Abstract: The invention relates to a system for the production of powders from metals. This system has a melting chamber (2) and a powder container (3) separated herefrom. In the melting chamber a metal rod (15) is melted through the high-frequency field of a coil (10) with differently dimensioned windings. The melted metal (28) penetrates through an opening (6) into the powder container (3) wherein it is pulverized in the region of the opening (6) due to different pressures in the melting chamber (2) and powder container (3) as well as by means of a dispersion system (5).
