We’re pleased to add another brilliant BigRep machine to our catalogue – The BigRep SHIELD industrial filament dry cabinet.

Designed to protect your filament from material degradation, the BigRep SHIELD dry cabinet stores filament in ideal conditions to save you time and money, by preventing downtime and damages. Air circulates in the high-capacity, over-pressured chamber  as the desiccant chamber achieves 0.01% relative humidity, crushing the industry standard of 1% by 100X. Unquestionably vital for the storage of hygroscopic materials, the BigRep SHIELD can reduce misprints and material waste due to moisture absorption in filament by up to 20%. Extend the life of your 3D printing system and save up to 50% on repair costs from clogging and extruder damage caused by moisture-absorbing materials.

ADVANCED FEATURES IN A STATE-OF-THE-ART SYSTEM

NO HUMIDITY, NO HEAT

The BigRep SHIELD prevents filament moisture absorption without heat by operating in a sealed environment with air circulation. By looping air through a controlled desiccant chamber the SHIELD effectively eliminates 99.99% of airborne moisture, maintaining 0.01% relative humidity, without risking over-drying from longterm heat exposure.

CONSTANT OVERPRESSURE

The Sealed Filament Dry Chamber maintains constant overpressure for an airtight storage volume. This prevents moisture from entering its chamber during regular operation and ensures the system can quickly remove any airborne humidity with 100% air recirculation.

INDUSTRIAL RELIABILITY

BigRep collaborated with Amboss+Langbein, an industry leader with almost 40 years expertise in drying systems for plastics manufacturing. This combined wealth of industrial knowledge, along with quality components and a Siemens control system, resulted in the robust and reliable BigRep SHIELD that ensures ultimate productivity protection at all times.

MASSIVE CAPACITY

The industrial-sized storage chamber holds up to 60kg of filament, enough material for one month continuous 24/7 printing. The SHIELD provides ample space for safe, long-term storage of highly-sensitive additive manufacturing materials to maintain their ideal condition.
