Hosokawa - Micron Separator

Back

The Micron Separator is a "flow through" centrifugal air classifier that provides precise, efficient and reliable separation of materials. The Micron Separator, with its broad applications range, offers high capacity, high efficiency and cut points ranging from 8 to 150 µm. The Micron Separator can be retrofitted to many popular grinders. Sizes range from lab/pilot to production units with feed capacity up to 20 tons/hr.

The Micron Separator classifies particles by balancing the centrifugal force of the rotor and the centripetal force of the air. Material to be separated is pulled in by the fan to through the inlet duct and up to the rotor, where the opposing two forces classify it. Fine particles, more susceptible to centripetal force, are carried on the air current through the rotor and then discharged through the upper outlet duct. Coarse particles, more suspecptical to centrifugal force, flow down the inside wall of the machine and go out the coarse particle discharge. Since the rotor speed determines the centrifugal force, particle size can be easily adjusted by changing the rotor speed.

Typical application in the fine chemicals industry include: calcium sulfide; silicon carbide; acrylic resin; magnesium oxide; magnesium dioxide and carbon black.
