Navector

What Navector does

Navector Technologies Co., Ltd is a Shanghai-headquartered, privately held industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 2005 that designs, manufactures, and services screening, sifting, filtration, and material-handling equipment for granular and bulk powder applications. Its core product lines span round vibro screens, tumbler and gyratory sifters, auto-cleaning systems (including ultrasonic deblinding), pharmaceutical filter/dryers, integrated microsphere processing systems, and — its most recent strategic extension — a full 3D metal additive manufacturing equipment portfolio covering VIGA, plasma, EIGA, and ultrasonic atomization, glove boxes, argon recovery, and a patented NMS additive recycling system (ZL 201921374052.X).

Underlying technology is rooted in physical process engineering rather than software: low-frequency high-speed vibration for ultrafine powders down to D50 < 1 μm, ultrasonic mesh-deblinding technology retrofittable onto existing sieves, plasma and ultrasonic atomization for high-sphericity low-oxygen metal powders, and integrated closed-system filtration/washing/dewatering/drying platforms for sterile microsphere production. Equipment is custom-engineered to specification, with measurable performance claims including up to 5× throughput vs. conventional screens, 2–3× mesh service life, and >90% energy reduction vs. traditional gas atomization.

The business model is B2B hardware sales supplemented by spare parts and after-sales service, with quote-based pricing and customized engineering. Navector sells direct through more than 10 global sales offices and after-sales service points across China, Germany, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Russia, and Vietnam, supported by active trade-show participation (CIBF, CPHI, Chinaplas, PM CHINA) and a multi-language website. The company serves six primary verticals: industrial manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, new energy/lithium battery, biopharmaceutical/biomaterials (drug-loaded microspheres), and additive manufacturing/3D printing. Named enterprise customers include BYD for battery slurry filtration. Headcount is 51–100; revenue is not disclosed. The company operates subsidiaries Navector Vietnam and Sunway New Materials (metal powder preparation) and has a 2026 strategic partnership with the People's Government of Xiangcheng County and Shanghai Jiao Tong University for high-end spherical metal powder production.
