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.

TAFA Model 1288 -
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.
Model 1288 Features:
-
Carrier gas flow on/off switch with LED indicator light
-
Differential pressure switch to sense torch back pressure versus hopper pressure
-
Electrical controls enclosure
-
Gas controls enclosure
-
Needle valve to control by-pass carrier gas flow
-
Powder ball valve assembly
-
Pressure gauge to indicate GF-HVOF torch back pressure
-
Pressure gauge to indicate powder hopper pressure
-
Pressure regulator and a pressure gauge to control powder feed carrier gas supply pressure
-
Remote feeder on/off switch with LED indicator light
-
Rotameter with needle valve to control carrier gas flow
-
Two LED lights (green/red) to indicate open/closed status of powder ball valve
