Gravity classifier for precise particle separation
Achieve sharp separations in particle processing with minimal maintenance. Ideal for continuous operations, this gravity classifier is engineered to ensure precision cuts across multiple applications, effectively handling variable feed material compositions.
Separates and Classifies Powders and Granules
The MZM & MZF Multi-Plex Gravity Classifier from Hosokawa Alpine offers a low-maintenance, wear-resistant solution to precise particle separation across various industries. Utilizing a zigzag classifier design, it allows for steplessly adjustable precision of cut, making it ideal for achieving sharp separations in powders and granules ranging from 0.1 to 10 mm. With throughput capacities extending from a few kilograms per hour in lab settings to approximately 200 tons per hour at an industrial scale, this classifier is suitable for applications from fine metal powder production in additive manufacturing to the separation of cracked seeds and pigment particles. PLC controls facilitate seamless integration into automated production lines, while its robust construction withstands diverse operational conditions without requiring extensive maintenance. Available materials ensure durability and compatibility with a range of feed materials. Customization options include multi-tube configurations, enhancing its versatility in handling various particle sizes and feeds.
