pressures could cause back flow to the powder feeder, such as in gaseous-fueled HVOF systems where back pressures are typically over 50 PSI / 345 kPa.
