The Elbow Jet Air Classifier is the world s first air classifier capable of performing simultaneous particle classification of fine dry powders The Elbow Jet Air Classifier contains no rotating parts due to the fact it relies on airflow and does not contain a classifying wheel The elimination of these parts makes the Elbow Jet ideal for abrasive and high purity powders and makes it the
While density does play a role the air classifier separation process is mainly dependant on the mass and weight of the particles So how do they work When a feed of material enters the Air Classifier s chamber they encounter a column of rising air The air drag then creates an upward force counteracting with gravity to lift the materials
