Introduction to air classification

.
(2009)8 October.

Abstract

Air classifiers are preferred over fine screening in one or both of the following situations: 1) the rate is too high for fine screening; 2) the cut point is too fine for screening. Take for example an application in which calcium carbonate must be separated at 75 microns. A common round vibrating separator with a 200 mesh screen can make a very sharp separation in such an application at about 1 tn/hr. But what if the desired processing rate is 30 tn/hr? Sure, you could install 30 vibrating screens, but that’s not really practical. A single air classifier could handle the entire 30 tn/hr.
